Clinton advisers point fingers at Huma Abedin, inner circle for loss
NY Post ^ | December 18, 2016 | Fox

While many of Hillary Clinton’s top advisers have focused their post-presidential election fury on blaming alleged Russian interference and FBI Director James Comey for Clinton’s loss, some in the so-called “Hillaryland” orbit are looking inward, including pointing fingers at Clinton’s most-trusted aide: Huma Abedin.

“The real anger is toward Hillary’s inner circle,” a Clinton insider told Vanity Fair for a Wednesday feature on Abedin. “They reinforced all the bad habits.”

One of the most important people in that “inner circle” was Abedin, 40, who has been by Clinton’s side since she was a White House intern during President Bill Clinton’s tenure. The email trove hacked from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta and posted on WikiLeaks shows Abedin, the estranged wife of disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner, as an important resource for the campaign. The vice chair of the Clinton campaign, Abedin offered guidance on Clinton’s probable thoughts regarding upcoming events, meetings and calls before the requests ever made it to the Democratic presidential candidate. While her fingerprints don’t often appear on policy issues, she weighed in with authority on most other matters.

Clinton was known to keep an extremely small and tight-knit group around her, and, indeed, during the 2016 primary and presidential campaign, the core group – including Campaign Manager Robbie Mook, Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri, adviser Cheryl Mills, Podesta and Abedin – never changed.

Just look at his cabinet to see how he will get results.

I wish them luck. My hope is tempered by the wall of federal personnel rules and regulations they will run into.

They keep blaming anyone and anything else.

How soon before they find some obscure movie to blame?

They are looking in the wrong place.

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall ...

its never hillarys fault

Hillary should have realized it was over, when she ranted, 'Why aren't I 50 points ahead?'

She and the sycophants spent too much time relying on the polling data that showed her 10 points ahead.

Huma was a KGB mole, planted by Putin to sabotage the campaign, including giving poison to Hillary so she would look sick and transmitting copies of campaign files to the Russians.

I tend to doubt this.

It would be more likely to me that she was an Islamic mole on the inside.

Her parents are on the inside of Islamic terrorist organizations.

Putin has his own Islamic terrorist problems, so I’m not sure he would be cozy with the daughter of parents like she has.

It would be too easy for him to get double-crossed.

I don’t rule this out, but I have seen Huma express emotion over the problems that affected her this year.

Clinton trusts her quite a bit. If she had an inkling she shouldn’t be, she would have dumped her.

Hillary Clinton is to blame for Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 presidential election.

The problem is that they are sounding a bit like John Belushi when Carrie Fisher catches up with him in The Blues Brothers.

It was the Electoral System.
It was James Comey.
It was Anthony Weiner
It was a Russian hacker.
It was fake news.
It was all the racist Trump supporters.
She won the popular vote.
Now it is Huma.

What is really interesting the same media that was totally disinterested when Obama was caught on an open mic telling Russian President Medvedev: “Tell Vald that I’ll have more flexibility once I am re-elected” is now all up in arms.

I was just trying to be funny, trying to imitate a Democrat mind-set. So how soon will it be before the Democrats try to link Huma to Putin (since Huma is now in their dog house)?

Isn’t Shrillery the one who said that TRUMP would be the perfect candidate for her to go up against?

Time for her to flee to Saudi forthwith.

Nah. Time for her to pull a Henry Hill, or a Sammy the Bull.
