Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?

"It was like 110 degrees outside," recalled the source, a political aide who asked to remain anonymous. "We were all just pouring down with sweat. But I have this distinct memory of Huma traipsing in in this blue pantsuitit was like this wool pantsuitnot a bead of sweat on her brow, not a hair out of place, with everything perfectly organized in her Yves Saint Laurent handbag."
...The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.
Ms. Abedin recently bought an apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C. ...
Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. She was hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady's chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton's permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton's aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race.
Her Presidential campaign title is "traveling chief of staff"...
According to a friend, her favorite designers are Mr. de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan and Prada. "And she has a weakness for Marc Jacobs bags," said the friend. "She is known for her bags."
Robert Barnett, the Clintons' longtime attorney, said that in 11 years of knowing her, he has never seen her wear the same outfit twice...
Huma Abedin's father died, about 15 years ago, when Huma Abedin was 17.
Huma Abedin's mother seems to be referred to, variously, as "Saleha Abedin", "Saleha Mahmood Abedin", "Saleha S. Mahmood Abedin", and "Saleha S. Mahmood".
She is believed to be employed as a Sociology Professor at Dar Al-Hekma Women's College, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and it appears that she now holds the position of the Director of the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs, which was founded by her late husband:

The IRS needs to be aware of this.
Very good investigative work.!!!
No not hiding but how many people know a Muslim is Hillary's adviser and constant companion even now? The article states Huma is Hillary's mystery woman and has been since 1996-97.
Yes, it's the Muslim part I don't like.
My concern of course is a Muslim being situated in the top office of our government if Hillary becomes president
Not only this, but her and Bill’s relationship with the Chinese is very strange and could be very dangerous for the USA. When is someone going to have the guts to investigate these treasonous people?
Keep it comin!
How many times in 15 years have I wondered the same thing! I wish I had some power to do so. LOL
Has anyone yet stated the obvious: she is Hillary’s squeeze and Hillary gave her the money (gifts). It is that obvious to me.....
Life insurance. Responsible people have at least 10 or 15 times their yearly salary in life insurance. Most people are literally worth more dead then alive.
Not saying this is the case here just pointing out the possibilities.

Hillary did SO EXTREMELY well “investing” ... what’s to say
she didn’t grease the wheels to get Huma a heads up from the many Clinton Wall Street friends on an IPO, insider stock info, etc.?
No, this is just speculation, at this point.
