There is certainly more to the story of Ms. Abedin than meets the eye. I subscribe to Vogue, and when I read the article about her I was speechless. Where did this person come from? Hillary Clinton has been a political figure of some importance for 25 years. People like that have tons of hangers-on and many loyal staff people who stick with them as they rise to powr. Politicians running for high office usually insist on surrounding themselves with such longtime loyalists. How does a total newcomer like Huma Abedin end up being Hillary Clinton's closest persnal advisor? If she isn't Hillary's lover, she has defied every rule of politics to get where she is now. And if she is Hillary's lover, it's easy to imagine Hilary haveing a tremendous blind spot about Abedin's motives. It just does not pass the smell test if you know anything about politics!
