I do remember (though I have no link...just my memory) that when this man was arrested that there were “rumors” that he was actually in the employ of the government.

Huma Abedin was born in 1976 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Her father, Syed Abedin (1928-1993), was an Indian-born scholar who had worked as a visiting professor at Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz University in the early Seventies.
Huma’s mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is a sociologist known for her strong advocacy of Sharia Law. A member of the Muslim Sisterhood (i.e., the Muslim Brotherhood’s division for women), Saleha is also a board member of the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief. This pro-Hamas entity is part of the Union of Good, which the U.S. government has formally designated as an international terrorist organization led by the Muslim Brotherhood luminary Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
When Huma was two, the Abedin family relocated from Michigan to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This move took place when Abdullah Omar Naseef, then-vice president of Abdulaziz University (AU), recruited his former AU colleague, Zyed Abedin, to work for the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA), a Saudi-based Islamic think tank that Naseef was preparing to launch. A number of years later, Naseef would develop close ties to Osama bin Laden and the terrorist group al Qaeda. Naseef also spent time (beginning in the early 1980s) as secretary-general of the Muslim World League, which, as journalist Andrew C. McCarthy points out, “has long been the Muslim Brotherhood’s principal vehicle for the international propagation of Islamic supremacist ideology.”
It is vital to note that IMMA’s “Muslim Minority Affairs” agenda was, and remains to this day, a calculated foreign policy of the Saudi Ministry of Religious Affairs, designed, as Andrew C. McCarthy explains, “to grow an unassimilated, aggressive population of Islamic supremacists who will gradually but dramatically alter the character of the West.” For details about this agenda, click here.
At age 18, Huma Abedin returned to the U.S. to attend George Washington University. In 1996 she began working as an intern in the Bill Clinton White House, where she was assigned to then-First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. Abedin was eventually hired as an aide to Mrs. Clinton and has worked for her ever since, through Clinton’s successful Senate runs (in 2000 and 2006) and her failed presidential bid in 2008.
From 1997 until sometime before early 1999, Abedin, while still interning at the White House, was an executive board member of George Washington University’s (GWU) Muslim Students Association (MSA), heading the organization’s “Social Committee.”
It is noteworthy that in 2001-02, soon after Abedin left that executive board, the chaplain and “spritual guide” of GWU’s MSA was Anwar al-Awlaki, the al Qaeda operative who ministered to some of the men who were among the 9/11 hijackers. Another chaplain at GWU’s MSA (from at least October 1999 through April 2002) was Mohamed Omeish, who headed the International Islamic Relief Organization, which has been tied to the funding of al Qaeda. Omeish’s brother, Esam, headed the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Brotherhood’s quasi-official branch in the United States. Both Omeish brothers were closely associated with Abdurahman Alamoudi, who would later be convicted and incarcerated on terrorism charges.
From 1996-2008, Abedin was employed by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as the assistant editor of its in-house publication, the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA). At least the first seven of those years overlapped with the al Qaeda-affiliated Abdullah Omar Naseef’s active presence at IMMA. Abedin’s last six years at the Institute (2002-2008) were spent as a JMMA editorial board member; for one of those years, 2003, Naseef and Abedin served together on that board.
Throughout her years with IMMA, Abedin remained a close aide to Hillary Clinton. During Mrs. Clinton’s 2008 presidential primary campaign, a New York Observer profile of Abedin described her as “a trusted advisor to Mrs. Clinton, especially on issues pertaining to the Middle East, according to a number of Clinton associates.” “At meetings on the region,” continued the profile, “... Ms. Abedin’s perspective is always sought out.”
When Mrs. Clinton was appointed as President Barack Obama’s Secretary of State in 2009, Abedin became her deputy chief of staff. At approximately that same point in time, Abedin’s name was removed from the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs’ masthead.
Apart from their working relationship, Abedin and Mrs. Clinton have also developed a close personal bond over their years together, as reflected in Clinton’s 2010 assertion that: “I have one daughter. But if I had a second daughter, it would [be] Huma.” In 2011, Secretary Clinton paid a friendly visit to Abedin’s mother, Saleha, in Saudi Arabia. On that occasion, Mrs. Clinton publicly described her aide’s position as “very important and sensitive.”
On July 10, 2010, Huma Abedin, a practicing Muslim, married then-congressman Anthony Weiner in a ceremony officiated by former president Bill Clinton. A number of analysts have noted that it is extremely rare for Islamic women—particularly those whose families have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood—to marry non-Muslims like Weiner, who is Jewish. Indeed, Dr. Anwar Shoeb, the highest-ranking faculty authority at the prestigious College of Sharia and Islamic Studies in Kuwait, formally declared that Abedin’s marriage to Weiner was “null and void” under the dictates of Sharia Law, which explicitly forbids matrimony between a Muslim woman and an “infidel”; in fact, Shoeb classified the Abedin-Weiner union as a form of “adultery.”
Abedin went on maternity leave after giving birth to a baby boy in early December 2011. When she returned to work in June 2012, the State Department granted her an arrangement that allowed her to do outside consulting work as a “special government employee,” even as she remained a top advisor in the Department. Abedin did not disclose on her financial report either the arrangement or the $135,000 she earned from it, in violation of a law mandating that public officials disclose significant sources of income. Abedin’s outside clients included the U.S. State Department, Hillary Clinton, the William Jefferson Clinton Foundation, and Teneo (a firm co-founded by Doug Band, a former counselor for Bill Clinton). Good-government groups warned of the potential conflict-of-interest inherent in an arangement where a government employee maintains private clients.
In June 2012, five Republican lawmakers (most prominently, Michele Bachmann) sent letters to the inspectors general at the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and State, asking that they investigate whether the Muslim Brotherhood was gaining undue influence over U.S. government officials. One letter, noting that Huma Abedin’s position with Hillary Clinton “affords her routine access to the secretary [of state] and to policymaking,” expressed concern over the fact that Abedin “has three family members—her late father, mother and her brother—connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations.” Some other prominent Republicans such as John McCain and John Boehner disavowed the concerns articulated in the letters.
On February 1, 2013—Hillary Clinton’s final day as Secretary of State—Abedin resigned her post as Mrs. Clinton’s deputy chief of staff.
On March 1, 2013, Abedin was tapped to run Clinton’s post-State Department transition team, comprised of a six-person “transition office” located in Washington.
Huma Abedin’s brother, Hassan Abedin, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and is currently an associate editor with the JMMA. Hassan was once a fellow at the Oxford Center for Islamic Studies, at a time when the Center’s board included such Brotherhood-affiliated figures as Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Abdullah Omar Naseef.
Huma’s sister, Heba Abedin (formerly known as “Heba A. Khaled”), is an assistant editor with JMMA, where she served alongside Huma prior to the latter’s departure.
When did Obama make his comment about the future not belonging to those who criticize Islam? ——————————————————————— September 26,2012 The speech certainly seems to tailored towards supporting an initiative such as the one Walid Shoebat describes below The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) had been pushing for criminalizing criticism of Islam for years, as far back as 1999. However, the objective of the OIC – to make illegal “defamation of religions” – needed a moderation makeover, which led to the “Istanbul Process”, kicked off officially in the city of its namesake, little more than one year prior to the Benghazi attacks. The agenda was intended to give a facelift to UN Resolution 16/18, which was adopted earlier that year by the Human Rights Council. Hillary Clinton attended and Co-chaired this event with then Secretary General of the OIC – Ekmeleddin Ä°hsanoÄŸlu – and Foreign Minister DavutoÄŸlu – on July 15, 2011. The speech certainly could be construed as setting the stage for international laws “to make illegal “defamation of religions” and does tend to support the notion that the video was part of a larger effort to push that agenda forward that when viewed in context see video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFGz8Ub167A

They need to be hanged!
There is no reason the taxpayers need to reward them for bad criminal behavior, by enlarging their "manhood".
Cankles runs? Coulda fooled me.
it’s been reported that they may have been lesbian bed buddies.
They must really really really, pay her a lot!
> They must really really really, pay her a lot!
Ever had a thought you wish you could retract? I just did.
Doesn’t surprise me a bit.
It does appear this administration is hell bent on assisting ISIS. Bombing Syria, training them, giving them former Libyan weapons, doing nothing while they storm northern Iraq, sure looks like odd.
I think the strangest thing is how Obama rushed to bomb Syria, a move that gave us nothing. There was no benefit and Syria wasn’t an ally. With Iraq, limited airstrikes make sense and a majority would likely support it, yet he does nothing.
SPOT-ON.
Honestly, I’ve assumed this was the case the whole time. The whole thing reeked of being a bad cover story.
It’ll never happen...
Fox News (not a total conservative retailer of the political narratives that are passed off as “news” these days) cannot even keep up with the current pile of nonsense coming out of D.C. and our state and local governments now...
But then again, it might make for a really nice deflective story, for about an hour on Fox News...That’s about all it would get...
Whatever - hanged - got rope?
Well now...
It all boils down to the fact that Obama is a MUSLIM, in addition to incompetent, psycho, traitor, communist, etc. Need I say more?
Here’s the part you are missing. (deep breath)
Like most normal people, you look at leftists and wonder how they can side with people that want them destroyed. that ultimately the alligator eats them too. that is a sane way to look at it.
It is also a case of category error. The issue is being so poorly defined that there is no way to solve it.
Hill and other leftists believe in superiority. They believe they are smarter, wiser, ect. than everyone. They believe they are better than everyone and they believe that only they PERSONALLY matter. Such is life as a godless leftist.
Not to go down that rabbit hole, but the whole God thing is the core of the issue in several ways. For muslims, Allah is the core of their whole deal. For leftists, ‘God’ is a lever to pry stupid believers with. Because they are above all that ‘God nonsense’. They are personally supreme and gods of themselves.
Now to the issue: Libs are racists. Real legit ones. They believe in the whole master race thing with them at the top. This is why you see them U S E minorities to achieve their power goals while never benefiting the minorities themselves. Minorities are pitted against each other, each begging for scraps from the table of the liberal power structure.
In Barry, you get a complete package. A mixed race, mixed faith blank slate that has worked hard to hid what he is so that he can be whatever the situation dictates. One day a christian telling the faithful that God believes in gay marriage, the next a muslim friend of the Jews who would reach across the aisle if only the Jews would accept his kindness.
Throughout this fecal storm of category 5 proportions, he manipulates people who he sees as stupid inferior bitter clingers. And those that don’t get on board are carefully Alynskied by the media and his legion of nameless/faceless “White House Aides” who are quoted in said media but who never seem to have corporeal form.
Hillary is exactly the same. She and Bill used the same routine in the 90s and she used it as senator and SOS.
Before her, Carter used it. Before him LBJ. Before him leftists throughout history. Because it is who they are. Gods unto themselves and the lives of the unliberal are pawns on a board to be played and manipulated.
It is hard for people to really grasp the mindset of megalomania. It seems like a funny word. It is hard for people to understand true evil because they can’t relate to it. There is no point of reference in the life of the average human that lets them crawl inside the mindset of commanding as a God. How could there be? And in earlier eras, people that thought as the modern Liberal were placed in padded rooms for their own protection and allowed to self identify as Jesus or Napoleon, lest they throw themselves into walls and bang their heads on hard objects.
And it is that mindset of Godhood, of racial superiority that leads liberals to believe that they personally and ALONE can control the muslim hordes. They are better, smarter and gosh darn it! Muslims like them! They believe to their core that they will be feted as the great one who helped Allah rout the infidel hordes and sit in a position with Mohamhead.
And they arent concerned about the fellow liberals who will die. Because they do not matter to a God.
If you think the above sounds too insane to be possible, I invite you to carefully go through it and compare the statements to examples, many examples of the actions and behaviors you have seen leftists exhibit toward us, toward their fellow Libs, toward minorities and toward Muslims. I think you will find there is a credible case to be made.
Interesting take, Norm. Makes a lot of sense. Gives me something to think about. Thank you for typing all that up for me.
I just think in the overall that we give the left too much credit for acting/thinking in a sane manner or one that is based on reasonable premise. Their actions all point to being far outside those boundaries.
And I really do believe that they think themselves Gods.
