Top Clinton aide accused of receiving overpayments at State Department (Huma Weiner)

State Department investigators concluded this year that Huma Abedin, one of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s closest aides, was overpaid by nearly $10,000 because of violations of rules governing vacation and sick leave during her tenure as an official in the department.

The finding — which Abedin has formally contested — emerged publicly Friday after Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) sent letters to Secretary of State John F. Kerry and others seeking more information about an investigation into possible “criminal” conduct by Abedin concerning her pay.

The letters also sought the status of an inquiry into whether Abedin had violated conflict-of-interest laws related to her special employment situation, which allowed her to work simultaneously for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and a private firm with close ties to the Clintons.

The finding that Abedin, a longtime Clinton confidante who now serves as vice chairwoman of her presidential campaign, had improperly collected taxpayer money could prove damaging to Clinton’s candidacy, as Republicans charge that government rules were routinely bent to benefit Clinton and her aides.

At the same time, the letters, which for the first time have publicized an internal pay dispute that has been simmering for months, could bolster Democratic claims that congressional Republicans are using their oversight role to hurt Clinton politically.

Huma being prosecuted for overpayment is like Al Capone being busted for tax evasion.

Clinton told his mistress, she said, that his wife was 'cold and not playful at all in bed. She didn't like to experiment and insisted on the missionary position and nothing else.'

It was, according to Flowers, a lack of enthusiasm that first raised Clinton's suspicions that his wife was more interested in women than men. He told her, she said, 'Honey, she's probably eaten more p**** than me.'

Why do you think Hillary released her tax returns showing $41 MILLION in Federal taxes paid since 2006 or whatever?

She must be desperate: because there goes her claim to represent the average American (or Mexican, or Iranian, or...)

Can you *imagine* what Bernie Sanders will do with that?

(The Donald will just piss on her for being a loser, "only $41 million", and get people to like him for saying so: because, secretly, everyone hates the Haughty Hildebeast.)

(1) the State Department,
(2)the Clinton Foundation and a
(3)private firm with close ties to the Clintons.
AND (4) For Hillary personally.

Remember when Bill Clinton infamously said to Ted Kennedy about Obama, "A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee" ...?

Payback's a b*tch, Bill. Soon Obama will be saying publicly, "a few year s ago, the Clintons would have been wearing white robes" and not have to care about pushback...

Two of the Lincoln Bedroom’s renters — Linda Thomason and actress Markie Post — are pictured.

Lincoln Bedroom Guests Gave $5.4 Million

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Feb. 26 [1997]) — President Bill Clinton’s guests in the Lincoln Bedroom gave a total of at least $5.4 million to the Democratic National Committee during 1995 and 1996, according to a study for CNN by the Campaign Study Group.

Among the biggest donors were investor Dirk Ziff, who gave $411,000; movie producer Steven Spielberg, $336,000; retired businessman William Rollnick, $235,000; and Hollywood mogul Lew Wasserman, $225,000.

The CNN study found 24 overnight White House guests who gave $100,000 or more to the DNC. CNN’s $5.4 million figure does not include money given to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or any state party committees.
memo

On Tuesday, the Clinton White House released the names of 800-plus people who stayed overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom, and the president defended the practice of inviting friends and supporters to stay overnight.

In other words: the Clintons used your property (the White House) as a way of raising campaign cash.

"(3)private firm with close ties to the Clintons."

Mysteriously unnamed private firm might be more appropriate. Why?

Note that there are zero articles that say that when democrats in roles of their power go after republicans, it might be because they are trying to make a political attack on the republicans.

You never see that. The media is over 90% democrat voter, that’s why you don’t see that. They give cover to the democrats and run the hit pieces when the roles are reversed.
