Hillary Clinton email probe turns to Huma
Politico ^ | 8/13/15 5:05 AM EDT | By Rachael Bade

Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s most trusted confidante, is increasingly becoming a central figure in the email scandal that’s haunting her boss on the campaign trail, as Republicans and federal judges seek information about Clinton’s communications while she was running the State Department.

The 2016 Democratic front-runner on Monday told a federal judge that Abedin — long considered her boss’s keeper and even dubbed her “shadow” — had her own email account on Clinton’s now infamous home-brewed server, “which was used at times for government business,” Clinton acknowledged. That’s an unusual arrangement, even for top brass at the State Department.

Abedin has hired a team of lawyers, one of whom is a former Clinton aide, who are responding to information requests from the courts and State. They’ve denied any wrongdoing on the part of their client and said Abedin is cooperating with requests for official emails in her possession, aiming to turn over all her correspondence by the end of August.

I would love to see the media start asking Anthony Weiner to comment on this.

HRC probably wants to keep the hard drive around in case something bigger and more nasty is exposed and she can cough it up and have the IC recover something on the drive that exonerates her.

Or, some 3rd tier lawyer not familiar with classified material protocols told her that erasing a file is not destruction of evidence, but destroying the physical disk drive is and she is “parsing” like Bill.

I kid you not.

Destroying the hard drives itself would potentially be a felony but yes she would and probably did.

Sharyl Attkisson posted this today (with a link to her original article published almost 1 year ago)

A former State Department diplomat made a startling allegation: Hillary Clinton confidants were part of an operation to “separate” damaging documents before they were turned over to the Accountability Review Board investigating security lapses surrounding the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya.

At last word, no law enforcement body had reached out to the State Department official, Raymond Maxwell, who said he witnessed the basement operation; and the State Department had not indicated interest in obtaining details from him.

Did Clinton Aides Withhold Damaging Benghazi Documents?

Here’s some factoids I’ve clustered regarding the investigation on Huma:

- Monday CLINTON declared under penalty of perjury that she handed over all her work emails to the State Department for record-keeping purposes; ....***Abedin declined a judge’s request to do the same.”””.....

-Huma’s worked for 20 yrs. for Clinton from age of 19.

-Huma had *her own account* on Hillary’s unsecured, unencripted, home brewed (garaged) server she did Gov. business on......................(Classified must be stored where no one can gain access wihtout special clearance. and an *official government address* that is required by* transparency rules*).

-Abedin has hired a team of lawyers, . *former Clinton Aide*..Karen Dunn and Miguel Rodriguez

-Huma’s *official only* emails in her possession won’t be turned over til end of August.

-Abedin had ***special government employee*** status, allowing her to work both for Clinton and the private sector...on the payroll for Clinton Foundation and Teneo, a consulting firm founded by former Clinton White House adviser Doug Band. ***She previously had *NOT DISCLOSED* the dual employment.***

-Abedin and Band were on more than 7,000 emails together while she worked at State

-Did she continue using the server that held classified information following leaving departure from her full-time State gig...and woking for the Clinton Foundation?????

-“conflict of interest.” .Abedin is or has been investigated for criminal misconduct by the State Department inspector general

-Abedinis attorney said she maintained her security clearance while she worked as a State contractor
findings State Depart inspector general ..

-Abedin was overpaid $10,000 for “unused” time off she actually took but did not record while working at State
