NY Times ^ | AUG. 25, 2015 | MAGGIE HABERMAN, AMY CHOZICK and STEVE EDER

Among the trove of emails released from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state was this instruction to a trusted aide who needed to brief her on a matter that could not wait:

“Just knock on the door to the bedroom if it’s closed,” Mrs. Clinton wrote in November 2009 to Huma Abedin, then her deputy chief of staff.

Poor Huma. You didn’t think that you’d be the one doing 10 to 20 as the fall-girl for Hillary, did ya?

But is Hillary willing to throw her closest political confidant under the bus over this scandal?

Hillary would throw her daughter under the bus if it meant her political survival.

Since she first interned for Mrs. Clinton as a 19-year-old George Washington University student, Ms. Abedin, now 40, has held a singular role as one of the former first lady’s most trusted, and most visible, confidantes...

Oh, we are fairly sure what urgent business Mrs. Clinton had with Huma in the bedroom, but does the NYT really need to tell us about this….unless they are hoping that Bernie Sanders can lead the USA to the Socialist Utopia?

Wrong questions.

Will Huma’s handlers in the Muslim Brotherhood sit by and let their best source of American intelligence head up the river? Answer: Of course they will.

Second and more interesting question: What price will they extract?

A shady aspect of top Hillary aide, Huma Abdein’s unusual State Department career: she founded a private company called “Zain Endeavors LLC” eleven days before she left Hillary’s employ (named for her infant son).......

BGRND Abedin worked as a full-time staffer to Hillary Clinton January 2009-June 2012; she was then given a “special government employee” designation designed to allow individuals who fill “an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise” to retain their private-sector positions while receiving compensation from the government.

Judiciary Chair, Sen Charles Grassley, has been pressing the State Department to answer questions over Abedin’s lucrative govt job arrangement. Grassley wrote in a June 13 letter, “It appears that Teneo Strategies may have been compensating Ms. Abedin for gathering information from government sources for the purpose of informing investment decisions of her consulting clients - or in other words, political intelligence.

Sen Grassley observed: “This raises important questions about whether Abedin’s dual role was adequately disclosed to government officials who may have provided her information without realizing that she was being paid by private investors to gather information.”

Grassley’s letter recounted:

<><> Abedin allegedly sent or received more than 7,000 emails on her US government account that involved Teneo’s Doug Band, a close confidante and travel companion of the globe-trotting, buck-raking Bill Clinton;

<><> one email exchange involved Teneo’s Doug Band pressuring Abedin to encourage her State Department boss, Hillary Clinton, to facilitate a White House appointment for one of his clients. Judith Rodin, then-president of the Rockefeller Foundation, “donated hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation,” Mr. Band allegedly noted in his email to Ms. Abedin.

<><> email evidence allegedly suggests that Ms. Abedin and another Hillary aide, Cheryl Mills, colluded to find a way to ensure the US govt paid for Ms. Abedin’s travel to and from New York.”

<><> Abedin apparently falsifed govt financial documents to get $33,000 tax dollars for paid State Department leave she said she hadn’t used.

<><> yet, multiple allegations received by Grassley’s Judiciary Committee indicated Abedin had actually taken leave during her time as a govt employee, casting doubt on whether Abedin should have received $33,000 in taxpayer money.

<><> allegations surfaced that the State Dept personnel rule was quietly bent to permit Abedin to collect her government paycheck while wielding her influence to the benefit of her other employers.

<><> Hillary Clinton jetted to Ireland with Abedin at her side for her last official trip before exiting the State Dept, during which Hillary attended an event hosted by a major Clinton Foundation donor that had been promoted by Teneo (for which Abedin then-served as a “consultant”)

<><> Abedin’s special employment status gave her heavy influence over Hillary Clinton’s State Dept daily schedule and travel plans at the same time Abedin served as a senior adviser at Teneo, and performed other duties at the Clinton Foundation.

<><> Abedin using information about Hillary’s travel schedule in discussions w/ her clients, could be a serious breach of US ntl security, since even the calendar amd travel plans of the Secy of State is considered classified information.

<><> Abedin was among several key aides to Hillary Clinton that hosted email accounts on a private server in the 2016 presidential candidate’s Chappaqua, New York home, in violation of federal records laws.

<><> Abedin is currently vice-chair of Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign committee.

Maybe Hillary was listening to Chris Carter’s advice to NFL rookies on the need to tell their homies that one of them needed to be the designated fall-guy.

“Ms. Rodin received a presidential appointment two years before Ms. Abedin began working for Teneo — and that Mr. Grassley was citing hearsay related to email exchanges he had not seen.”

I don’t see why this demonstrates this was false, this could have just been the payoff once the deed was done.

Hillary’s aides used their tax-paid positions at the State Dept to cash-in-—they romped all over the State Dept looking for money-making opportunities .....like it was their private playground.

Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon details how Cheryl Mills, another one of Hillary Clinton’s longtime underlings, apparently collected a paycheck from New York University at the same time she was serving as Chief of Staff of the State Department.

According to the article: After joining the State Department in the beginning of 2009, Mills continued to serve as general counsel for New York University for several months. She also sat on the board of the “NYU in Abu Dhabi Corporation,” the fundraising arm for the university’s UAE satellite campus. The school is bankrolled by the Abu Dhabi government and has been criticized by NYU professors and human rights activists for alleged labor abuses.

The UAE is a major funder of the Clinton Foundation, on whose board Mills sat. The article quotes NLPC Chairman Ken Boehm:

“Federal of conflict interest statutes are very strict, and they want to ensure that federal employees, especially very senior special employees like Cheryl Mills, do not have any conflicts of interest in any matter that they have a hand in,” said Boehm. “Given her position, the dual position of counselor and chief of staff, presumably she would have access to almost any decision of importance that came out of the State Department.”

UPDATE—

<><> Mills rejoined the board of the Clinton Foundation in 2013, after Hillary exited State.

<><> Mills currently runs the BlackIvy Group, a consulting firm that focuses on dirt-poor Sub-Saharan Africa.


CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

DEMAND CONGRESS SEND YOU THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

<><> (A) TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW HOW MANY GOVT PAYCHECKS MILLS WAS POCKETING

<><> IS CHERYL MILLS STILL ON THE PAYROLL COLLECTING US GOVT PAYCHECKS (an old bureaucratic trick)?

<><> Did Hillary’s State Dept grant Cheryl Mill’s BlackIvy Group tax monies?

<><> did any of the Sub-Sahara groups receive foreign aid grants from Hillary’s State dept?

<><>Did any of the Sub-Sahara countries listed below donate to the Clinton Foundation

<><> Did Mill’s BlackIvy Group donate to The Clinton Foundation?

<><> Did the Clinton Foundation partner w/ BlackIvy Group in sub-Sahara projects?

SUB SAHARAN AFRICA—— African Union Benin Botswana Burkina Faso Cameroon Congo (Brazzaville) Congo (DRC-Kinshasa) Ethiopia Ghana Guinea Ivory Coast Kenya Lesotho Madagascar Malawi Mauritius Mozambique Namibia Niger Nigeria Rwanda Senegal Sierra Leone South Africa Swaziland Tanzania Togo Uganda Zambia.

NOTE: Sub-Sahara Africans are streaming into the US at an alarming rate-—calculatedly being located in states to give Dems a voting bloc. All of it being subsidized by struggling US taxpayers.

This wench Huma was the one who sent word to her Mooslime Brotherhood friends in Egypt to put out a press release from the U.S. embassy there; saying that the video caused the attack in Benghazi. No doubt in my mind about that.

Most lefties think Benghazi is Spanish for Ben Gay by the way.
