Huma Abedin: Hillary Clinton stayed with her husband because it was "right for herself, her family and her country"
cbsnews ^ | 11/02/2021 | Caitlin Yilek

Huma Abedin has spent much of her career alongside Hillary Clinton. She was there when President Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky was revealed, and was still close with Clinton decades later, when her own unraveling marriage to disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner threatened to derail Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

After 25 years in the background, Abedin is now sharing what it was like to be with Clinton when the Lewinsky affair became public. In her new book, "Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds," Abedin writes that she "was sad and angry on behalf of the woman who is now my boss" after Mr. Clinton admitted he had lied about his relationship with Lewinsky.

Sounds like a progressive motto: Me First, then Family and lastly My Country.

Maybe West Point should look into this?

What’s Bonnie without Clyde? Personally I wish they enjoy their remaining years together and not poking their corrupted selves onto the national stage. The thrills (up the leg) has gone, right Chrissy?

Book soon to be found in the “two for a dollar” bin at walmart

Might be twice that, given the impending paper shortage. It isn't optimal, having Clinton flack falsehoods on your wipes, but we can't be choosy in a Biden economy.

How different would the world be had Hill had left Buba over Monica? Alas we will never know but in the end she likely did the right thing for the country (but the wrong thing for herself and her family) given the prospect of President Al. Just sayin.

She stayed so they can’t testify against each other.

It may have turned my head if she had walked away from him for what he did. If she had showed some guts in that respect, I and many others might have voted for her.

Linda Tripp called it right......”the power of the two.”

Linda was a Lewinsky confidant and disclosed to S/P Ken Starr
<><>that she was aware of the Lewinsky/Clinton sexual relationship,
<><>that Lewinsky had submitted a false affidavit to the ARK federal court re Clinton v. Jones lawsuit,
<><>and that Lewinsky had attempted to suborn Tripp’s perjury (at Clintons behest?).

The Clintons were paranoid to conceal this from the federal court.

I've said for years...If she wasn't married to Bubba, we'd all be going "Hillary who?"

And remember....she never took his name when they married...until doing so would be beneficial to him politically.

She would if there’s a larger plan in place to have Harris exit gracefully at some point.

It was wrong, period. But she wanted to preserve her election viability an being a divorced hag is worse than a married hag.

Maybe he saw that they were both rotten to the core and had lots of grasping ambition. Other than that, I’m not sure what either saw in each other. Love and family certainly wasn’t their goal

If you think Bill Clinton is Satan, you don't understand Satan.

A minion? Sure, I can buy that. But the Enemy taking on flesh? Bill Clinton isn't close to that on his worst day.
