Clinton Right Hand Woman Huma Abedin Takes the Stage at Center of Email Scandal

With the announcement Friday afternoon that the FBI was reopening their investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal, Clinton’s assistant Huma Abedin may face close scrutiny for the first time by the media.
As Breitbart News reported:

The New York Times reports that the F.B.I. obtained new Hillary Clinton emails after seizing electronic devices from Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin.

The F.B.I. began investigating Weiner after he sent lewd photos to a 15-year-old girl, after the girl shared text messages she received from Weiner with the Daily Mail.

The FBI announcement comes on the heels of a report yesterday by journalist Paul Sperry, who gave new details about Abedin’s role in the email scandal.

Protective detail assigned to guard former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her two residences complained that her closest aide Huma Abedin often overrode standard security protocols during trips to the Middle East, and personally changed procedures for handling classified information, including highly sensitive intelligence briefs the CIA prepared for the president, newly released FBI documents reveal.

The security agents, who were interviewed as witnesses in the FBI’s investigation of Clinton’s use of an unauthorized private email server to send classified information, complained that Abedin had unusual sway over security policies during Clinton’s 2009-2013 tenure at Foggy Bottom.

Abedin’s influence in these matters, including the revelation in Sperry’s article that “Abedin possessed much more power” over Clinton’s staff, schedule, and security than other former chiefs of staffs, is especially concerning given the links that Abedin has to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and to the Muslim World League, a group that Hillary Clinton herself said in 2009 was funding terrorism.

Crooked Comey

$1:

"Crooked Comey" is what we all ought to call the director of the FBI if yesterday's announcement that recently discovered new emails on Huma Abedin's computer has led the agency to more investigations means investigations that do not produce a comment or update until after the Americans vote for their president.

Indeed, because millions of Americans voted after Comey exonerated Hillary, the political corruption of the federal criminal justice system is already established. Indeed, because Comey made his announcement – surprise! – on a Friday, just as prior announcements that might hurt Hillary have been made by the FBI on Friday, the political corruption of the federal criminal justice system is already established.

All this would have been different if in July Comey simply declined to give any report before the election, which would have left Hillary dangling under the sword of Damocles, with Americans left guessing whether that sword would fall on her if she was elected president. Comey could have said in July what he seems to be saying now: that there is so much evidence of possible misconduct by Hillary and her flacks that no investigation can shift through the mess for many months, which would have protected the reputation of the FBI without pronouncing formally that Hillary is a crook.

Comey had other options. He could have asked a team of respected and retired FBI agents to review the evidence and confirm or repudiate his recommendations, which would have allowed the dignity of the agency to be protected by those who could not be fired or demoted for speaking their minds. Comey had lots of choices about how to handle what seems to most Americans who understand the law to be clear criminality by Hillary and her operatives. These options did not have to mean recommending prosecution before the election.

Instead, Comey has behaved precisely how one would have expected the bought and paid for police chief of a mob-controlled city to behave – he has provided political cover for Hillary by allowing every Democrat operative to parrot the message that the FBI has looked at everything and determined that nothing criminal occurred.

We will know very soon if Comey is simply inventing a dilatory ruse to drag a presumed "investigation" past the election so that in late November he can inform America that, well, darn it, I guess we just elected someone who may have committed a bunch of federal offenses, so we, the agency, did our job but just ran out of time. If that happens – and no one ought to put anything past these people – then no American ought to ever trust anything said by the FBI or the Department of Justice.

JAMES COMEY BROKE WITH LORETTA LYNCH AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TRADITION

He didn't drop the ball at all, it's his fudiciary duty to provide the information as he promised to the government. With new evidence/information/details he has to be clear that the investigation is re-opened. He stated before there was no chance of conviction based on what he had in July, he transparently address the House, as real democracies do. It appears to me Clinton should distance herself from Abedin at least until after the election and the investigation is completed.

Clinton still wins the election I predict, but if and when she wins, there will be a cloud above her for the first year or two. Quite frankly I would be more concerned about the far left Bernie supporters trying to hijack her party and turn America into Canada light, than I am of Clintons email issues.

This doesn't mean she doesn't have to follow the law and she will pay a big price for it, that's how real justice works. With the unpopularity and distrust of Americans of both candidates, this additional set of eyes and checks and balances; which is one of the reasons Americas democracy is so vibrant and impressive, might be a reasonable expectation. Neither candidate will get free reign while in office, of this you can be sure.

I will miss Obama, regardless of his imperfections.

Better know and have Clinton lose maybe twenty or thirty electoral votes than do it after the election and set the moonbat conspiracy shitheads off in a manner a million times worse than the 9/11 truthers/the Birthers/faked moonlanding/JFK/anti-vaxx all put together. Kind of a no-win scenario for the FBI. Damned if they do release, damned even more if they didn't. The only positive out of it would be to see Weiner kill himself in shame but there's not much evidence he has enough of the self-reflection and personal honour to do even that small a thing, not when there's so many mid-teens out there to send text pics to.

First of all, thanks for using a word I don't see used a lot... I had to go to Google to check the correct meaning. But at least get the spelling right, it's fiduciary.

His hands were tied. I suggest that there has to be serious information/evidence for him to take this unprecedented step.

I'm glad that's what you took from my post, my apologies. Kudos to you being so astute.

"Small a thing"? The appropriate penalty for texting pictures of ones dick is death? It's a strange proclivity, sure, but kill himself? C'mon, man, how about some proportionality? Or should I hang myself to win back some personal honour for all the moons I've hung in my lifetime?

Romans used to fall on their own swords for less. He's permanently embarrassed and disgraced both his wife and children, which is bad enough. Keep that in mind that those e-mails, even if they're just copies or mundane office business nonsense, could be enough to shift enough of the votes of those who already distrust Clinton to Trump. This small ridiculous man with a masturbation/exposure fetish could end up putting the biggest clod in American electoral history into the White House. Weiner and his lack of self control could be the smallest but most important cog that succeeds in wrecking the world.

Huma is like the lawyer for a crime family, she only knows so much before she's asked to leave the room to protect her when other matters are discussed.

In fact...

Remember how Hillary was +6 before the last debate?

Here's what today's tracking polls say:

Latest Polls: ABC/WP: Clinton +1 | LA Times: Trump +2 | IBD/TIPP: Clinton +2

A slim point separates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll results, cementing Trump’s resurgence in the past week and marking the potentially critical role of turnout in the election’s outcome.

So you agree that Slick Willy should have been shot, drawn and quartered decades ago.

But now you want him back in the White House.
