Huma Abedin is Going to be a Recurring Person of Interest of Trey Gowdy's Witch Hunt in the Near Future

They have been fixated on her for awhile and by no means does it hurt that she's a Muslim. As we noted earlier, the media may object when Jeb Bush's outsider rivals bait Muslims but they aren't above doing it themselves when it applies to Ms. Abedin for who I'm afraid Gowdy and his Betlway lapdogs want to make it hot.

The leads for Gowdy's attacks on Hillary-he is literally running oppo research for Jeb-or possibly Rubio-from his House investigation machinery and the media is helping him by dutifully printing and accepting everything he comes up with complete credulity; the DOJ ha stated Hillary did nothing wrong as has State; the FBI is refusing to release Hillary's personal emails that legally are none of Gowdy and the Beltway press' business.

So all kinds of attempts are being made to make Abedin suspicious-some how. But then Muslims are suspicious aren't they? Mable she's with ISIS or maybe the KGB as Politico seemed to suggest in teh article linked to above.

Then again, she is the wife of Anthony Weiner which probably is a bonus in terms of a target in Gowdy and his buddies minds.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was directly involved in arranging a new government position for a top aide that allowed the aide to begin working for a private consulting firm while remaining at the State Department, according to documents released on Thursday.

"The documents, released by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, show that Mrs. Clinton personally signed forms establishing a new title and position for the aide, Huma Abedin, in March 2012. The forms were part of a broader process in which Ms. Abedin, then Mrs. Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, was transitioning to a role as a “special government employee,” which allowed her to collect salaries from the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and the private firm, Teneo, which was co-founded by a former aide to President Clinton."

"A few months later, Ms. Abedin began working at Teneo. Politico first reportedon the newly released document."

Notice how the writer, Nicholas Confessore, makes it sound like this is established fact based on Judicial Watch a Right wing legal group with a clear interest in destroying Hillary's campaign. Yet, as usual while Carolyn Ryan of the NY Times doesn't trust the Clintons anything from Hillary's enemies is just presumed to be the truth and nothing but the truth.

"A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton declined to comment on the newly released document. Mrs. Clinton’s aides have defended the arrangement as appropriate and within State Department rules, but have declined to describe what role Mrs. Clinton may have played in authorizing or signing off on Ms. Abedin’s outside work."

Now this is kind of a glaring omission as this post is being this definitive: Hillary definitely was directly involved' and yet Mr. Confessore thinks it unimportant to even tell us what the State Department rules are.

Probably because whatever the arrangement was is within State Department rules and admitting this would cut his bombshell off right at the knees.

As usual just deal in half truths, rumors from Gowdy-Jeb Bush's MVP-and the word of well-heeled ideological Right wing operatives over at Judicial Watch and Citizen United.

Pile up innuendo on top of innuendo and then say Sure we have no facts but this just doesn't pass the smell test. How can Americans trust someone with so many questions?

Again, this is the thin gruel that the Koch Brothers are going to throw their money into and thereby win this race for Jeb-or possibly Rubio. Jeb is still the choice but Rubio could be an acceptable backup where they can use his race to argue that Latinos should trust him just because he's Latino.
