How Did Huma Abedin or Hillary Clinton Get a "Top Secret" Security Rating from the US Government??

ELECTION DAY MINUS 8. What you need to know now about the new 'Hillary' emails. • • • The world was shocked on Friday when it learned that FBI Director James Comey wrote to Congress that the Hillary Clinton email server investigation is still open. One person was not surprised -- Donald Trump. In August 2015, Trump warned of Clinton-Abedin-Weiner security risks. Then earlier this year, in a tweet, Trump said : "Huma Abedin was wise to separate from her husband and her marriage to Weiner posed a national security risk." In a later statement, Trump warned : "Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him. I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It's just another example of Hillary Clinton's bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this." • • • COMEY'S NEWS WAS STARK. Fox News gave a brief breaking News alert on Friday : “The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while Secretary of State, in a stunning turn of events just days before the presidential election. FBI Director James Comey wrote in a letter to top members of Congress Friday that the bureau has ‘learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.’ Comey did not detail those emails, saying only that they surfaced ‘in connection with an unrelated case’…He said the FBI could not yet assess whether the new material is significant and he could not predict how long it will take to complete ‘this additional work.’ Fox News reported that, according to a source connected to the Clinton campaign who spoke to law enforcement, the FBI has four devices -- one belongs to Abedin, and at least one belongs to Weiner. So far, no classified information has been found on the devices. The move comes after Comey and the Justice Department decided in July not to pursue charges over Clinton's email practices.” • • • COMEY REJECTED DOJ ADVICE. TheHill's Harper Neidig reported Saturday that FBI Director James Comey "went against the wishes of Attorney General Loretta Lynch" when he sent a letter to lawmakers Friday notifying them that the agency was reviewing new emails “pertinent” to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. An unnamed government official told TheHill that the Justice Department’s position was to abstain from taking any actions that could impact the presidential race : “The AG’s position is consistent with the department’s position not to take investigative steps that would influence an election so close to an election and to not comment on ongoing investigations. Director Comey decided to operate independently of that guidance by sending that letter to the Hill.” The unnamed official said that while Lynch and Comey did not discuss the matter directly, “the position of the department was made clear to the FBI.” It is DOJ policy to avoid interferring in presidential elections. A 2012 memo from former Attorney General Eric Holder stated : “Law enforcement officers and prosecutors may never select the timing of investigative steps or criminal charges for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party. Such a purpose is inconsistent with the Department's mission and with the Principles of Federal Prosecution.” Comey wrote an internal note to FBI staffers before sending his letter to Congress : “Of course, we don’t ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I also think it would be misleading to the American people were we not to supplement the record." • • • WAS THERE A PALACE COUP AT THE FBI. • • • Washington DC super-lawyer attorney, and former US Attorney, Joe DiGenova said on The David Webb Show on SiriusXM Friday night that despite the FBI agreeing to destroy the laptops of Clinton aide Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson as part of immunity deals made during the initial investigation of Clinton’s email server, agents involved in the case refused to destroy the laptops : “According to the agreement reached with the attorneys who handed over their laptops, the laptops were to be destroyed per the agreement after the testimony was given -- the interviews were given -- by the attorneys. The bureau and the department agreed to that,” DiGenova said. “However the laptops contrary to published reports were not destroyed and the reason is the agents who are tasked with destroying them refused to do so. And by the way the laptops are at the FBI for inspection by Congress or federal courts.” DiGenova said the laptops have already been subpoenaed and the FBI is waiting for Congress to ask for them. • • • HILLARY CRIES "BE FAIR." Hillary & Hacks are 'outraged' that the FBI sent the letter to Congress and are demanding that the FBI "show the cards it is holding to be fair to the American electorate." Fair??? To the American electorate??? It was Hillary Clinton herself who refused to release her emails, deleted 33,000 emails in a one-person decision about whether they were "work-related" or not -- thousands of the deleted emails have since been proven to be "work-related," that is, shown to be property of the US government and not of Hillary Clinton, despite her hiding them on an unsecured secret server and then deleting heaven only knows how many that would have personally incriminated her. It is the finding of more such emails that undoubtedly caused the FBI to renew its investigation. Hillary, who used sophisticated technology to delete the emails and then BleachBit them into destruction, who lied about sending and receiving classified material, and lied about turning all her material over, who conspired to delete and hide material from the American electorate, who displayed, as Comey so delicately put it, "extreme carelessness" with American national secrets and security. It is that Hillary Clinton who now cries "BE FAIR." • • • PRESIDENTIAL? -- NOT HILLARY. Her only accomplishment as Senator, Secretary of State, and Bill Clinton's wife has been to escape prosecution multiple times. We do not know what the FBI has found, but it must be more damning than just recovering some missing emails to warrant reopening her investigation. Director Comey risked condemnation for playing politics before the election, but he chose to risk that rather than be damned forever for participating in a cover-up, so we may assume that he has something that could lead to a criminal indictment -- either of Hillary the Candidate (not likely given the short time left in the campaign period) or of Hillary the President (a national disaster). That several unnamed sources say the emails came from devices used by Hillary's top aide and confidante Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, disgraced former Democrat House member Anthony Weiner (of the sexting scandal) indicates how extreme Hillary's carelessness was if she transmitted to, or received classified material from, Huma and Weiner. Exposing national secrets in this way should disqualify her from the presidency and even from being a candidate. In this sense, Trump is right when he claims that the system is rigged. It is rigged by a media obsessed with his locker-room tape and alleged groping rather than with Hillary's career of lies and deception being once again shown to have endangered American security in the past and to expose her, if elected, to blackmail as President. • • • HUMA ABEDIN AND THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD. Huma Abedin's association with Hillary Clinton has been profitable, even as it endangered America's national security interests. Investor's Business daily found : "Abedin made $135,000 a year as Clinton's deputy, a period in which she is reported to have raked in as much as $355,000 from consulting contracts. Having a pipeline into the Clinton inner circle is invaluable to some. This reminds us of Johnny Chung's famous comparison of the Clinton White House to a subway turn style -- you had to put money in to gain entry..." • Abedin's family connections are truly troubling. Her father is said to be close with the Saudi government's Moslem World League, and her mother is said to be a member of the Moslem Sisterhood. World Trade Center bombing prosecutor Andrew McCarthy wrote in National Review : "The ties of Ms. Abedin's father, mother and brother to the Moslem Brotherhood are both specific and substantiated." The Moslem Brotherhood took power in Egypt with Obama administration approval after Obama abandoned the government of Hosni Mubarak, a long-time ally and friend. It was while Abedin was advising Hillary that State dropped its long-standing policy of having no dealings with the Moslem Brotherhood. As Andrew McCarthy wrote in National Review, Huma Abedin's family and work history "suggest a devotion to islamic supremacist ideology" that may contribute much to explaining the imploding US Middle East policy from Baghdad to Egypt : "Ms. Abedin worked for many years at a journal that promotes Islamic-supremacist ideology and that was founded by a top al-Qaeda financier, Abdullah Omar Naseef. Naseef ran the Rabita Trust, a formally designated foreign terrorist organization under American law. Ms. Abedin and Naseef overlapped at the Journal of Moslem Minority Affairs for at least seven years. Throughout that time (1996–2003), Ms. Abdein worked for Hillary Clinton in various capacities." The consulting firm Abedin worked for simultaneously was Tenco Strategies, founded by longtime Bill Clinton aide Douglas Band. Bill Clinton initially serving on its board. Abedin allegedly sent some 7,000 emails on her government account that involved Band, now famous for his recently unearthed memo about "Bill Clinton, Inc." That memo (reviewed last week in our blog) showed how Bill Clinton enriched himself as part of the Clinton Foundation's pay-to-play schemes. Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) questioned Abedin's 2013 designation as an SGE -- "special government employee" -- which is a government designation for those who fill "an unmet government need for rare or unique expertise, while allowing individuals to retain their private-sector positions." Grassley was right to worry. Abedin's "expertise" and her simultaneous employment by three employers put her in a unique position to influence and to peddle influence. The Washington Examiner reported the content of a letter Grassley wrote to Abedin during his inquiry : "The Committee has learned of allegations that, during your simultaneous employment by the Department of State, Teneo, and the Clinton Foundation, you were solicited for and delivered favors for preferred individuals." Abedin was one of several key aides to Hillary Clinton who had email accounts on Hillary's private server in the Clinton New York home in violation of federal records laws. • • • POLITICAL REACTION TO THE EMAILS. • REPUBLICANS. Speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement that Clinton had “nobody but herself to blame” and called for her classified briefings as a presidential candidate to be suspended. Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said the “stunning development raises serious questions about what records may not have been turned over and why.” Representative Pete King (R-N.Y.) told MSNBC that the situation was “totally unprecedented.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said in a statement : “The FBI’s decision to reopen its investigation into Secretary Clinton reinforces what the House Judiciary Committee has been saying for months : the more we learn about Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server, the clearer it becomes that she and her associates committed wrongdoing and jeopardized national security." Donald Trump used the news to reinforce his case that Clinton is culpable of “corruption...on a scale we have never seen before.” When the GOP nominee told a crowd at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, about the breaking news, he was almost drowned out by cheers. Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, tweeted that “a great day for our campaign just got better.” • DEMOCRATS. By contrast, Democrats sought to stave off questions on the issue. Hillary's campaign chairman, John Podesta, issued a statement that took aim at Trump and the GOP for “baselessly second-guessing the FBI.” Podesta also asserted that it was “extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election.” Clinton’s running mate, Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.), told a reporter who asked about the new probe that he would have to “read a little more” before he could offer a comment. Donna Brazile, the interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, tweeted “Good grief.” Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, called Comey’s move “appalling” : “Without knowing how many emails are involved, who wrote them, when they were written or their subject matter, it’s impossible to make any informed judgment on this development,” Feinstein said in a statement Friday. “However, one thing is clear : Director Comey’s announcement played right into the political campaign of Donald Trump, who is already using the letter for political purposes. And all of this just 11 days before the election.” Supporters have been buoyed by Hillary's lead in the polls and the fact that there were no big events expected before November 8 that could knock her off course. “I'm livid, actually,” one Clinton surrogate told TheHill. “This has turned into malpractice. It's an unforced error at this point. I have no idea what Comey is up to but the idea this email issue is popping back up again is outrageous. It never should have occurred in the first place. Someone somewhere should have told her "no." And they didn't and now we're all paying the price.” Another ally called the campaign’s mood something akin to “paralysis,” and blamed Weiner’s behavior for railroading the campaign. One strategist said the developments would further cement the notion that Clinton has something to hide : “It’s made people think there’s always going to be something around the Clintons, some investigation, some inquiry. It never goes away.” One longtime Clinton adviser said : “In the short term at least, this does provide Republicans with something they can all hang their hat on, at a time when they've been fighting with each other so much -- so that can have a salutary effect by shoring up the GOP base and distract from the daily drama around Trump himself.” Democratic strategist Steve McMahon : “It is extraordinary for the FBI director to do this 11 days before the election.” It violates the Justice Department’s rules about engaging in investigations in a way that might impact our democracy. It is extraordinary and very, very surprising.” • • • Dear readers, what the Democrat leadership refuses to say is that Hillary Clinton made a career-ending error when she started down the road of using a secret unsecured email server in order to hide her actions from the State Department and the American public. She compounded that career-ending error by destroying emails that were very likely evidence of criminal activities. Then she lied to Congress, the FBI and the American people about her illegal acts. These new emails simply reinforce the opinion most Americans have of Hillary Clinton -- that she is an untrustworthy liar who should be in prison, not the White House. But these new emails raise two more critically important questions. First, why did Huma Abedin not turn over to the FBI this laptop when she turned over other electronic devices. And if some (most likely all) of these emails were sent through Hillary's secret server, why did Hillary and her lawyers delete them or hide them from the State Department and the FBI? Could it be that this latest trove of emails is the 'lost' 33,000 emails that Hillary said she 'erased'??? Second -- HOW IN THE WORLD DID HUMA ABEDIN, a person with personal and family connections to the Moslem Brotherhood and to a US-designated terrorist entity, get a TOP SECRET or any other security clearance from the US government. For that matter, how did Hillary Clinton, Abedin's employer, get any security clearance??? There is Obama-related malfeasance in office here. Will anyone ferret it out???
