OK Huma Abedin will sink Hillary's campaign

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Why? You know why. That's all I'm going to say at this stage.

[jillan]

1. Isn't she supposed to testify about those

Classified emails soon?

[yourpaljoey]

2. Please explain

[Beaverhausen]

3. What?

Please elaborate.

[Merryland]

4. Please share if you know more - I won't tell anyone...

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. You lost me.

I guess I'm not following the server thing as closely as I should. OR the Cash to the Clinton Foundation for favors investigations?

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[HooptieWagon]

10. Foundation pay to play.

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. Okay.

I hope Rosa is right.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[HoosierRadical]

19. I fear the GOP is waiting until Hillary somehow secures the nomination

to bring all that stuff out, by than it will be too late and the party will go down in flames.

[HooptieWagon]

22. I don't think the GOP has anything to do with it.

The State Dept is investigating Clinton and the Foundation to see if there was ethics violations. AFAIK there's no Republican connection.

[CoffeeCat]

28. I wonder if there are some Democrats

Who would like to see Clinton go down.

The NYT reported that hardly anyone at State knew that Clinton had a private server.

I bet that pissed off a lot of important people.

[jfern]

50. There's a lot going on

The Obama administration State Dept. is investigating her
The Obama administration FBI is investigating her
A Clinton appointee judge ruled that her aides have to testify.

It's all a right-wing conspiracy!!!!!

[tk2kewl]

17. not Henry Danger?

[Fawke Em]

43. Carlos Danger, innit?

[tk2kewl]

45. oh right... whose henry danger?

i think he's a character in one of my son's tv programs or something

[restorefreedom]

48. did someone say danger?

https://m.

[merrily]

52. As soon as I saw the subject line, I knew what I was going to see if I clicked.

That's why I clicked!

[restorefreedom]

59. lol. i still wish he could have taken over TDS.nothing against trevor noah,

but that summer with jon oliver was awesome!

[merrily]

61. Oliver is gifted. Comedy Central should have made a move.

[restorefreedom]

62. yup. nt

[Rebkeh]

55. Lol

Literally lolling here. Good one

[restorefreedom]

60. there is never a bad time for jon oliver or carlos danger! nt

[jeff47]

6. Do you have anything other than the minion most likely to be the first thrown to the wolves

if the shit hits the fan about emails or Clinton Foundation donations?

[malletgirl02]

49. I think it will be IT guy

I think the first minion to be thrown to the wolves will th the IT guy who set up the server for Clinton.

[jeff47]

8. Honestly, I don't think anyone who'd vote for a Democrat would care.

The right-wing fundies would be in a tizzy, but they'd never vote for a Democrat anyway.

[yourpaljoey]

9. I am quite certain you are wrong

[merrily]

53. Post hidden for daring to imagine something unspecified.

/

[Beaverhausen]

64. Unspecified ?

That post mentioned a possible romantic relationship between Hillary and Huma. That is something the right wing has been whispering about for years.

Do you really want to go there?

[merrily]

65. *I* did? Can you give me the number of the post where I did that?

[HooptieWagon]

11. Clinton Foundation.

[KoKo]

66. I've thought that would be where the biggest exposure will come from.

I think the Foundations dealings overlapping with Hillary's term with State Department have concerned some insiders who worry about the Dem Party's integrity going forward. Add in the Republicans, who have their own objectives, and there may be pressure enough to expose the overlaps of Foundation and Hillary's contacts in State and outside with foreign governments.

But..."Concern" doesn't necessarily mean action when Trump as an alternative hangs over the national election for Democrats.

I've also wondered if the PTB are putting a lid on any Clinton revelations until the end of March Primaries to see if Bernie can hold up and go on to the final election with some strength. If he can't, then Dems/Obama Admin. will be pressured to not reveal anything and it will be left up to the Repubs/Trump, if he prevails, to go after Clinton Foundation dealings. If Trump manages to implode (doesn't seem likely, at this point) then who knows what could happen.

[agracie]

12. New to this group...

...not sure what I'm allowed to say.

[sarge43]

16. This isn't Camp Weathervane

We don't have melt downs about honest criticism, if that's what concerns you.

Welcome and feel the Bern.

[Kittycat]

29. Lol.

It's like the heathers. Eventually, they take out their own.

[agracie]

34. OK. But I see Merryland's post got hidden...

[sarge43]

36. Hidden by whom.

Was it a jury hit?

[agracie]

39. Yes. It's ⬆️

[sarge43]

42. If she posted in GD-P, then the HRC swarm are probably responsible

In a protected group like this or theirs, shouldn't happen.

In short, check the forum/group first before posting. Here: Safe. General discussion or GD-P: All bets are off. Camp Weathervane: Unless you bow to She Who Must Be Obeyed, they won't bother to alert, you'll be blocked. Then, you can come back here and get your badge of honor.

[agracie]

44. Merryland posted at 5:21pm in this thread.

[sarge43]

46. Then I don't know. Tempers were on high last night and today.

So perhaps it was one of those "take a deep breath before hitting Post" messages. The one we've all written, posted then wished we hadn't.

A jury hidden message can be read. So maybe reading it might clarify.

[agracie]

41. Thank you !

[Rosa Luxemburg]

33. Welcome!

[agracie]

40. Thank you !

[MissDeeds]

14. Vanity Fair had a very interesting article

about her in January. It might be available online.

[bernbabe]

15. Maybe it has to do with this:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/18/the-truth-about-huma-abedin-that-media-matters-doesnt-want-america-to-see/

[arcane1]

18. Can we not post from fucking Breitbart here? If the story is valid, find a valid source.

Go somewhere else with that right-wing shit!

[bernbabe]

24. The sources they use

are valid sources. Did you read it? Do you expect a liberal source to talk about it?

[arcane1]

25. Then post from the actual source and stop giving rightwing middle-men more money:

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/01/huma-abedin-hillary-clinton-adviser

[bernbabe]

27. Truth is

I had never even heard of "breitbart" before reading that. I also have no idea if there is any "there" there.

[Bad Bad JuJu]

20. Sooner or later it's glub, glub, glub.

The ship U.S.S. Clinton is afloat in a sea of turds. Something, or someone, will sink it, sooner or later. The sooner the better for us all.

[wilsonbooks]

21. I would love to know what President Obama and Bernie discussed

when they met Jan. 27th.

[HooptieWagon]

23. Sanders had a block on Obama's FDA appointment.

My guess is it was about that, mostly.

[Fawke Em]

26. That and secret service protection.

Bernie got that right after.

[HereSince1628]

31. The mtg also followed the "almost" an endorsement of HRC by Obama

I suspect it may have touched on multiple things, including assurances by Obama that no endorsement was made despite comments by his not so long former press sec.

[CoffeeCat]

32. That meeting is quite the mystery

The meeting was two days before the Iowa Caucus. Sanders was pulled off the campaign trail.

The line was that this was a foreign-policy discussion. Maybe. Seems odd that Sanders, a Dem primary candidate, would schedule a meeting in DC two days before a primary contest.

Interest that they didn't just schedule a call. Their meeting was very public, involving the media.

Perhaps their meeting was a signal to someone?

Of course, I have no idea. It's interesting to think out loud because there is some mystery surrounding that meeting.

[BillZBubb]

30. No, frankly I don't know why.

Wasn't she the contact person for Hillary and donors to the Clinton Foundation. She probably knows things, some of which might (and I emphasize might) be harmful to Clinton.

I'm not sure what her motivation would be to "sink" Hillary's campaign. Is the FBI grilling her?

[bernbabe]

35. She is Hillary's

"right hand woman". Unless the relationship soured for some reason, and there has been no news of that, then she would not voluntarily say anything to hurt Hillary.

[Cleita]

37. Does this have anything to do with weenie wagging?eom

[hollowdweller]

38. I don't know if she will hurt it or not.

I've always sort of thought she was a real asset. Would make a great SOS with more experience.

My only concern about her is if Trump is the candidate he will make a big deal about her being a Muslim, her family being way more into Islam than the average muslim, and their ties to other Muslim orgainizations.

That he will sort of cast her as the ears of Isis being right next to the president, and try to make that stick.

Also as the VF article mentioned the Clinton organization sort of went out on a limb to make sure she was living in comfort after her husband lost his income which sort of puts a slight taint of the whole Clinton organization on an otherwise pretty clean person.

By far the most dangerous thing in the current climate I think is the fact that she's a Muslim from a very Muslim family, who will be very close to the president, and then when you read the emails it's almost like Hillary totally depends on her, and everything has to go thru her Muslim aide to get to her.

Which I don't care about. I'd probably vote for Aberdin over Clinton but I can see the Trump people making incredible hay with her.

[radical noodle]

47. When the second sentence in the article is

"But with a powerful Republican senator raising questions about her role in the Clinton-era State Department, Abedin finds herself the latest victim of the Stop Hillary movement."

I have to wonder what the point of this is. I also recall some Republicans making all sorts of accusations about Huma some time ago... like since she has a funny name she is suspect.

It sounds like another Republican hit job, but that's what seems to make everyone happy here these days.

[merrily]

51. For the love of heaven, something needs to sink it.

[tularetom]

54. Not to worry, something is definitely going to sink it

The disturbing question is when.

The republicans of course are sitting on a mountain of incriminating stuff, much of which is already available in the public record, but our liberal media is too lazy (or intimidated) to dig it out.

It is not to their advantage to scuttle Clinton's campaign right now, but rather to wait until the Democratic party is so committed to her that her destruction would virtually end all chance of the WH remaining in Democratic hands.

There are probably a lot of republican pundits, consultants, and other assorted hangers on who are all but peeing their pants at the prospect of dropping all this stuff on her, but they are being held in check (by somebody) until its too late to switch to Bernie or even some other Plan B.

They need to be put in a position of dropping the various bombshells now, so there is still time for the Democrats to change direction.

56. Weiner's wife failed to disclose consulting work done while a state dept aide

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/17/nyregion/weiners-wife-huma-abedin-failed-to-disclose-consulting-work-done-while-a-state-dept-aide.html

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department.

Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income.

[yourpaljoey]

57. This is something that should come up again and again and again

We need to hear the whole story

[antigop]

58. How Huma Abedin operated at the center of the Clinton universe

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-huma-abedin-operated-at-the-center-of-the-clinton-universe/2015/08/27/cd099eee-4b32-11e5-902f-39e9219e574b_story.html

As Hillary Rodham Clinton was preparing for her farewell international trip as secretary of state, her close aide and confidante Huma Abedin e-mailed a small number of longtime political allies to help arrange an intimate get-together at a private club in Dublin.

“Maybe we can all gather for drinks/dinner and HRC can come join for as long as she can?” Abedin wrote.

The December 2012 event showcased the unique position that Abedin occupied at the apex of the Clintons’ public and private worlds during the final six months of Hillary Clinton’s tenure heading the State Department.

At the time, Abedin held four jobs with four different employers — an arrangement allowed by a special government designation she held permitting outside employment. And each job had a connection to the Dublin dinner.

63. Huma Abedin Clinton's SOS deputy. email 'Hillary is often confused

Hillary Clinton needed hand-holding with her daily schedule and was 'often confused' while she was secretary of state, her former top aide and 'body woman' Huma Adebin wrote a colleague in a January 2013 email.

The message, to coworker Monica Hanley, followed a back-and-forth about Clinton's schedule of calls with foreign leaders, including an 8:00 a.m. appointment to speak with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

'Have you been going over calls with her for tomorrow? So she knows singh [sic] ls at 8?' Abedin asked Hanley just before 5:00 p.m. on a Saturday.

'She was in bed for a nap by the time I heard that she had an 8am call,' Hanley replied three minutes later. 'Will go over with her.'
'Very imp[ortant] to do that. She's often confused,' Abedin told her.


fter the deadly terror attacks in Benghazi, Libya.
Clinton missed a meeting at the White House for President Obama's daily national security briefing because she overslept.

Hanley emailed Clinton at 9:17 that morning to let her know that White House Senior Adviser Dan Pfeiffer' had 'some sensitive items that he would like to personally show you when he arrives.'

Clinton didn't reply until 10:43, hearly an hour and a half later.

'[J]ust woke up,' she told Hanley, 'so i [sic] missed Dan. Could he come back after I finish my calls?'
