    Huma Abedin handled classified data on computer shared with Anthony Weiner

    Huma Abedin handled classified data on computer shared with Anthony Weiner



    By Ben Wolfgang and Andrea Noble - The Washington Times - Tuesday, November 1, 2016

    Emails released by the State Department over the past 18 months show that Huma Abedin frequently handled classified information — suggesting a major reason why the FBI has been eager to get a full look at the personal computer she shared with her now-estranged husband.

    That computer has become the center of a major political flap in the final week before Election Day. Ms. Abedin’s boss, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is trying to fend off concerns that there is a smoking gun still to be found among her top personal aide’s messages.

    But the track record indicates a reason for concern: Of the messages Mrs. Clinton turned over to the State Department, nearly 5,000 were sent to, or received from, Ms. Abedin. More than 180 of those contain information now determined to be “confidential,” and one message is deemed to contain “secret” information.

    In the “secret” message, Ms. Abedin forwards to Mrs. Clinton information about a 2009 ballistic missile test by North Korea.

    “It is frankly remarkable that the FBI and Justice Department are only now investigating Abedin’s connection to Clinton’s mishandling of classified information,” said Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog group Judicial Watch, which has sued to try to get to the bottom of the Clinton-Abedin connection at the State Department.

    The FBI has renewed its probe into Mrs. Clinton’s handling of classified emails based on what it might find on Ms. Abedin’s computer, obtained in a separate investigation into Ms. Abedin’s estranged husband, former Rep. Anthony D. Weiner.

    The Weiner investigation is the latest involving the Clintons and those in their circle. It joins a reported investigation earlier this year into the Clinton Foundation; another into campaign donations to Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a longtime fundraiser and political ally; and the renewed look at Mrs. Clinton’s handling of classified information.
    Whether anything on the Abedin-Weiner computer is relevant to the investigation into Mrs. Clinton, which the FBI closed in July, is heatedly debated.

    Mrs. Clinton’s team insists there is nothing to be found, and they have excoriated FBI Director James B. Comey for publicly announcing less than two weeks before an election that he is looking at the new emails.

    Ms. Abedin’s attorneys say the longtime Clinton aide — who is virtually guaranteed to get an influential White House post if Mrs. Clinton defeats Republican Donald Trump on Election Day — was wholly unaware that any of her messages were on Mr. Weiner’s computer.

    “From the beginning, Ms. Abedin has complied fully and voluntarily with State Department and law enforcement requests, including sitting for hours-long interviews and providing her work-related and potentially work-related documents,” her attorney, Karen Dunn, said in a statement Monday night. “She only learned for the first time on Friday, from press reports, of the possibility that a laptop belonging to Mr. Weiner could contain emails of hers.”

    She said Ms. Abedin will be “forthcoming and cooperative” with the latest FBI investigation, which surely will drag past the election.

    Mrs. Clinton briefly addressed the controversy on Monday by acknowledging that voters had questions about the FBI inquiry, But during an appearance in the battleground state of Florida on Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton dropped all references to the investigation and instead slammed Mr. Trump’s past statements about women.
    “Some of what we’ve learned, some of this stuff is very upsetting,” she said before reciting some of Mr. Trump’s most inflammatory comments.

    Mr. Trump and fellow Republicans, meanwhile, have tried to keep attention focused on the FBI’s renewed probe, saying it shows voters what to expect if Mrs. Clinton wins the White House.

    Indeed, the Clinton family and its allies have faced an extraordinary number of investigations over their quarter-century in Washington.

    “There’s an interesting circumstantial case to be made how much smoke there has been surrounding the Clintons over the years,” said Chris Jenks, a law professor at Southern Methodist University and a former attorney adviser at the State Department.

    In addition to the investigation of Mr. Weiner, whose sex-related text messages may have been sent to a juvenile, the FBI also reportedly pushed this year to open public corruption probes of the Clinton Foundation, citing concern about rewarding donors with special political access and favors.

    The Justice Department, which last year found insufficient evidence to open a case, declined to investigate, CNN reported.

    “We are not aware of any investigation into the Foundation by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any United States Attorney’s Office and we have not received a subpoena from any of those agencies,” the Clinton Foundation said in a statement.

    But the difference of opinion between FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors roiled investigators, according to The Wall Street Journal, which this week reported that agents from the FBI’s New York field office continued to pursue a case until at least as recently as August. That month, a senior Justice Department official called Andrew McCabe, the bureau’s second in command, “to voice his displeasure at finding that New York FBI agents were still openly pursuing the Clinton Foundation probe during the election season,” The Journal reports.

    News also leaked this year that the FBI was investigating Mr. McAuliffe, who in addition to being a political ally also served as a board member of the Clinton Global Initiative, an endeavor of the family’s charitable foundation.

    News reports from May indicated that the investigation involved $120,000 worth of donations made to Mr. McAuliffe’s 2013 campaign by Chinese businessman Wang Wenliang. Mr. Wang’s companies also donated $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, and investigators were reportedly probing the legality of the campaign contributions.

    When news of the probe leaked in May, Mr. McAuliffe said he had “no personal relationship” with Mr. Wang and that a team of lawyers vetted his campaign donations, finding that Mr. Wang had held a green card since 2007, making him eligible to donate.

    The Washington Post reported this week that federal investigators have also been looking into Mr. McAuliffe’s time on the board of the foundation.

    Analysts say the sheer number of investigations surrounding Mrs. Clinton will raise questions in the minds of voters. Because those investigations are likely to continue into next year, they could dog Mrs. Clinton if she wins the White House.

    Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Utah Republican and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has already said there is plenty of room for investigations.

    Mr. Jenks, the SMU professor, said that could immediately strain relations between Congress and Mrs. Clinton and her staff.

    “It’s going to be painful,” he said.

    Occam's Weiner

    by Mark Steyn
    Steyn on America
    October 31, 2016


    Here comes the groom, again


    Happy Halloweiner, the night when Anthony Weiner's undead penis rises from its grave to bite Hillary's campaign. The stroking dead is apparently impervious to silver bullets or garlic, and unlike vampires it does show up in photographs, on cell phones across the globe.

    So in the final week of the campaign the plot twists arrange themselves in a remarkably straightforward manner. The FBI is investigating the Clinton Foundation - because it's a criminal enterprise: if you give a million bucks to the the Clintons' charity, sixty grand goes to charity and the remaining 940,000 goes to fund the lifestyles of Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and their various malodorous associates - Sid Blumenthal, Terry McAuliffe, etc.

    For four years, however, those donations also bought you access to the US Secretary of State. That's why Mrs Clinton and her coterie - Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and the other supposed "government employees" - determined to use a private server. Because the pay-for-play was so unsubtle you couldn't have it sitting on State Department emails destined for the National Archives.

    We now learn that the FBI are looking into 650,000 emails discovered on Anthony Weiner's laptop, a machine Huma Abedin has told friends she never used - as you wouldn't, if your spouse had the habits Mr Weiner has. 650,000 emails is at least 20 times the number Mrs Clinton originally turned over to the government - or approximately a thousand emails per day for two years, so Weiner would have to be sexting his spambot penis to an underage girl every minute-and-a-half to rack up that total. Which would be impressive even for him. Instead, the metadata indicates that thousands and thousands of those emails were sent either to or from Mrs Clinton's private server. And she seems unlikely to be that interested in Anthony Weiner's penis.

    So what are they?

    Consider how total has been the former congressman's fall in the five years since his legislative branch first raised its ugly head:

    In 2011, he was a man of power: an influential seven-term member of the House of Representatives.

    By 2013, he was a man intent on returning to power: a candidate for the New York mayoral race.
    By 2015, he was a man excluded from power himself but with proximity to power: the spouse of the closest confidante of the soon-to-be most powerful woman in the world.

    By August 2016, he was a man removed even from proximity to power: after the publication of photographs he'd sexted showing himself with an erection while in bed with their infant child, Huma dumped him. The last time I saw him he was sitting opposite me on a Fox Business show: he was just another schlub shooting the breeze with cable-news Z-list losers like Steyn.

    But it got worse. A month later, he was a man under investigation for the one sexual predilection to which even Democrats still attach some stigma: The Daily Mail in London (because it would be unreasonable to expect Mrs Clinton's court eunuchs in the American media to note such things) reported that he had been sexting with a 15-year-old girl.

    Huma and Weiner are so close to the Clintons that they were (see picture above) married by Bill. To the casual observer, Mr Weiner was merely the Mini-Me to Bill Clinton's distinguishing characteristics. Alas, he lacked the Clintons' luck, and never enjoyed the same level of protection. It's not unreasonable to conclude that, somewhere in the latter stages of this bumpy half-decade descent, Anthony Weiner decided it might be prudent to have an insurance policy. Powerline's John Hinderaker applies Occam's razor:
    His career is over, and he is a laughingstock. His wife, on the other hand, is just one degree of separation from great power, perhaps the next president. Do the math. And Weiner has had a lot of time on his hands lately. He may have thought that keeping a trove of communications between his wife and Hillary Clinton would afford him protection against criminal prosecution. Or he may have said to himself, if I am going down, I am taking Huma and her g*****n boss with me. Of course, that only works if he thinks there is something discreditable in those communications. He would know that better than we do.

    Weiner is an ambitious man with apparently insatiable sexual proclivities. Until 2013 he thought those two primal drives were reconcilable. The sex cost him his ambition - and is now threatening his liberty. He has very little standing between him and the abyss - other than what he knows about his wife and her patrons.

    And that's the least worst interpretation. The other is that, given the world knew Huma Abedin's husband has a taste for girls a third of his age, someone sooner or later was going to apply a little pressure to him. Maybe even those Russians the Democrats have been bleating on about for weeks.
    Most of the media and political class were content to regard Weiner as a laughingstock. One who wasn't was Donald Trump. July 27th 2016:
    I don't like Huma going home at night and telling Anthony Weiner all kinds of secrets.

    August 29th 2016:
    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.

    All too characteristically of Hillary's court eunuchs, The Los Angeles Times sneered that Trump was "trolling" Clinton. Ask not for whom the Trump trolls, he trolls for thee...

    ~It's not helpful at this stage of the electoral process to have your candidate's name mentioned in the same sentence as "...investigation into sexting underage girls". But Democrats are nothing if not fierce and absolute in their devotion.

    Thursday's Wikileaks brought forth the revelation that, at the highest levels in the Hillary campaign, senior officials had been wondering what precisely is the difference between credibly accused sexual predator Bill Cosby and credibly accused sexual predator Bill Clinton. My post on the topic prompted Professor Larry A Feig of Tufts University to write to me:
    Cosby drugged women you a**hole
    Larry A Feig, PhD
    Professor of Developmental, Molecular & Chemical Biology
    Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences
    Tufts University

    I'm not a PhD, but I think there should be a comma between "drugged women" and "you ***hole".
    Two points to Professor Feig:

    1) You should have sent your response to Hillary campaign official Ron Klain, senior foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan and campaign chair John Podesta, who were the ones trying to agree a line on this particular topic.

    2) Still, thanks for giving us the view from one of America's most prestigious safe spaces. If I understand Professor Feig correctly, the critical distinction is that it's totally unacceptable to sedate your victims so they wake up afterwards wondering what the hell happened, as opposed to ensuring they remain conscious for every violent, traumatic moment of the rape. "Zzzzzz" means "no", but "no" means "sure, go for it, just make sure I stay awake." You might want to put some ice on that theory, professor.

    If Hillary prevails next week, expect a lot more of this in the next eight years.

    ~If Professor Feig wants to pursue this line on the forthcoming Mark Steyn Show, I'd certainly be interested in chewing it over with him. He might have to clean up his language for telly, though. If you haven't yet heard, I'll be starting a brand new nightly one-hour extravaganza that you can view almost anywhere on the planet and at whatever hour of the day suits you best - or via a big weekend binge watch. You can catch it on TV or tablet, iPhone or incendiary Samsung - or, for you FBI agents, on Anthony Weiner's laptop. In Sydney's Daily Telegraph, the Great Australian Wag Tim Blair raves: "This could be great."

    I think the FBI should add to their list of investigatory matters how "terrorists" who killed our 4 Americans in Benghazi knew where the safe house was.

    Ambassador Stevens wasn't stationed in the consulate city of Benghazi. He was stationed at the Embassy in Tripoli. So how did the terrorists who were attacking Tripoli know a) Stevens was in Benghazi and b) where the safe house was?

    Safe houses are supposed to be safe because they're secret locations.

    It occurred to me last night that maybe Ambassador Stevens was assassinated or taken out because he knew something the White House or Hillary didn't want to come out and maybe he was assassinated.

    FBI should look into this. Stevens should have been ordered out of Tripoli and returned to the US. Instead he goes to Benghazi to a safe house the terrorists knew about. Why him and the 3 protecting him? Why in Benghazi? Why in a safe house? Why wasn't help sent?

    When you stand back at look at it, there is one simple answer to all those questions and it's a planned assassination by someone who knew where the safe house was located. Who knew where the safe house was located?

    Maybe he knew something about this pay for play, maybe something in Libya or a neighboring country and Hillary and the White House didn't want that to come out.

    Barry Shariaseed and the Muslim Brotherhood Tree

    By Mark A. Hewitt

    In the 2000s, one of America's legends is the pioneer community organizer, Barack Obama, aka Barry Shariaseed. Barry Shariaseed wanders the Christian communities of the world planting the seeds of Islam in an effort to introduce Muslims into the Christian world. No one ever questioned his Muslim faith as he extended the sharia wherever he traveled. Over the years, his frequent visits to government agencies were looked forward to, and no United Nations door was ever closed to him. To the men of the Muslim Brotherhood he was "The One" they've been waiting for. He was also very religious and mandated the sharia to people along the way. His favorite sound was the Call to Prayer. (Apologies to the story of Johnny Appleseed.)

    A recent WikiLeaks release of a "Podesta email" reminded me of a document submitted into evidence during America's largest terrorist prosecution in U.S. federal court, U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation, et al. The Center for Security Policy posted "the Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Plan in America." This document is known in counterterrorism circles as "An Explanatory Memorandum: On the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America." The Center for Security Policy also published the 2010 "Sharia: The Threat to America: An Exercise in Competitive Analysis." Some of the authors of the analysis are well known inside and outside the intelligence community, such as Lt. Gen. William "Jerry" Boykin.

    The innocuous-sounding Explanatory Memorandum explained how the Muslim Brotherhood sought to extend sharia into the United States and Canada. The document outlined "the mission of the Muslim Brother in North America" through a five-phase plan. Specifically, "[t]he process of settlement is a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process'. The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." Ikhwan refers to the local or stealthy jihadis of North America and not the Wahhabi religious militia made up of nomadic tribesmen in Saudi Arabia.

    Under sharia, civilization jihad – a "pre-violent" form of jihad – is considered an integral, even dominant element of jihad that is at least as obligatory for sharia's adherents as the violent kind. Such tactics are ostensibly "nonviolent" – not because the Muslim Brotherhood eschews violence, but because the Explanatory Memorandum has decided that this strategic phase of battlefield preparation is better accomplished through stealthy means. Hence, civilization jihad can be considered "stealth jihad."

    The Ikhwan's strategy for destroying the United States is to get us, specifically our leadership, to do the bidding of the MB for them. The Muslim Brotherhood intends to conduct Civilization Jihad by co-opting our leadership into believing a counterfactual understanding of Islam and the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood(emphasis mine), thereby coercing these leaders to enforce the MB narrative on their subordinates.

    Another document referenced from the U.S. v. Holy Land Foundation trial was an undated paper entitled "Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan." It specified the five phases of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement in North America. They are described, together with comments about the Ikhwan's progress in realizing each goal.
    Phase One: Phase of discreet and secret establishment of leadership.
    Phase Two: Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene and exercising and utilizing various public activities. Establishing a shadow government (secret) within the Government.

    The memory-triggering Podesta email came from former New York solicitor general Preeta D. Bansal, sent to a classmate of then-candidate Obama and a member of the Obama campaign's transition team. What caught my eye was this (emphasis mine): "In the candidates for top jobs, I excluded those with some Arab American background but who are not Muslim (e.g., George Mitchell). Many Lebanese Americans, for example, are Christian. In the last list (of outside boards/commissions), most who are listed appear to be Muslim American, except that a handful (where noted) may be Arab American but of uncertain religion (esp. Christian)." A generous review of the email assessed that the 2007 Obama transition team clearly had planned to hire Muslims over Christians for the top jobs and gave early preferential treatment to Muslims over everyone else.

    While the Podesta email may look like "not much" at face value, the emphasis on adherence to the Phases of the World Underground Movement Plan is significant, given other troubling aspects of the Obama administration. A disturbing pattern of implementing Phase One and Two activities emerged after the election of President Obama.

    President Obama told NASA administrator Charles Bolden that his highest priority should be "to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." NASA went on a Muslim hiring spree, as did other government agencies.

    With the election of President Obama in November 2008 and his Muslim Outreach initiative, exemplified by his Cairo "A New Beginnings" speech at Al Azhar University, the Obama administration extended a formal welcome to the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Investor's Business Daily noted a lengthy chronology of events in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, punctuated by the overthrow of the Mubarak regime in Egypt during the Arab Spring of 2011 that swept the Muslim Brotherhood into power. In 2009, the White House invited the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) president to President Obama's inauguration ceremonies, even though the Justice Department just two years earlier had blacklisted the Brotherhood affiliate as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land trial. Obama delivered his Cairo speech, infuriating the Mubarak regime by inviting Muslim Brotherhood leaders to attend. In 2011, the Brotherhood vowed to tear up Egypt's 30-year peace treaty with Israel. Since Mubarak's fall, the M.B. worked to re-establish Cairo's ties with Hamas and Hezb'allah.

    Sensitive and top-level government positions have been filled by Muslims with questionable loyalties to the United States. One of the FBI's former top experts on Islam announced that President Obama's pick to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, converted to Islam years ago. Hillary Clinton's top campaign aide, Huma Abedin, edited a radical Muslim publication that blamed the U.S. for 9/11. Syed Abedin, the father of Huma, outlined his M.B. view of sharia law and how the Western world has turned Muslims "hostile."

    Closely associated with sharia doctrine on lying is the concept of taqiyya, which is generally described as lying for the sake of Islam. Taqiyya permits and encourages precautionary dissimulation as a means for hiding true faith in times of persecution or deception when penetrating the enemy camp.

    The enemy camp is the United States of America, and we are the targets of a stealthy jihad. The Muslim Brotherhood's Strategic Plan is being implemented. Led by Barry Shariaseed, who has planted the seeds of sharia wherever he goes, the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. at the highest levels of government. Infiltration will be total with the election of Hillary Clinton and her Muslim Brotherhood proxy, Huma Abedin.

    Some news outlets are also mentioning a pedophile ring involving a lot of Washington major players with the Clinton Foundations and of course the Clintons involved in it right up to their necks. This was discovered by the NYPD who searched weiners Home. The NYPD threatened the FBI if they didn't come out with it all they would leak it. Now apparently leaks are surfacing from the FBI and the NYPD. So again we wait and see if anything actually is done. This apparently is a International pedophile ring so hopefully it won't be just a FBI and NYPD investigation.
