Hillary blamed former FBI boss Comey (along with a dozen other things) for her loss. But Comey's intervention came because of Huma Abedin. And her personal life.
The Clintons are not known for being the forgiving type. If Hillary really believes what she's saying (and despite her long career as a serial liar, I think she actually does) you would think that costing Hillary her life's ambition would be a firing offense.)
But no. Huma is still on the Hillary train. Or is Hillary on the Huma train?
Failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has paid Huma Abedin nearly $65,000 from her campaign funds since her November election defeat, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Records show Abedin, Clinton's longtime friend and aide who served as the vice chair of the campaign, has been paid $64,415.10 in salary from Hillary for America, Clinton's campaign committee, since mid-November.
From mid-November to the end of March, Abedin was paid $52,180.65 from Hillary for America. From the beginning of April until the end of June, Abedin was given another $12,234.45 from Clinton's campaign committee.
Huma isn't the only one being paid. The Hillary campaign was rolled out of the Hillary org and the Clinton Foundation. The various orgs in Clintonworld have always been interchangable.
Hillary is still trying to run a PAC and somehow be relevant. And while her speaking tour won't look anything like it has in the past (there's less reason to curry favor with a failed presidential candidate) she'll still do her round of speeches.
And, from what we've learned about the Clintons, they're utterly incapable of functioning without people to do everything for them. But why Huma?
Anthony Weiner remains a factor. Which means that Clintonworld is only one more scandal away from being a national laughingstock. Again.
It would make sense to cut Huma off and give her a shove to the arctic regions on an ice floe.
Either Hillary is incapable of letting go. Or unable to let go. Either Huma Abedin can do more damage as an ex-employee than a current employee (and considering the damage she's already done, that's quite an extreme assessment) or she still has the ability to open doors for Hillary in the Muslim world, which even after the defeat, will keep the cash flowing.
