What about Huma?

"'Maybe I’m just pissed off, but I really don’t give a shit about what happens to Huma to be honest with you,' one close adviser to Hillary Clinton told me recently."

madAsHell said...: Neither do I.

I always thought that HilLIARy was paid to employ her.

.....and who-the-fuck crawls in bed with Carlos Danger.; 12/14/16, 10:31 AM
mikee said...: Is Huma still separated from Carlos Danger, her sexual predator husband?
Or was that just for the election?

Is Hillary still married to Slick Willy, her sexual predator husband?
Or was that just for the election?; 12/14/16, 10:32 AM

traditionalguy said...: Huma is Hillary's Trophy Intern. They are beautiful, slinky, always well dressed, and expensive, very expensive, temporaries.; 12/14/16, 10:50 AM
Glenn Howes said...: The interesting revelation in the article is that the campaign diverted funds from Michigan to try and eek out more popular votes in Chicago and New Orleans.; 12/14/16, 10:53 AM
Matt Sablan said...: "The interesting revelation in the article is that the campaign diverted funds from Michigan to try and eek out more popular votes in Chicago and New Orleans. "

-- If Clinton's campaign had any self-awareness and weren't so painfully stupid, I'd almost think this entire "win popular vote and cause a stink" was a contingency on losing instead of the normal sore loserism we see from Dems post-election.; 12/14/16, 10:58 AM
Peter said...: "The knives are out in Clintonworld"

So? When a knife become dull you sharpen it or discard it. When a tool breaks, one can fix it or throw it out.

Did Huma ever think she was something more than just another tool for Clinton to use as she saw fit? If so, she may need to reconcile some serious cognitive dissonance.

How does that saying go? "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."?; 12/14/16, 11:04 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Huma should be in jail, along with her perv husband, who also wasn't supposed to "possess" national secrets on his DNA-covered laptop.

Cheryl Mills and David Kendall should be prosecuted. And I still think a special counsel may have to be appointed to get to the bottom of the Clinton Crime Family and Hillary's pay-to-play State Department. She might want to very carefully consider just how far she wants to push this "Trump is illegitimate" meme because it could backfire and he's the one with all the power now.; 12/14/16, 11:06 AM
Matt Sablan said...: "She might want to very carefully consider just how far she wants to push this "Trump is illegitimate" meme because it could backfire and he's the one with all the power now."

-- I think that's part of pushing it. If he's illegitimate, she can make a big stink about being politically persecuted by an un-elected pretender.; 12/14/16, 11:07 AM

rehajm said...: Since Weiner is running on Showtime I sat and suffered through and it's the as expected tragicomic think piece created to induce sympathy for Anthony (Huma struck me as the ever suffering wife Hillary would be if Hillary had a soul). Huma didn't speak much, which led me to believe she's less likely to possess the gene that causes lefties to be comes unhinged when they don't get what they want.; 12/14/16, 11:13 AM
JAORE said...: IIRC Trump said he wasn't interested in prosecuting Hillary. I heard no such discussion of Huma, or Cheryl or..... There might be a LOT of hay to rake in that field.

That Huma is expected to do well says a lot about DC. What, other than a decades long toady to Hillary has she accomplished? You know, Hillary the one twice destined to be the first woman POTUS. Hillary of scandal and lawlessness. Are her connections to Hillary the failure and the fading Clinton Foundations of real value. Could Hillary turn on her?

Of course she does have connections as the (ex?) wife of a congressman.... oh wait.

Who would want to let Huma hitch her wagon to their star?

So what does she offer?; 12/14/16, 11:13 AM
Virgil Hilts said...: Huma can always go back to editing the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs. That sounds like fun.
Iran must feel extremely frustrated that they will not have someone with lengthy Iranian ties/allegiances tied to POTUS at the hip - it had been working so well for them.; 12/14/16, 11:14 AM
MayBee said...: I always wonder how Chelsea feels about Huma being called Hillary's surrogate daughter.; 12/14/16, 11:29 AM

1. Western civilization was saved by a dick pic

2. Western civilization was saved by dodo head IT person failing to add "il" to the word legitimate.

Darrell said...: Now that Huma's value as a spy for the Brotherhood is zero, she has to report for suicide vest duty. The rules are the rules.; 12/14/16, 11:43 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: Not quite sure how Huma would do in Iran. Problem is that they are majority Shia, and she, and her family, seem to be reliably Sunni. Reliable enough to get Saudi protection. Which is why I don't see her behind us selling out to Iran (I think that came from the White House), but do see her as being involved in Lydia, Syria, and, esp, Egypt (thanks to her family's strong ties to the Musli Brotherhood), and our support of their "Arab Spring".

It will be interesting following her now. Never quite sure where the money was coming from that she was spending on clothes. The reason that I suspected that there wasn't a lot of external money was that the Clintons had to put her on the payroll at their foundation and at closely allied Teneo (in addition to her State Dept salary - supposedly illegal, but given a waiver, surprise, surprise), when Weiner lost his job in Congress. She is going to need money, and it isn't clear where that is going to come from. Normally, I would expect Crooked Hillary to take care of her - but the Clintons are likely to have problems themselves, after essentially pre-selling official favors and high govt posts, assuming her winning the Presidency.; 12/14/16, 11:48 AM
Curious George said...: I wonder if Bill ever hit that?; 12/14/16, 11:51 AM
Virgil Hilts said...: Yep, no Iranian connection for HA (my mistake). Need to stop reading those alt right sites.; 12/14/16, 11:52 AM

traditionalguy said...: Chelsea could not compete with Huma, because Chelsea would not suck her off. Dysfunctional families are sad.; 12/14/16, 12:06 PM
Wince said...: As the only real parent to her young child, I image a prosecutor could flip Huma against Hillary pretty easily with a threat of prison.

And Hillary must know that.; 12/14/16, 12:14 PM
Left Bank of the Charles said...: If Hillary and Huma were to divorce their current spouses and marry, they wouldn't have to testify against one another. And they might finally get some love from Althouse on this blog.; 12/14/16, 12:20 PM

Speaking of "dysfuntional," you are a repulsive, foulmouthed pervert who needs help with your sick sexual fantasies. Perhaps the president-elect can join you and Anthony Weiner in group therapy. You can all ***k each other off.

Most disgusting is the fact that you are holding an infant in your photo. Are you molesting that child? If so, STOP and turn yourself in to the police.; 12/14/16, 12:52 PM
john said...: The story followed a report in the New York Post noting that Weiner, in the wake of his most recent sexting scandal, had cut short his rehab stay after about 30 days, supposedly because he ran out of money. (His family had wanted him to stay for 90 days, at a cost of around $1,000 per day, Richard Johnson reported in Page Six, and his parents reportedly took out a mortgage on their home to help him pay for the cost of the treatment.)

Weiner is a 52 year old pajama boy.; 12/14/16, 12:59 PM
David said...: There is a hell of a memoir in that woman, if she has the guts and ability to write it.; 12/14/16, 12:59 PM

Not quite sure how Huma would do in Iran.

I think I do. She would do very poorly. Most people (and the government) would be highly suspicious of her, and she would miss the freedom of America. Also the good pay. She would be hugely vulnerable.; 12/14/16, 1:05 PM
dwick said...: "...the suggestion had been made that Clinton should show her gregarious side, by, for instance, appearing more often on The View.

WTF? As if going on The View would have shown off Hillary's supposed 'gregarious side' to a whole new audience not already predisposed to vote for her?; 12/14/16, 1:09 PM
rehajm said...: As if going on The View would have shown off Hillary's supposed 'gregarious side' to a whole new audience not already predisposed to vote for her?

Successful or not the only reason The View is still on the air is for propaganda like this.; 12/14/16, 1:25 PM
William said...: I would like to know the true story of her marriage and her relations with Hillary and the Clinton family. It will never come out in my lifetime, but it's bound to be quite a story. For that reason alone, Huma is bound to have a cushy spot on the Clinton payroll for years to come......Only parts of Eleanor Roosevelt's story have ever come out. Apparently she treated her lover Lorena Hitchcock with the same casual disregard that FDR treated her. That may have been part of her appeal to Eleanor.; 12/14/16, 1:42 PM
wildswan said...: It's interesting how quickly she and Anthony have fallen off the radar. No one thinks this weird pair can influence our lives any more and that's just another Christmas gift from President-elect Trump.; 12/14/16, 1:51 PM

Sebastian said...: @wildswan: "It's interesting how quickly she and Anthony have fallen off the radar. No one thinks this weird pair can influence our lives any more and that's just another Christmas gift from President-elect Trump." Much as I disliked Trump the campaigner, this is one reason I completely discounted the #NeverTrump nonsense, which never seriously addressed the alternative: that we would be ruled by the likes of Huma. And John Podesta. And Cheryl Mills. And all the the other mindless, clueless, law-breaking grifters and hangers-on.; 12/14/16, 1:59 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Huma the Puma has to find a new patron. Maybe, she can latch onto Chuck Schumer, Weiner's old patron.

Whatever.

I'm glad these weirdos are out of power. Another reason to support Trump.; 12/14/16, 2:01 PM

My theory is that it wasn't lesbianism. The Clintons knew early on that Chelsea wasn't cut out for politics and so needed another heir. Huma was smart, attractive, and loyal to Hillary, and so she was being groomed to be the heir. If Hillary had won in 2008 Huma would have worked through a variety of cushy positions in the executive branch that would give her experience, while Anthony Weiner rose through the congressional ranks. 2016 would have been their election.; 12/14/16, 2:08 PM

And wrong. Everybody knows Chelsea was Bill's meat.; 12/14/16, 2:25 PM
Trumpit said...: Bad Lieutenant,

You are coarse, rude and deplorable, just like Trump. Trump is the Siberian candidate - Moscow's handpicked stooge. And you are Trump's patsy.; 12/14/16, 3:09 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Trumpit, you are vileness indescribable, just like the Clintons. Anything that I can say that will set your teeth on edge, consider it said.

I wish that your lies about Trump were true, if only so that you could be even angrier when you are ignored and he takes power.

That said, I see you do not disagree with me about Bill and Chelsea, so at least we have common ground.; 12/14/16, 3:31 PM
Charlie said...: Plus, now she's going to have to fly commercial.; 12/14/16, 3:54 PM
Gk1 said...: Huma is expendable to the Clinton's just like a kleenex or toilet paper. If we lived in the age of the Pharaohs Huma would be buried alive in Hillary's crypt along with her favorite chariot and footstool.; 12/14/16, 4:07 PM
khesanh0802 said...: @GK1 Everyone is expendable to the Clintons. Fortunately now they find themselves on their list of expendables!; 12/14/16, 4:37 PM

How true.

I think Abedin could get a job at any university on the East Coast teaching. She has I am sure a great deal of knowledge.; 12/14/16, 5:21 PM
Drago said...: Trumpit: "Trump is the Siberian candidate - Moscow's handpicked stooge."

Maybe Trumpit is on to something.

We will have to watch closely to make sure Trump doesn't act in Russia's interest. For instance, he might give Russia control over 20% of US Uranium reserves. Or he might allow Russia to establish a complete client state in the heart of the middle east while the US completely backs off through feckless foreign policy. Trump might also promise to be super duper flexible for Putin after his last election.

Oh.

Wait.

Hmmmmm; 12/14/16, 5:35 PM

Weak, so very decrepit and doddering. I'd expect much better from even Abie Someone, who's pretty damned weak herself.

The Soros troll fund must be in deeply in arrears. Perhaps he bet the farm on the Yuan.; 12/14/16, 5:41 PM
