Senate
Republicans are again attempting to ascertain why former-Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton top assistant Huma Abedin, was allowed to keep
working at the State Department under a special, part-time status while
also being employed at a politically-connected consulting firm,
according tonews reports on Saturday. Questions also linger about Ms. Abedin's alleged connection to the Muslim Brotherhood's women's auxiliary while having access to classified information and documents.

Iowa GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary
Committee, is following up on allegations that both women used a private
Internet server and email accounts for State Department correspondence,
even those that were considered confidential and classified. Grassley
claims that the earlier requests to the department have been largely
ignored since the Senate was controlled by the Democrats. Now with the
GOP in the majoritynew requests have gone to the department’s inspector general and to Secretary of State John Kerry, seeking their involvement.
What also made it difficult was the fact that during Clinton's time
as Secretary of State, her department had no Inspector General for a
very long period of time. Grassley’s first probe
began in 2013, when he requested all communications between Abedin,
after she went from being a full-time assistant chief of staff for
Clinton to a part-time assistant chief of staff. The reason for the
changes was that Huma began her job with the government consulting
company, Teneo.
As a part-timer, Abedin made more than $155,000 per year. “A number
of conflict-of-interest concerns arise when a government employee is
simultaneously being paid by a private company, especially when that
company (is) Teneo,” Grassley said in theMarch 19 letter
to Kerry. Grassley said that he wishes to know “what steps the
department took to ensure that … Abedin’s outside employment with a
political-intelligence and corporate-advisory firm did not conflict with
her simultaneous employment at the State Department.”
In addition, suspicions still exist about Huma Abedin -- who is the
wife of disgraced ex-congressman Anthony Weiner -- and her connections
to radical Islamists such as the Muslim Brotherhood. While President
Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly told
the American people that the radical Islamist group was "moderate,"
experts on Islamic terrorism knew better.
The Muslim Brotherhood’s secret women’s division,
the Muslim Sisterhood, a/k/a the International Women’s Organization
(IWO), the name of Huma's mother, Saleha Abedin, appears on its
membership roster, according Muslim terrorism experts Walid Shoebat and
Ben Barrack in an Examiner news story.
Neither Huma Abedin nor any major Western media outlet even mention
what is common knowledge in the Arab world: Huma Abedin has ties to the
Muslim Sisterhood. In addition, Shoebat and Barrack have confirmed that
Huma Abedin has a brother named Hassan Abedin, who works at Oxford
University, and was a founding member of the Oxford Center for Islamic
Studies (OCIS). Hassan is listed as a fellow and he partners with a
number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board, including al-Qaeda
associate Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader
SheikhYoussef Qaradawi; both men have been listed as OCIS Trustees. In
fact, Naseef continues to serve as Board Chairman.
