More incestuous,crony, corruption of the Clintons and their friends...
She went from full-time deputy chief of staff for Clinton to a part-timer, then started working for Teneo, a consulting firm led by former President Clinton aide Douglas Band.
The agency’s inspector general’s office this spring confirmed an investigation on the matter and on email exchanges between Abedin and Clinton.
Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has since 2013 led the effort to learn more about Abedin’s time at the State Department.
Last week, he sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry and others asking about an investigation into possible “criminal” conduct by Abedin over her pay and her possibly violating rules that govern vacation and sick time.
The purported State Department inspector general report found Abedin was overpaid by nearly $10,000 because she violated such rules while at the agency.
The 39-year-old Abedin, vice chairwoman of the Clinton campaign, is contesting the findings and has requested an administrative review of them, while her lawyer calls the report “fundamentally flawed.”
The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request Saturday for comment.
Abedin is married to former New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner, who resigned from Congress in 2011 over a sexting scandal.
Larry J. Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, told The Washington Times that only political insiders will even know Abedin's name.
“But she's another building block in the image of Clinton being conveyed to voters," he said. "More and more, the current Clinton campaign is starting to remind me of the Clintons in the 1990s. At times, their controversies came in waves and filled news pages. It's happening all over again for Hillary in this campaign."
Abedin made roughly $69,000 in the first quarter of 2015, which would put her on pace to make $276,000 this year, according to news outlets’ analysis of federal reports.

Your lack of political acumen comes as no surprise – in essence, you're doing it wrong.
You're trying – and failing – to drive supporters of HRC away from her with this and other ridiculous lies; indeed, these unwarranted, unfounded attacks serve only to compel HRC's supporters to close ranks.
Whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, HRC is extremely popular with democrats, enjoying a 73 percent approval rating among likely primary voters, where if she is the nominee, she'll have democrats going to the polls in large numbers.
Your only response to this is to nominate a republican candidate who will attract weak (“Reagan”) democrats away from HRC, along with democratic-leaning independents and moderates – weak democrats who may not like HRC, or want to vote for her, but will support her if the republican nominee is perceived to be too extreme and too far to the right.
