Trump zeroes in on Abedin in latest Clinton attack
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, and other top officials were found to have used private email for White House business earlier this year, which prompted an internal review.
Sources close to Hillary Clinton and Abedin say there's no official plan or strategy on how to deal with Abedin and the Yahoo controversy.
One source close to both women said Abedin is consulting a close group of confidants and her lawyers. And Clinton “really has nothing to do with this,” the source said.
“I'm sure she doesn't want to involve herself in any of it,” the source said. “I don’t see any scenario where HRC is hands-on with this stuff.”
Karen Dunn, Abedin's lawyer, referred inquiries to Nick Merrill, Clinton’s spokesman. Merrill did not respond to a request for comment.
Since Trump’s surprising 2016 win, he has frequently turned his attention to his former rival. In the last two months, he has mentioned her more than two dozen times on Twitter and mentions her during campaign-style rallies around the country. His supporters have frequently met the mentions with chants of "lock her up!"
“To be kept in mind is the ‘distract and deflect’ strategy at work on the part of the White House and its allies,” one adviser said. “The more focus is on allegations regarding Russia, the greater the effort to toss out allegations about the Clinton campaign and people.”
Other longtime Clinton advisers pushed back on Trump after his Tweet on Tuesday.
“Pick on someone your own size. Like Shamu,” Clinton's longtime spokesman Philippe Reines said in response to Trump's Tweet, referring to a famous killer whale. He later called the president a “prick.”

They probably don't have the personal to look into right now.
They are still investigating Obama hacking and Obama's birth certificate. And the Obama's being "uppity". All things Obama.
