Huma Abedin apparently lied under oath to protect Hillary Clinton. While under oath during the original FBI investigation, Abedin swore she gave up all devices to the FBI that contained Hillary Clinton and State Department related e-mails. Turns out that wasn’t the case as we learned yesterday.

But Huma Abedin is not simply a close aide, she’s a critical member of Hillary Clinton’s tiny inner circle that protects and — at times — enables the deeply flawed and secretive Democratic nominee.
So despite FBI Director James Comey’s announcement that the bureau is reviewing emails from Abedin’s time at the State Department reportedly found on a laptop she shared with her soon-to-be ex-husband Anthony Weiner (confiscated as a part of the FBI’s investigation into allegations he sexted with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl), the campaign made clear on Saturday that she’s not going anywhere.
John Podesta, the chairman of the Clinton campaign, told reporters on a conference call that Abedin had been nothing but cooperative with investigators and sat for hours of depositions last summer as part of the civil lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch.
“There’s nothing that she’s done that we think calls into question anything that she’s done with respect to this investigation… we fully stand behind her,” Podesta said.
Despite the denials, expect Huma Abedin to get tossed under the bus within in the next few days. Hillary Clinton can always latch on to Valerie Jarrett as her new Muslim mole.
