Another "phoney" scandal

check out this 'sweetheart" deal.. ,.. pun intended..

Huma Abedin faces questions about dual jobs

On June 13, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, wrote her and Secretary of State John Kerry asking why Abedin, the deputy chief of staff at the State Department under former Secretary Hillary Clinton, was granted status as a "special government employee" after the birth of her son.

That title allowed her to work from home as a part-time consultant to State, earning $135,000 as a government employee -- while also earning $355,000 as a consultant for Teneo, where former President Bill Clinton is a board member.

Grassley wants to know who authorized Abedin's change in status, what effect that change had on her security clearances, and whether the department interacted with the companies with which Abedin consulted.

"I am concerned that the 'special government employee' designation blurs the line between public and private sector employees, especially when employees receive full-time salaries for what appears to be part-time work," Grassley wrote to Abedin.

"If this story pans out that Huma actually had access to inside information while serving as a government official but at the same time serving as a strategic consultant to a firm that actively trades in the stock market, this could be quite a problem, " he said.

Bill has since resigned from Teneo capital.. which was consulting to MF global...

well he didn't actually resign.. they cancelled all his contracts after Corzine left the firms in disgrace..

which might explain why there was no investigation into MF global...

oh what a tangled web the Clintons weave...

oh well just another phoney scandal to add to the long list...

I remember growing up, just about everything we were exposed to taught us, "Crime does not pay." That statement is no longer correct. Crime does pay! :cry:

Greed and a Give me attitude is what runs everything now. The US is doomed to become just another Bankrupt country if they can't stop the speed in which the entitlement programs are being implemented. I fear it is already to late to stop the insanity in the US due to the fact Obama got a second term after his outlandish spending. :cry:
