Abedin flouted financial disclosure requirements; Hillary approved her sweetheart deal anyway

(Paul Mirengoff) We've written before about Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's protege and trusted adviser. In 2012, Abedin, then Clinton's deputy chief-of-staff, received a sweetheart deal from the State Department whereby she became a special government employee (SGE). As such, she could double-dip — working as a consultant to outside clients while continuing as a top adviser at State. Abedin took advantage of this arrangement to work as a consultant for clients such
