As the world burned, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used her taxpayer-funded lackey Huma Abedin to organize a party for fashion designer Oscar de la Renta in 2012 at the Clinton Library in Arkansas.
Per a report in The New York Post Wednesday:
Huma was being paid by US taxpayers, but that didn’t stop her from sending an email from her State Department account about the fete for the old Clinton buddy.
“I have the packet with the floor, pantone [color] options and the floorplan,” Abedin assured a top Clinton library staffer in one missive.
Stephanie Streett, executive director of the library, replied with details about a “temp floor covering that can go over the permanent natural bamboo if they prefer.”
The only thing that got in the way of Abedin’s allegedly taboo moonlighting was her boss’s clunky, controversial, private email server. It was down, leading her to gripe: “My bigger problem right now is I can’t even get into my Clinton email and I wanted to print all the latest documents to go through line by line with oscar,” according to emails obtained through a lawsuit by advocacy group Citizens United.
De la Renta designed both Abedin’s and Chelsea Clinton’s wedding dresses, along with Clinton’s two inaugural gowns — which were displayed at the library retrospective.
This, of course, isn’t the first time we’ve heard about Clinton sending Abedin to do personal — and family — business on the taxpayer dime.
A recent State Department probe found that Clinton’s longtime aide earned $10,000 in taxpayer money while conducting business for the Clinton Foundation and taking paid time off.
Senate Judiciary Committee chair Sen. Chuck Grassley (R.-Iowa), in a recent letter to Abedin, Secretary of State John Kerry and the OIG, said there is “at least a reasonable suspicion of a violation” of federal law regarding “theft of public money through time and attendance fraud” on Abedin’s part.
Grassley has requested more information about how Abedin’s designation as a “special government employee” allowed her to work for the Clinton Foundation and another firm with ties to the Clintons during the final months of her tenure at state.
