Robert Spencer, FrontPage: Could the Jig Finally Be Up for Huma Abedin?

Aug 17, 2015 7:18 am By Robert Spencer

Huma HillaryIn FrontPage this morning I explain why the current mini-controversy over Huma Abedin bespeaks a much larger problem with America’s contemporary political culture.

They got Al Capone for tax evasion, and they may get Huma Abedin for “violating rules regarding vacation and sick leave” and for the “possible exchange of unsecured, classified data.” To be sure, these are serious charges, and the available evidence makes it abundantly clear that there is ample warrant to investigate and perhaps even charge Abedin. However, it is a sign of a serious problem with today’s political culture that even more serious allegations regarding Abedin have never been investigated, and almost certainly never will be.

Huma Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood connections have been fully exposed by Andrew McCarthy and bruited about for years. The facts are quite public, albeit largely ignored: Abedin’s parents are both members of the Muslim Brotherhood, but her links to the organization are not just familial. Abedin was for twelve years the assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs (JMMA), which was founded by Abdullah Omar Naseef, a Muslim Brotherhood operative and al-Qaeda financier. Naseef and Abedin both appeared on the JMMA’s masthead from 1996 to 2003.

Consider that Abedin worked closely for seven years with a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who financed al-Qaeda in light of the Obama Administration’s foreign policy during the years that Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. Everyone acknowledges that Abedin and Clinton are extremely close, and that Abedin controls access to Clinton and has tremendous influence over her. Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department was distinguished by the remarkable sight of Egyptian anti-Muslim Brotherhood protestors holding signs denouncing the President of the United States for supporting terrorism, and by the Benghazi debacle, when the Secretary of State sat back and did nothing as jihad terrorists murdered four Americans, including an ambassador.

Then there was the Benghazi cover-up, during which Clinton vowed to have a man who made a video criticizing Muhammad arrested and imprisoned for supposedly provoking the riots, thereby placing herself firmly in opposition to the freedom of speech and aligning herself with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s efforts to compel Western governments to criminalize criticism of Islam (under the guise of “incitement to religious hatred”).

Is it at all possible that Huma Abedin, whose parents were active in the Brotherhood and who worked for twelve years for a journal closely linked to the Brotherhood, had anything to do with the pro-Muslim Brotherhood orientation of the Obama/Clinton State Department? In today’s poisonous political culture, it isn’t possible even to ask the question without incurring charges of “Islamophobia” – as we saw in 2012, when Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) had the temerity to call for an investigation of possible Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. government.

Bachmann explained: “The concerns about the foreign influence of immediate family members is such a concern to the U.S. Government that it includes these factors as potentially disqualifying conditions for obtaining a security clearance, which undoubtedly Ms. Abedin has had to obtain to function in her position. For us to raise issues about a highly-based U.S. Government official with known immediate family connections to foreign extremist organizations is not a question of singling out Ms. Abedin.  In fact, these questions are raised by the U.S. Government of anyone seeking a security clearance.” And that was to say nothing about Abedin’s association with Naseef and work with the JMMA.

Now that Abedin is suspected of mishandling classified material, Bachmann’s questions about Abedin’s security clearance are piquant in retrospect. But when she first raised them, Bachmann was ridiculed and vilified, even earning a denunciation from John McCain: “These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members of Huma’s family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way. These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis, and no merit. And they need to stop now.”

It was actually about more than just Abedin’s family, and a perfectly sound case could be made, in light of Obama’s foreign policy disasters, that Abedin’s Muslim Brotherhood links possibly did harm and threaten the United States. But Bachmann’s name was dragged through the mud in 2012 for talking about all this, and now none of the new allegations against Abedin raise any issue with her possible Muslim Brotherhood connections.

That few people care about those connections, and that those who do are dismissed as “far-Right bigots,” shows how myopic and foolish our contemporary political culture is. If Huma Abedin had a hand in the pro-Muslim Brotherhood tilt of the Obama/Clinton State Department, that would be a far graver offense than anything she is accused of now, just as old Capone was guilty of far greater crimes than tax evasion. But on the other hand, those tax evasion charges ended Capone’s operations for good, and so if Hillary’s infamous email server does the same to Huma Abedin, no one who values America’s historic role as leader of the free world will have any reason to complain.

      A group of special operations veterans and intelligence community officials have formally asked Secretary of State John Kerry to strip former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton of her security clearance along with three of her top aides, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.

        To Huck –

        This is an excellent development. It’s the least we can do and, unhappily, perhaps it will prove to be the most we can do, given the current administration’s judicial administrators. I just worry that even if these treacherous America-haters are stripped of their security clearance, the media will ignore or spin it, and Hill will come up with an excuse that nobody believes for why this happened.

        In any case, chipping away at Shrillary’s credibility is always good, and I’m getting more and more convinced that nobody’s gonna let her run. Her and Huma. That moron Kerry.

        Have always appreciated your comments, as well as your name, Huck! Cheers! Quotha R

    Strange how things work out, that the emails to Hillary’s assistant, have the potential to expose the workings of the MB’s influence in the WH, faster than years of Michele Bachman’s warnings.
    Which shows the strenght of influence of the M.B. ( who should never be in the WH)…and confirms Michele Bachmann.

    Michele Bachmann was a hero to me at that time, and I was angry by her targeted treatment. I am sure O will try to protect Huma, once again in their common cause.

    Maybe Hilliary did that intentionally….just a far out thought.

    Another great article Robert Spencer.

      Not only Michelle Bachmann has been sounding the alarm. About a year ago, Diana West recounted the shameful chapter in the way American conservatives (most notably at CPAC, the very influential organization of Republicans in the Beltway) treated Michelle Bachmann and Frank Gaffney, whose concern has been to sound the alarm about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into American government.

    Great article. I had no idea she worked for 12 years with JMMA. Do we know if she’s renounced islam? More investigations need to go into her actions as Hillary’s assistant and I hope she get’s taken down. I think it might be possible she got tired of islam and flipped to the progressive side. It’s possible she still thinks of herself as a muslim and is screwing with America. I just don’t know.

    The muslim 5th column is relentlessly embedding itself more deeply into the fabric of Western society with every passing year.
    Muslims, like a malignant cancer, are spreading and infecting every organ of the body politic.
    Unless this disease is eradicated from Western society ASAP, the patient will become terminal and beyond help.
    The saddest thing of all, is that Islam is a self inflected disease. Like drug abusers, Western politicians just can´t seem to get enough of the disease called Islam.

    I heard that the server company in Colorado has a copy of all 60k of Hillary’s emails including the ones she deleted and the FBI will take possession of them.

    I hope they find the Muslim Brotherhood connection to Hillary via the Muslima Huma Abedin. That should at minimum knock her out of the race.

    • Richard says

      Aug 17, 2015 at 5:52 pm

      One can ‘hear’ many things…this sounds like very wishful thinking and rumor. Think about the phrase: “the server company in Colorado…” Any PC can be turned into a server and if I recall correctly the Clinton server in question was a computer that was physically located at, and operated out of her home. The way your rumor is phrased seems like whoever started the rumor was addressing the false notion that Clinton was subscribing to space from a server-space-for-hire type service. She was not.

      That said, I hope as do you that this will both knock Hillary out of the race and Abedin out of any position of influence.

      Speaking of Slick Willie, he supported the muslims in the Balkans, refused to give the order to kill Osama (as confirmed by him a few hours before 9/11) and after 9/11 made a speech blaming it on the Crusades.

      I just don’t get why Bill “Sex Addict” Clinton seems to have a special empathy with a religion that lets you have 4 wives and as many sex slaves as you want…

      And Shrillary? She accuses the Republicans of waging a “war on women” despite her overall attitude to other women, starting with the ones who accused her husband of harassing and abusing them. Of course, anything any Republican says about her will be dismissed away as evidence of their alleged “war on women” (even if it comes from Republican women), as opposed to being judged on its merits. There’s so much dirt on her that properly pilled up would give Mauna Kea a run for its money when it comes to “tallest mountain” – Shrillary’s only choice is to go on the offense and hope she can pull the wool over everyone’s eyes.

        Aug 17, 2015 at 11:53 am

        Possibly Bill & Hillary’s groveling behavior toward Islam as well as their selfish carnal driven personalities emboldened Muslims to attack on 911.

        No doubt, that Huma had the full inside scoop on White House affairs as spiteful Hillary was possibly more than glad to passive aggressively spill inside security strategy secrets to backstab George Bush’s presidency if any Muzzies with ill intent just happened to wish to attack the US.

    Aug 17, 2015 at 11:13 am

    Great, a 1st generation Muslim gets highest security clearances to be part of the US State Department working as a ‘body woman’ and me a 7th generation Texan is declined high security clearance while serving in the USAF (1957-61), because my great-great grandfather came from Mexico.

    Oh yes, the specific disqualifying reason was because my great-great grandfather, whom I never met, was a water boy for Pancho Villas horses!

    ‘body woman’ – A body man or body woman is, in U.S. political jargon, a personal assistant and sometimes valet to a politician or political candidate. Yeah, I guess!

    Planting a wolf in the W (hen) H should be scrutinized thoroughly by the authorities!
    That authority would be the FBI, CIA, and including others, perhaps the MB themselves!

    • RonaldB says

      Aug 17, 2015 at 1:34 pm

      Edward,

      Yeah. I hear you. My security clearance was held up for months because my father immigrated from Austria in 1939. When you come right down to it, it’s easier for the authorities to clamp down on small, ancestral details of nobodies than it is to challenge a politically-active, very influential member of the well-connected Muslim Brotherhood.

      This was all described by Peter Bauer, a third-world development economist whose refutations of the value of foreign aid are ignored, but have never been rebutted.

      The phenomenon you described, being denied security clearance for an obviously ridiculous association with Poncho Villa, is a characteristic mainly of third-world governments. What happens is that the government attempts to respond to crime with every more onerous regulations. The police naturally find it extremely dangerous to enforce these regulations against real criminals, so they end up pumping up their statistics by harassing and charging law-abiding, productive citizens.

      And example of this was the businessman who was visiting Jamaica, and was sentenced to years in prison because a bullet had, unknown to him, gotten wedged in his suitcase and violated the strict “no ammunition” laws of Jamaica. Of course, fully-armed Jamaican street gangs were in control of the streets blocks from the courthouse, but it would have been dangerous to interfere with them.

      Thus, back to your experience of being denied a security clearance because of a remote connection your ancestor had with Poncho Villa 50 years earlier, while an active Muslim Brotherhood member was waived through.

        Aug 17, 2015 at 2:03 pm

        RonaldB,

        Not only in third world countries but right here in the USA. The punishment is to fit the crime right? WRONG, sit in on some court cases and you will see criminals with rap sheets pages long getting off with probation while first time offenders get the book thrown at them. I also personally know of cases (I included) where we were wrongly accused of a crime that we DID NOT commit yet the D.A. tried to prosecute anyways. Of course innocence was found but at the cost of thousands of dollars and lost vacation days. One gets the feeling that you are guilty first and you have to prove your innocence.
        I ask where is the justice in that? If the D.A. had to pay for my lawyer I bet they would not be so quick to try cases that have no evidence.
        Yes it still pisses me off to this day and that was 20 years ago.

          Aug 17, 2015 at 4:03 pm

          What a mess!

          Back when I was in the State Department, I held a top secret clearance on a need to know basis, even though I understand that my father had a second cousin twice removed who was an out-and-out Commie in Europe. Reading Edward’s experience, I suspect the process is becoming more of a crapshoot than a serious assessment of the applicant.

          Joseph, what you wrote about your experience with criminal prosecution makes my blood boil. Were I POTUS, I’d order the A.G. to start an investigation–nay, a serious inquisition–into the sorts of judges we have sitting.

        • Joseph says

          Aug 17, 2015 at 6:00 pm

          Kepha,
          Part of the problem is our understaffed/overburdened police force.
          #1) If the detective would have done his job the real criminal would have been caught and I would have been cleared.
          #2) The D.A. should have seen by the evidence that I wasn’t the guy.
          #3) (here is where your judges come in) If the judges would impose maximum sentences for repeat offenders they would be in jail where they belong and not out on the street making more work for the police.

          I say build more jails to house these animals, we won’t need to hire more police AND MOST important lives will be saved and there will be less rapes. Why? Because the people who do this all the time are behind bars. To the nay-sayers of more jails I want you to answer one question. What would you say if the next person that was raped, molested or murdered was your own wife, mother or child, done by a person who should still be behind bars? ? ? ? ?

          And thanks Kepha I cooled down quite a bit when I read that it pisses you off too. That situation took a tole on my family and I.

      This is the second dent that you’ve put in my Olympian ego when my “cheesy” site had half its current traffic. As I recall that too was in response to a post about Hillary-her logo. This can’t be a coincidence. Are you in love with the lying witch? Do you want to see her prez? Do you think a third term of Bill would be good for this country and the war on Islamic terror? While Bill was kissing Moslem butt in Bosnia and Kosovo two fatal things were happening: 1.Bin Laden was planning 9/11. And 2. Bill was weakening our national security system which bin Laden would defeat.

      You think Bill wasn’t somehow responsible for that catastrophe? That it was all Bush’s fault? Not a chance. The first attack on February 27,1993 was prelude. It was a warning to Bill of worse to come. Do you doubt that? Then let me show you how wrong you are. Count the number of days from 2-27-93 to 9-11-01. What do you get (with 2-27 as day one)? 3119 days. Now reverse the numbers, 9113. There it is, a four digit number encoded with 911. Coincidence? Providence? You decide.

      BTW, FYI on 2-27-93 Robert Spencer celebrated his 31st birthday. And guess who turned into a counterjihadist 3119 days later? Pam Geller. Amazing, huh? But just as amazing count the number of days from Spencer’s birth to his 31st birthday.That would be 11, 324 days. Add up the last three digits; 3+2+4 = 9. Combined with 11 again we get 119. Now If the number 911 is a symbol of Islamic Jihad what then does it symbolize when reversed? Reversed jihad. Or Counter-Jihad.

      Now, do you really want Hillary to be prez? Didn’t think so.

    Naseef is more than just a financier of Al Qaeda. He selected Wael Hamza Jalaidan, one of the founders of Al Qaeda, to direct Rabita Trust. He in entangled in many tentacles connected to Al Qaeda and 9/11, beginning with being Secretary General of the Muslim World League (the MWL is also known as Râbitat al-‘Alam al-Islâmî, or simply Rabitah [Rabita]).

    September 11 Terror Litigation
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
    Case Number 1:02CV01616(JR)
    ABDULLAH OMAR NASEEF, DEFENDANT #97

    272. Rabita Trust is the sister organization of the International Islamic Relief Organization as they are both subsidiaries of the Muslim World League.

    273. Rabita Trust, a subsidiary of the Muslim World League, is connected to the SAAR Network, through two officers, Dr. Abdullah Omar Naseefand Abdullah al-Obaid. The SAAR Network was the focus of March 2002 raids led by United States authorities for the network’s ties to al Qaeda.

    274. On October 12, 2001, President George W. Bush’s Executive Order designated Defendant Rabita Trust as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entity and the Treasury Department froze its assets. Defendant Abdullah Omar Naseef founded the Defendant Rabita Trust in July 1988 and is currently its chairman.

    275. Abdullah Omar Naseef (or “Naseef”) also served as Secretary-General of the Muslim World League during the time he created Defendant Rabita Trust and has attempted to spread Muslim World League offices around the world. Part of his global efforts are found in his involvement in a SAAR Network charity. Naseef is an officer of Makkah al-Mukarramah, Inc., registered in Virginia as a non-profit organization. A second shared executive is the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Rabita Trust, Abdullah al-Obaid, who is also an officer at two of the SAAR Network businesses that were raided, the Muslim World League and Sanabel

    SAAR was part of the SAFA Trust Group, a group of shell companies headquartered at 555 Grove Street in Herndon, Virginia, where the FBI and the U.S. Customs agency believe SAAR was set up to raise funds and launder money for international terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda.
    ——————————————————————————————————————-

    As Andrew C. McCarthy puts it “we are not talking here about some random imam in the dizzying alphabet soup of Islamist entities. In the pantheon of Islamic supremacism, there are few positions more critical than secretary general of the Muslim World League. In fact, one of the MWL’s founders was Sa’id Ramadan, the right-hand and son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the Brotherhood’s legendary founder. The MWL manages the “civilization jihad” – the Brotherhood’s commitment to destroy the West from within, and to “conquer” it by sharia proselytism (or dawa), as Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, the Brotherhood’s top sharia jurist, puts it. Nevertheless, the MWL has a long history of deep involvement in violent jihad as well…a month after the 9/11 attacks, Naseef’s Rabitah Trust was formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States government. Ultimately, branches of the al-Haramain Islamic Foundation and the International Islamic Relief Organization – other “charities” with roots in the MWL – were also designated as foreign terrorist organizations under federal law.

    “In 2003, in connection with a terrorism prosecution in Chicago, the Justice Department proffered that Osama bin Laden had told his aide Jamal al-Fadl that the Muslim World League was one of al-Qaeda’s three top funding sources…throughout the time that he ran the MWL and the Rabita Trust, Naseef kept his hand in at the IMMA. In fact, he continued to be listed on the masthead as a member of the
    “advisory editorial board” at the IMMA’s journal until 2003. We might hazard a guess why his name disappeared after that: in 2004, he was named as a defendant in the civil case brought by victims of the 9/11 atrocities.

    “Huma Abedin was affiliated with the IMMA’s journal for a dozen years, from 1996 through 2008. She overlapped with its founder, Naseef, for at least seven years – Huma Abedin’s connection to
    Abdullah Omar Naseef, by itself, would have been more than enough justification to deny her a security clearance. That would have made it inconceivable that she could serve as deputy chief of staff to the secretary of state.”

    • Jack Diamond says

      and today, Naseef is currently an officer of the International Islamic Council for Dawa and Relief, (IICDR) which is composed of more than one hundred Islamic organizations from all around the world and headquartered in Cairo, Egypt. The IICDR web site identifies a large number of affiliated organizations, many of which are associated with the global Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas fundraising, or support for Al Qaeda. It includes the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), part of the SAAR network, a long time financier of jihadists (more than $60 million to the Taliban alone), CONSIDERED PART OF THE SAUDI GOVERNMENT.

      November 2, 1999
      In a court case in Canada, Arafat El-Asahi, the Canadian director of both the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO) and the Muslim World League, says in sworn testimony: “The Muslim World League, which is the mother of IIRO, is a fully government funded organization. In other words, I work for the Government of Saudi Arabia. I am an employee of that government. Second, the IIRO is the relief branch of that organization which means that we are controlled in all our activities and plans by the Government of Saudi Arabia. Keep that in mind, please… I am paid by my organization which is funded by the [Saudi] government.… The [IIRO] office, like any other office in the world, here or in the Muslim World League, has to abide by the policy of the Government of Saudi Arabia.”

      Now that is some damning testimony.

    The things Huma is accused of are minor infractions from a civil service perspective. I’ve know men who used government credit cards for personal items to the tune of $20,000.00. Nothing happened to them, except the Feds docked his pay.

    Even without Hillary there, Huma is a double minority – female and Muslim which makes her untouchable by civil service management unless she kills someone. I’m serious, Mr Spencer has no idea that employees like Huma are essentially untouchable.

    What do you expect from John McCain? He was so reckless he couldn’t even fly his plane straight in Vietnam and got captured early on. On this point Trump was right. I like guys who don’t get captured. John McCain’s life is the “Peter Principle”.

    McCain’s remarks are of one with another icon of the media Wolf Blitzer:
    “These sinister accusations rest solely on a few unspecified and unsubstantiated associations of members of Huma’s family, none of which have been shown to harm or threaten the United States in any way. These attacks on Huma have no logic, no basis, and no merit. And they need to stop now.”
    See Wolf Blitzer’s remarks on Huma’s Muslim Brotherhood ties on Youtube.

    I’ve found Ms. Abedin’s high position strange in the extreme from a security position, given her family’s connections. I’ve known people who have been questioned by the FBI because their third cousin twice removed was a communist back in 1960, so how she’s reached such a position, well, I guess somebody moved a mountain for her.

    The papers from the MB back last century said they would destroy the “miserable *house* from within.”
    huma is just a part of that…being *within* as far as she could get…unless hc gets into the *house* and things are even more *miserable*.
    But there are more emails…that hc says she didn’t get nor send…that ha probably had her hands on and if she goes down, then she won’t get any closer to the *house.*

    The wild beast from satan has many ways of getting close to its victims. She has been one of those ways. Her boss is also one and her boss’s (former) boss is another.

      To SomeHistory – About those 30,000 MISSING emails of Hillary’s- here’s my vision:

      Hillary, or her operative, looks at her inbox. Instead of organizing the emails by “date received”, she (or whoever) clicks “arrange by TO”

      Then she finds the name “Huma Abadeen” and selects all the emails that were received from Huma. Then she hits “delete”.

      Same process followed in “sent mail”. It wouldn’t take long to eliminate 30,000 emails is my guess.

      I know, I know, this process wouldn’t completely delete the emails, but it’d be a start…and my question to Hillary and the various people and agencies who are investigating the matter is: WHAT’S IN the MISSING emails?

      This is such a Through the Looking Glass situation. All attention is paid to the emails Hillary DID deliver; the emails she deemed for whatever reason (can you think of a reason? Benghazi, maybe? Discussion of installation of MB in Egypt? Libya? Syria?) “extra-subpoena” are not even being addressed! What kind of securing of evidence is THIS??? I’m steaming, absolutely STEAMING. Why are those missing emails not the ones being crowed about? HUH??? Cheers! QR

        Sorry – I meant “FROM’ (Huma) in the inbox, “TO” in the sent items…

        A supportive measure might also be to “search” for keywords like Benghazi, etc, etc, in the body of emails. Gather. Delete. Repeat. Etc etc and so on and on and on. I am so sick of the deceit and arrogance and lawbreaking…with impunity. Grimly, Quotha

          Very true
          Then the MSM will come to her rescue and applaud her for being so forthright in ‘sharing’ her emails and question instead the motives of those who insisted Hillary do what she should have done months ago.

    There is something really creepy about her close relation ship with HRC!

    “Oh Huma, don’t stop now, tell me more”

  24. Jean Terry says

    You see Abedin in a lot of the clips of Hilary Clinton right next to her. You have to wonder given her Muslin Brotherhood connections. I can’t understand why she is married to Anthony Weiner, who is Jewish, and has made such a fool of himself. You would think she would not have a security clearance given her past work and background.

    Years ago when I used to hear these savages say they will fly a flag of Islam over the WH, I used to laugh and call them crazy.
    Now, I’m not so sure. Having the President and future President (hopefully not) working for you makes this goal achievable.
    People have been scared into silence so well that if in ten years you do see that black flag flying there, nobody will have the nerve to say anything.

  26. Mackie says

    Aug 19, 2015 at 10:54 am

    Is it Abedin’s connections to Muslim Brotherhood that lead to the support of Morsi, and even continued after Morsi was ousted from the presidency of Egypt, after a popular uprising that was supported by the Egyptian Military.
