Grassley has been trumpeting links between Abedin’s State Department work and her work for the private corporate advisory firm Teneo Holdings, which was founded by a former Bill Clinton staffer, and for possibly accepting too much maternity pay.

NPR’s report says the emails begin before Clinton became Secretary of State and they end a short time after she assumed that office.
The messages were exchanged with retired Gen. David Petraeus when he headed the military’s U.S. Central Command, responsible for running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Grassley is not being sufficiently looped into the FBI and Department of Justice probe into Clinton’s private email use. They start on January 10, 2009, with Clinton using the older email account. She’s the one that started the whole thing. The emails will be turned over to the Select Committee on Benghazi. “She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth”, asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.
After Hillary Rodham Clinton designated long-time aide Huma Abedin for a job as a special adviser working for her at the State Department in 2012, Abedin delayed providing personal financial information repeatedly sought by the department’s ethics officials to determine if she had any potential conflicts of interest, newly-released emails show. The emails do not show whether Abedin provided all the records sought by the department, but Rodriguez said it was his impression that she was cooperative and eventually turned over the material. But now that the emails have been uploaded into the State Department’s electronic systems, these additional emails have been discovered.
Officials said the new emails do not appear to contain classified information, CNN reported. Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos discusses the situation in the state.
The State Department, which has failed to comply with multiple Benghazi Committee requests and failed to act in good faith, is now indicating it intends to foster a more cooperative relationship with the Committee.
The FBI is now conducting a review of Clinton’s email account, thumb drives and private server.
This all comes as Clinton continues to fall in the polls.
