Even without the help of Donald TrumpDonald TrumpSenate Dems’ campaign arm pauses spending in key Ohio Senate race: report Trump’s popularity with African-American voters polling at zero Report: Trump campaign CEO was accused of sexual harassment MORE and his tweets, that have no basis in fact, a story that has the salaciousness of Weiner’s history, and more photos of him in his tighty whiteys, is irresistible to those who have nothing better to do than to hang out on social media and judge others. “She did not want this to be another distraction for Hillary”, a friend said.
After working for Democratic Voice of Burma in Thailand, she ended up in New York City.
Abedin, now vice chairwoman of the campaign, served on both of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns – a mark of loyalty and trust that Clinton prizes – and is often referred to as a surrogate daughter. Her parents were scholars – her father from India and her mother from Pakistan.
It’s time to be done with “Carlos Danger” and time to be done with trying to hold political wives responsible for the sins of their husbands.
Ms Abedin often travels with the Clinton campaign. She is widely expected to play an important role in a Clinton administration if the Democrat is elected president. Abedin is now officially separated from her husband, ending (at least temporarily) a marriage that has been scrutinised in public for years.
Hillary Clinton’s campaign has enough headaches. She drew criticism and allegations of impropriety for outside employment while she was a staffer at the State Department.
Abedin is Clinton’s most well known aide.
In one exchange when Clinton was secretary of state, then-Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band asked Abedin to facilitate a meeting between Clinton and the crown prince of Bahrain.
The latest sexting scandal is the last straw for Abedin.
Trump also said the episode was an issue of national security. Indeed, she told the newspaper that she had never met him. On Monday Weiner deleted his Twitter account. The statement from Abedin followed.
CNN has reached out to Weiner for comment. There’s no doubt that Huma Abedin’s decision to separate from her husband is a painful one and the shame and ridicule he’s brought to himself and his family won’t soon be forgotten by them.
Friends of Clinton said that she spoke to Abedin at length about the marriage and her best interests during that time and supported Abedin’s decision to remain with Weiner and work on their marriage. “I am sure that the Administration for Children’s Services will consider how Anthony Weiner’s continued perverted activity that we have all seen over the years in his texting or Twittering is a harbinger of possible future child abuse or neglect, especially when he does this with his child next to him in his bed”.
“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information”, added Trump.
Who knows what he learned and who he told?
Abedin stood by Weiner through the initial 2011 revelations about his online relationships with women. Abedin was pregnant when Weiner’s sexting habit led to his resignation from Congress in June 2011. Their son was born in December of that year, and Weiner has been a stay-at-home dad for much of the time since.
The announcement comes just hours after the New York Post published a story revealing that Weiner was caught in yet another sexting scandal.

Well, Weiner admitted he did it and resigned from Congress. While Clinton works the ropeline after events, Abedin is always close behind and Clinton supporters regularly ask the aide for selfies with her, much like they do with the candidate. I have in-laws who are really supportive.
