[Daily Caller] The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform recently heard new information that could blow the lid off of the Hillary Clinton private email server scandal and shed new light on a consulting job Huma Abedin held while working as Clinton's aide at the State Department.
The Daily Caller learned of a three-hour May 1 meeting two State Department whistleblowers held with the general counsel and staffers for the Oversight Committee, which is led by Utah Republican Jason Chaffetz.
According to a copy of notes from that meeting, State Department whistleblower Richard Higbie and another whistleblower told of an inspector-turned-whistleblower with State's office of the inspector general who claims his investigation into Abedin's work with Teneo Holdings, a consulting firm, led to the discovery of Clinton's private email server.
According to the notes, the whistleblower also told Higbie that the investigation was shut down by Harold Geisel, the former acting inspector general for the State Department whose tenure was marked by accusations of political favoritism.
Appears Higbie in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) has become something of a conduit or 'go to man' for the Foggy Bottom whistleblowing crowd.
