Evidently Huma Abedin no longer a 'key and essential employee'
[Free Beacon] Top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin has not been on Clinton’s campaign plane for the last three days, CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin reported Monday.

Baldwin said Abedin was like a "surrogate daughter" to Clinton and that the two are exceptionally close. She then asked CNN correspondent Dana Bash whether she knew why Abedin has not been present on the campaign plane.

"We don’t know exactly why, except I don’t think it would be a bridge too far to have informed speculation that she has now become such a huge part of the story because the only reason why we’re discussing this [email scandal] is because of a computer that her estranged husband allegedly had her emails on it," Bash said.

"So that is no question [a] big part of the reason. Maybe she’s also dealing with her lawyers. We’re just not sure," Bash continued

Bash said that she agreed with Baldwin’s characterization of Abedin as Clinton’s "second daughter."

"I don’t think you can overstate how close these two are and second daughter is just sort of one aspect. I think she’s‐her official role is Hillary Clinton’s right-hand woman, but it’s not just hand: it’s arm, it’s brain, it’s everything," Bash said. "She is the person who thinks what Hillary Clinton is going to think before she thinks it and makes things happen for her, and that’s how close they are and have been for years and years and years."

Abedin was pushed back into the public spotlight on Friday when FBI Director James Comey informed Congress that the bureau had discovered new emails related to Clinton’s previous investigation into her email use as secretary of state. Federal and local law enforcement had been investigating Abedin’s estranged husband and former Congressman Anthony Weiner (D., N.Y.) when they discovered pertinent emails on Weiner’s devices, some of which Abedin used as well, the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.

Federal and local law enforcement officials have been investigating Anthony Weiner since last month over reports that he sent sexually explicit text messages and photos to a 15-year-old girl, which was first revealed by the Daily Mail.

News surfaced Friday afternoon that the FBI would revisit its investigation into Clinton’s email practices.

"In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation," Comey wrote in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation."

#1 Maybe she's taking a very long stroll in Ft. Marcy park.

#3 Huma can't be allowed to be asked questions in these final campaign days, from now on she can only take the 5th while Hillary drinks a 5th.

As one see's CNN reporters are speaking on behalf of Huma and Hillary so this further cements CNN's roll as the DNC's Information Ministry.

CNN reporters say "Abedin was like a surrogate daughter" but no mention of Bill's black son back up in them hills of Little Rock.

#4 One consort is pretty much the same as any other at this point, eh, Hil?

#5 Actually, seeing how inconvenient people with email accounts can be, I bet Hil goes for a service animal instead from here on out...

#6 Breaking up is always hard when your significant other is also a Muslim brotherhood agent and your defacto chief administrative gofer. That she just ruined your coronation is more than annoying, it's potentially fatal in any national park.

Do you have any idea how jealous that makes the folks at ABC, NBC and CBS?

#8 Since her internship Huma has been a true believer in all things Hillary. She is also a true believer in the Islamic Brotherhood and Wahhabis. He Clinton arranged marriage is a farce, and she will do whatever it takes to be at Hillary's side, including marrying a pedophile. Now that it has gone to hell she will have to do whatever it takes to protect Hillary and more importantly protect the nation and family she is truly working for. I expect this suicide to be the only self induced on of all the Hillary associate suicides. She will either take the fall for her or kill herself early. She is too loyal.

#9 My suspicion is she is either:
1)in a safe house protected by MB bodyguards.
or
2)buried right next to Jimmy Hoffa.

#11 I saw her walking in Ft. Marcy Park the other day, actually, it was early evening... Why do you ask, is she missing?

#12 Wasn't doing some late night research at the Clinton Library?

She was front and center not too long ago, had her all dressed up, gave her a lot of camera time.
