Maybe I’m just pissed off, but I really don’t give a shit about what happens to Huma to be honest with you,” one close adviser to Hillary Clinton told me recently. He was irked, in particular, at Abedin’s seemingly superfluous breach of decorum during a post-election event. On the day after Hillary Clinton’s stunning loss to Donald Trump, this person said, Abedin appeared within the rope line while Clinton greeted her morose and woebegone supporters. “You’re staff, O.K.?” this adviser continued. “Staff is staff. You’re not a principal.” (A spokesperson for the Clinton campaign notes that Abedin was seated alongside the rest of the campaign’s senior leadership team that morning. Abedin declined an interview request.)

It is completely unfair to try to hold an underling accountable for the fact that Hillary was a corrupt, arrogant shrew. Without the strength of the Democratic party machine behind her, she would never have been considered for high office. Anything Huma did or failed to do, Hillary was responsible for. Hillary was the boss. Hillary has full responsibility. Not Huma.
