The enigma of Huma

"During the Obama Administration, the name Huma Aberdin has come into focus for many of us. And just like that, she has become one of the more powerful women in Washington."

No, as tempting as it might be, I will not be making fun of Huma's husband. Neither his name nor his actions. That would be a bit tawdry, even for this blog! There is so much more to Huma which is interesting. So much more which is a mystery. So much more which is an enigma.

During the Obama Administration, the name Huma Aberdin has come into focus for many of us. And just like that, she has become one of the more powerful women in Washington. How has that happened? Now that, is a question being asked by many, including some conspiracy theorists.

My former Congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, got in some hot water over this woman. In my book there was nothing for her to get in hot water for. But by the time she started asking questions about Huma, many on Capitol Hill were out to discredit Ms. Bachmann for just about anything she said or did.

It all started when Michele asked a very simple question during a hearing. How did Huma Aberdin get a very high level security clearance to work in the bowels of the State Department when both her parents are alleged to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood? Now that - is a very good question! However, rather than focusing in on that question (which still remains open in my book), the press instead told Michele Bachmann to shut up, sit down, and put on a tin foil hat. 

Then there is the matter of her marriage. Again, it is alleged Huma's mother is very strict in her Muslim faith. That she believes strongly in Sharia Law. With that in mind, how in the world could a woman raised in this orthodox way, marry a Jewish man? Many of the true believers in Islam have very little time for Jews. Some even hate the Jewish people. 

Could it be (now I will put on my tin foil hat) that Huma married Anthony Weiner because he was a sitting Congressman from New York's 9th Congressional District? That having access to our Congress through her husband trump the fact he was Jewish? I don't know. I do however know this much. After having a high level security clearance myself for many years, questions like parents lineage and unusual aspects of a marriage often come into play when passing the final clearance test. 

It does seem fitting that with all the baggage Hillary Clinton now has, getting one more bag from the Huma situation seems quite appropriate. Hillary is in knee deep with this woman - and at times her mother. In fact, Hillary has even taken Huma's mother with her on official State Department business (huh?). Yes sports fans, a woman who is said to have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, traveling with our Secretary of State on official business.

If this whole thing smells a bit to you, join the club. In fact, the odor is fitting right in with the odor of all the other Clinton scandals. Keep one thing in mind. If Hillary gets into the White House, so does Huma. That type of access is even better than the access Huma had through her (now to be former) husband. Just saying...
