Huma Abedin on her emails being out there: 'terrifying'
[POLITICO] Huma Abedin hasn’t freshly read any of her email exchanges with  Hillary Clinton... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminenceand at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Bainbridge Colby... that have been released by the State Department, but the longtime Clinton aide said it is "terrifying" to know that the messages are out there. "It’s something I can’t really think about, but I can’t even imagine what’s in those emails. But I’m sure I would probably be mortified. I have no idea. I haven’t read any of them," Abedin, who served as one of Clinton's top aides at State, said in an interview with the podcast "Call Your Girlfriend." The State Department publicly released thousands of emails from Clinton, including many messages to her aides, after it was discovered that she used a private email server during her four-year tenure as secretary of state. Clinton has said that, looking back, it wasn't the best decision, but that she did not violate any rules or laws. The FBI is investigating the unusual server setup. In the interview, Abedin was also asked about the infamous fax emails in which she is trying to coach Clinton through using a secure fax machine. Abedin said the exchange showed "a little bit of her frustration because it wasn’t working, and my frustration that she couldn’t figure it out or whatever it was." "It wasn’t unusual when secure faxes were coming through that we had some challenges," she said, adding that she didn’t remember that specific moment until the email made the headlines. Yes, 'challenges' such as keeping up with the removal of classification markings, scanning, and re-transmitting, etc. Due to the large volume, it must have been quite laborious and time consuming. But it isn’t all bad, Abedin said. She had heard about a woman who decided to back Clinton after reading her emails because she felt she got to know her better through her personal writing. "She saw what a warm, caring, thoughtful, determined person she was," Abedin said. Yes, 'warm and caring' to an entirely new level indeed. Shouldn't we have 'March of the defenders of Moscow' playing softly in the background ? You can tell Hilarity is in trouble: she's trotted Huma out for a "charm offensive"...
