Trump Inserts Weiner into Clinton E-mail Controversy

Trump took aim at Hillary Clinton through her personal aide Huma Abedin (left) last night in Boston.
Trump told the crowd that Huma is a security risk because she's married to Anthony Weiner (center), who Trump says he knows well and is a "perv", a "bad guy", and "one of the greatest sleazeballs of our times".

I agree with Trump when it comes to Weiner's character, but I don't share his view that since Huma is married to Weiner she must by default be sharing secret government information with him. They're separate people.
I don't think it's a given that all men with security clearances share secret info with their professional wives, nor that all women with security clearances share secret info with their professional husbands. Trump can't possibly know one way or the other, but he said he doesn't think there's even a 5% chance that Huma isn't sharing secrets with her pervy husband.
In any event -- pulling the Weiner speculation out of the equation -- whether security was breached between Clinton and Huma via private email accounts and servers is part of the ongoing Clinton email investigation. Huma is one of two Clinton aides who was ordered to turn over her emails to the Fed.
Huma Abedin has been a target for conservatives looking to bring down Clinton for a long time. Over the years, I can recall Michele Bachman and others calling for inquiries and investigations on a few different fronts:
- The fact that Huma Abedin got government security clearance when her family is reportedly affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
- The fact that Huma Abedin got a government leave-payout of $30k.
- The fact that Huma Abedin continued to maintain a government security clearance after Clinton left Sec of State office and while Huma was also working part time for a private firm whose leader has ties to the Clinton Foundation...
Huma Abedin has never been charged with any crimes or policy violations, as far as I know. While she's been questioned/attacked by some, her professionalism, patriotism and character have been defended by many politicians on The Hill -- most notably and fiercely by Az. Republican Senator John McCain who's known her professionally for over 10 years.
Anyway, if recent patterns hold true, I expect other GOP candidates to follow Trump's lead and to see/ hear more about Huma Abedin and probably Weiner for awhile.
