http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/292310-huma-ABEDINs-ties-to-the-muslim-brotherhood The Clinton campaign is attempting once again to sweep important questions under the rug about top aide Huma ABEDIN, her family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Saudi Arabia, and her role in the ballooning Clinton email scandal. Her mother, Saleha ABEDIN, sits on the Presidency Staff Council of the International Islamic Council for Da’wa and Relief, a group that is chaired by the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. Perhaps recognizing how offensive such ties will be to voters concerned over future terrorist attacks on this country by radical Muslims professing allegiance to Sharia law, the Clinton campaign on Monday tried to downplay Ms. ABEDIN’s involvement in the Journal and the Muslim Brotherhood. The Clinton surrogate group Media Matters claimed predictably there was “no evidence” that Ms. ABEDIN or her family had ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, and that Trump campaign staffers who spoke of these ties were conspiracy theorists. To debunk the evidence, Media Matters pointed to a Snopes.com “fact-check” piece that cited as its sole source… Senator John McCain. This is the same John McCain who met Libyan militia leader Abdelkarim Belhaj, a known al Qaeda associate, and saluted him as “my hero” during a 2011 visit to Benghazi.
