In reply to the discussion: FBI Said to Prepare to Interview Clinton Aides About E-Mai [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)22. My understanding is Abedin had 3 sort-of-related jobs at once...
She was the close aide of HRC at State, she was on salary at Clinton Foundation. She also operated a consulting/advising business that seems to have existed to mostly to facilitate people making contact with the Clintons.
I think Abedin is a person 'within the zone of the investigation' as a recent paper referred to persons of interest. Several of the released emails suggest Abedin helped Clinton with technology issues. It's not difficult hard to imagine that Abedin may have assisted with consideration of how to solve a variety of office problems for her boss. Migration of sensitive information between secure and insecure email systems seems to be the office problem in which the FBI is chiefly interested.

No. But a sitting President and his aides were. His Vice President went to prison. Richard Nixon.
