The tabloid headlines were all about the compulsive sexting of former Congressman and New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner and the decision of his wife (and Hillary Clinton aide) Huma Abedin’s decision to seek a legal separation from him.

Presumably that sells papers. But buried beneath the headlines and noted in passing is something voters might want to consider: the fact that during Clinton’s years as secretary of state, Abedin was a “triple-dipper.”

In June 2012, after Weiner resigned from Congress after the first revelations of his sexting, Abedin was granted “special government employee” status which allowed her to work and collect money from the Clinton Foundation and from the Teneo consulting firm founded by Bill Clinton’s close aide Doug Band at the same time she was being paid as a top aide to Secretary of State Clinton.

This was an unusual arrangement. Government appointees are usually required to resign from their previous jobs, and contracts granting them deferred compensation need to be renegotiated. The reason is obvious: They shouldn’t be serving two masters.
