private server]

Hillary Clinton’s most-trusted ally was worried about her boss’ use of a
private e-mail server after Clinton missed an important phone meeting with
a “foreign minister” because her e-mail confirming the call went to her
spam folder, according to documents released Wednesday.

“She missed the call because . . . I never got the e-mail giving us the
signoff to do it [the meeting]. So she wasn’t able to do her job, do what
she needed to do,” Huma Abedin testified Tuesday during a deposition in a
lawsuit filed by a government watchdog.

Abedin, Clinton’s top aide when she was secretary of state, was also asked
about an e-mail she sent to Clinton in November 2010 raising concerns about
the server.

“We should talk about putting you on state [department] e-mail or releasing
your e-mail address to the department so you are not going to spam,” Abedin
recommended after the meeting fiasco.

“I remember looking for solutions whenever there were challenges with
communications,” Abedin said under questioning by lawyers from Judicial
Watch, which sued the State Department for access to Clinton’s e-mails.

Abedin said she wrote the ­e-mail after Clinton complained about the missed
meeting with the unidentified foreign minister.

“My response would have been, here are some suggestions. She clearly missed
the window in this exchange,” Abedin testified.

Abedin, wife of ex-US Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) and vice-chair of
Clinton’s presidential campaign, also said she was “frustrated back at the
fact that I wasn’t getting her messages” from the server in the basement of
the Clinton’s Chappaqua home.

Asked about Clinton’s response to her recommendation, Abedin said she could
not remember any.

“I don’t recall any response . . . we just proceeded with business the way
it was before,” she said, acknowledging that Clinton continued to use only
the single private e-mail account for both personal and public messaging
throughout her tenure at State.

Abedin was also grilled over Clinton’s e-mailed statement

obtained by Judicial Watch that she didn’t “want any risk of the personal
being accessible,” a reference to Clinton’s reason for exclusively using
the private server.

Asked if she thought Clinton wanted her e-mails private to circumvent
Freedom of Information laws, Abedin replied, “I absolutely do not believe
that. No.”

Abedin — who has been so close to Clinton that she is described as being
like a second daughter — also distanced herself from the creation of the
server.

“I wasn’t involved in the setting up of the server,” she said.

Team Hillary maintains that Clinton did nothing illegal, although she has
apologized and said the server was a mistake.
