Abedin has been subject to unproven accusations by some House Republicans, including Michelle Bachmann (Minn.), that she is part of a conspiracy by the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the top reaches of the U.S. government. The president called Abedin an "American patriot" and added that the public owes her "a debt of gratitude" because she is "an example of what we need in this country -- more public servants with her sense of decency, her grace and her generosity of spirit."   https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/11494 Aug 18, 2012   End of Ramadan and the annual Eid al Fitr celebration (except the US State Dept) (White House archives, Washington Post article) Also: August 18, 2012   https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/08/18/statement-president-occasion-eid-al-fitr August 10, 2012   https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/08/10/remarks-president-iftar-dinner August 10, 2012   https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/photos-and-video/video/2012/08/10/president-obama-hosts-iftar-dinner  (video)  August 10, 2012   https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2012/08/10/expected-attendees-white-house-iftar-dinner  (attendees) August 11, 2012   https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2012/08/11/president-obama-hosts-fourth-annual-iftar-dinner-white-house  (dinner) Aug 19, 2012   State Dept annual end of Ramadan message (no mention of the annual Eid reception) https://2009-2017.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2012/08/196684.htm Aug 19, 2012   two blasts rock Tripoli, Libya https://www.voanews.com/a/twin-blasts-rock-libyan-capital/1490972.html  Sept 11, 2012   Benghazi Terrorist Attack  Sept 12, 2012   Huma email [HRC] concerning Eid reception  “the eid reception could not have been worse timing” https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/32997 Sept 13, 2012   US State Dept Eid reception banquet in the Benjamin Franklin Room  https://2009-2017.state.gov/secretary/20092013clinton/rm/2012/09/197735.htm So the end of Ramadan was August 19, 2012, when muslims celebrate with their high holy day feast Eid al Fitr.  Each year the White House and State Department celebraded with Eid reception banquets. Why did the State Department wait until September 13, 2012,  3 1/2 weeks after the holiday? Did Abedin anticipate something worthy of Muslim celebration?
