If Wiener tells LE everything he knows in return for some kind of plea bargain, the show could get....very interesting.

This had occurred to me also; not only has he probably got nothing to lose (except some extra jail time) his wife was already divorcing him; he may be a jerk but probably not too stupid to realize he's likely to be an "elimination list" anyway so giving State's evidence might give him some protection at least short term.
I wouldn't even be at all surprised if he quietly directed the FBI to look at that particular computer, not that they needed the directions but it still would not have surprised me.
This entire thing is HUGE, and a real Black Swan in my book as no one expected it..

I agree 100%. I've read he's looking at 10 to 30 years in prison. That would make anyone take singing lessons if they had info to impart that LE would be happy to have.

First let me say this-weiner looks like an emaciated and methed up version of Pauley Shore.
As to the marriage, I read that poo-ma said billyjeff performed their wedding ceremony. I've wondered all along if those two really were married or not, and if billyjeff officiated, I'd think they are not married at all as it's my understanding that clinton has no legal authority to perform a marriage. Weiner made a convenient beard for poo-ma and skankles little tet a tet, and kept that relationship appearing as one of boss and employee to muslims. Rather explains why she was so fast to 'forgive' him the first time the public found out about his indiscretions.

Doesn't say if WJC had a special permit or not.
When Rep. Anthony Weiner married Huma Abedin last year, the wedding was officiated by a man with some sex scandal experience of his own:Bill Clinton. Leaving aside the seemliness of the couple's choice, what gave Clinton — a former president of no particular religious stature — the authority to marry the couple? Do former presidents automatically have the power to preside over weddings?
No — or at least, they don't in New York. The rules on who can and who can't solemnize a marriage vary from state to state. Weiner and Abedin held their wedding in Huntington, N.Y., where state law allows certain officials — as well as members of the clergy, regardless of denomination — to perform nuptial ceremonies. Said law explicitly names former mayors of major New York cities, former city clerks, and retired judges among those legally empowered to tie knots, but makes no mention of former presidents — suggesting that Clinton would have had to receive some kind of special authorization to perform a legally-binding ceremony. It's unclear exactly what Clinton did to ensure that he could marry Weiner and Abedin, but his spokesman at the time assured the AP that the former president's credentials were, well, unimpeachable .
Former presidents are given no special legal privileges in the Constitution, though some have tried over the years to assert them nonetheless. (President Nixon, for instance, sought to keep the White House tapes under wraps after leaving office, citing executive privilege.) By custom,former presidents are offered intelligence briefings and security details not afforded to private citizens. But no legal scholar that Slate reached was aware of a statute giving presidents — former or sitting — the power to perform marriages.

Anthony's wiener seems to have screwed both Huma and Hillary.
We may yet make a phallic statue to commemorate the man we all hate who still managed to bring Hillary down.
I guess it takes one pervert to bring down another pervert.

Erik Prince: NYPD Ready to Make Arrests in Anthony Weiner Case
Blackwater founder and former Navy SEAL Erik Prince told Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM that according to one of his “well-placed sources” in the New York Police Department, “The NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making” in the Anthony Weiner investigation, but received “huge pushback” from the Justice Department.
Prince began by saying he had no problem believing reports that the FBI was highly confident multiple foreign agencies hacked Hillary Clinton’s private email server.
LISTEN: (@ link)
“I mean, it’s not like the foreign intelligence agencies leave a thank-you note after they’ve hacked and stolen your data,” Prince said to SiriusXM host Alex Marlow.
Prince claimed he had insider knowledge of the investigation that could help explain why FBI Director James Comey had to announce he was reopening the investigation into Clinton’s email server last week.
“Because of Weinergate and the sexting scandal, the NYPD started investigating it. Through a subpoena, through a warrant, they searched his laptop, and sure enough, found those 650,000 emails. They found way more stuff than just more information pertaining to the inappropriate sexting the guy was doing,” Prince claimed.
“They found State Department emails. They found a lot of other really damning criminal information, including money laundering, including the fact that Hillary went to this sex island with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton went there more than 20 times. Hillary Clinton went there at least six times,” he said.
“The amount of garbage that they found in these emails, of criminal activity by Hillary, by her immediate circle, and even by other Democratic members of Congress was so disgusting they gave it to the FBI, and they said, ‘We’re going to go public with this if you don’t reopen the investigation and you don’t do the right thing with timely indictments,’” Prince explained.
“I believe – I know, and this is from a very well-placed source of mine at 1PP, One Police Plaza in New York – the NYPD wanted to do a press conference announcing the warrants and the additional arrests they were making in this investigation, and they’ve gotten huge pushback, to the point of coercion, from the Justice Department, with the Justice Department threatening to charge someone that had been unrelated in the accidental heart attack death of Eric Garner almost two years ago. That’s the level of pushback the Obama Justice Department is doing against actually seeking justice in the email and other related criminal matters,” Prince said.
“There’s five different parts of the FBI conducting investigations into these things, with constant downdrafts from the Obama Justice Department. So in the, I hope, unlikely and very unfortunate event that Hillary Clinton is elected president, we will have a constitutional crisis that we have not seen since, I believe, 1860,” Prince declared.
Marlow asked Prince to clarify these revelations.
“NYPD was the first one to look at that laptop,” Prince elaborated. “Weiner and Huma Abedin, his wife – the closest adviser of Hillary Clinton for 20 years – have both flipped. They are cooperating with the government. They both have – they see potential jail time of many years for their crimes, for Huma Abedin sending and receiving and even storing hundreds of thousands of messages from the State Department server and from Hillary Clinton’s own homebrew server, which contained classified information. Weiner faces all kinds of exposure for the inappropriate sexting that was going on and for other information that they found.”
“So NYPD first gets that computer. They see how disgusting it is. They keep a copy of everything, and they pass a copy on to the FBI, which finally pushes the FBI off their chairs, making Comey reopen that investigation, which was indicated in the letter last week. The point being, NYPD has all the information, and they will pursue justice within their rights if the FBI doesn’t,” Prince contended.
“There is all kinds of criminal culpability through all the emails they’ve seen of that 650,000, including money laundering, underage sex, pay-for-play, and, of course, plenty of proof of inappropriate handling, sending/receiving of classified information, up to SAP level Special Access Programs,” he stated.
“So the plot thickens. NYPD was pushing because, as an article quoted one of the chiefs – that’s the level just below commissioner – he said as a parent, as a father with daughters, he could not let that level of evil continue,” Prince said.
He noted that the FBI can investigate these matters, “but they can’t convene a grand jury. They can’t file charges.”
“The prosecutors, the Justice Department has to do that,” he explained. “Now, as I understand it, Preet Bharara, the Manhattan prosecutor, has gotten ahold of some of this. From what I hear, he’s a stand-up guy, and hopefully he does the right thing.”
Marlow agreed that Bharara’s “sterling reputation” as a determined prosecutor was “bad news for the Clintons.”
Prince agreed, but said, “If people are willing to bend or break the law and don’t really care about the Constitution or due process – if you’re willing to use Stalinist tactics against someone – who knows what level of pressure” could be brought to bear against even the most tenacious law enforcement officials?
“The point being, fortunately, it’s not just the FBI; [there are] five different offices that are in the hunt for justice, but the NYPD has it as well,” Prince said, citing the Wall Street Journal reporting that has “exposed downdraft, back pressure from the Justice Department” against both the FBI and NYPD, in an effort to “keep the sunlight and the disinfecting effects of the truth and transparency from shining on this great evil that has gone on, and is slowly being exposed.”
“The Justice Department is trying to run out the clock, to elect Hillary Clinton, to prevent any real justice from being done,” he warned.
As for the mayor of New York City, Prince said he has heard that “de Blasio wants to stay away from this.”
“The evidence is so bad, the email content is so bad, that I think even he wants to stay away from it, which is really telling,” he said.
Prince reported that the other legislators involved in the case “have not been named yet,” and urged the NYPD to hold a press conference and name them.
“I wish they’d do it today,” he said. “These are the unusual sliding-door moments of history, that people can stand up and be counted, and make a real difference, and to save a Republic, save a Constitution that we actually need and love, that our forefathers fought and died for. For any cop that is aware of this level of wrongdoing, and they have veterans in their family, or deceased veterans in their family, they owe it to them to stand up, to stand and be counted today, and shine the light of truth on this great evil.”
“From what I understand, up to the commissioner or at least the chief level in NYPD, they wanted to have a press conference, and DOJ, Washington people, political appointees have been exerting all kinds of undue pressure on them to back down,” he added.
Marlow suggested that some of those involved in keeping the details quiet might want to avoid accusations of politicizing the case and seeking to influence the presidential election.
“Sure, that’s it. That’s the argument for it,” Prince agreed. “But the fact is, you know that if the Left had emails pointing to Donald Trump visiting, multiple times, an island with underage sex slaves basically, emails, you know they’d be talking about it. They’d be shouting it from the rooftops.”
“This kind of evil, this kind of true dirt on Hillary Clinton – look, you don’t have to make any judgments. Just release the emails,” he urged. “Just dump them. Let them out there. Let people see the light of truth.”
Prince dismissed the claims of people like Clinton campaign CEO John Podesta and DNC chair Donna Brazile that some of the damaging emails already released by WikiLeaks were fabricated, noting that “forensic analysis done shows that, indeed, they are not fabricated; they are really legitimate.”
“This is stuff coming right off a hard drive that was owned by Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, Hillary’s closest adviser for the last 20 years,” he said of the new bombshells. “This is not from some hacker or anybody else. This is a laptop seized from a warrant in a criminal investigation.”
Prince confirmed that based on his information, Abedin is most likely looking at jail time, unless she cuts a deal with prosecutors.
“There’s a minimum of obstruction of justice and all kinds of unlawful handling of classified information,” he said. “Because remember, this laptop was in the possession of Weiner, who did not have a security clearance. And many, many of those emails were from her Yahoo account, which had State Department emails forwarded to them, so she could easier print these messages, scan them, and send them on to Hillary. That’s the carelessness that Hillary and her staff had for the classified information that the intelligence community risks life and limb to collect in challenged, opposed areas around the world.”
“That’s not who you want in the White House,” Prince declared.

Anthony Weiner gets screwed by city auditors
December 1, 2016
Serial sexter Anthony Weiner has been whacked with big fines for the improper use of 2013 mayoral campaign funds — including to pay for a personal cell phone.
An audit by the Campaign Finance Board found that Weiner’s campaign committee expensed two mobile lines — one of which the disgraced pol said was used for fundraising.
But auditors concluded that “because this line remained the Candidate’s personal phone from May-September 2013, its usage is presumed to be personal.”
The CFB hit the campaign for that and other irregularities to the tune of nearly $65,000 in penalties.
The board also ordered the committee to repay the $195,377 in funds that remain in Weiner’s 2013 campaign account – which are considered public cash.
The bulk of the fines came from the campaign’s failure to explain tens of thousands of dollars in expenses during the campaign and more than $100,000 afterward – including to a consultant.
The tab for the improperly expensed mobile lines and dry cleaning bills added up to $1,539.
A spokeswoman for Weiner’s campaign – which received $1.6 million in taxpayer matching funds in 2013 – didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
In 2013, Weiner’s entry into the Democratic primary shook up the race for City Hall – at least temporarily.
His bid was derailed after he admitted in July 2013 that he hadn’t quit the damaging sexting behavior that had knocked him out of Congress two years earlier.
Weiner ended up with less than 5 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary.
In August, Weiner’s wife – Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin – announced she was separating from her husband after yet another disclosure — that he was sexting a 15-year-old girl.
Weiner only recently returned to the city after a stint in a Tennessee rehab facility for sex addiction.

Prosecutors Weigh Child-Pornography Charges Against Anthony Weiner
Former congressman is being investigated for sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl
Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former Rep. Anthony Weiner over sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Weiner, a New York Democrat, is being investigated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which seized his electronic devices, including a laptop and a cellphone, as part of the probe.
Officials initiated the investigation last fall, after the Daily Mail in the U.K. reported that Mr. Weiner had exchanged sexually explicit messages and photos with the girl.
In recent weeks, according to some of the people familiar with the matter, attorneys for Mr. Weiner have had discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in hopes of dissuading them from bringing charges, or at least from bringing the most serious one: production of child pornography, which carries a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon conviction.
These types of discussions can indicate both sides are trying to reach an agreement in which the defendant pleads guilty in exchange for a less-severe charge.
Mr. Weiner could face the production charge, some of the people familiar with the case say, because he allegedly solicited explicit images from the teenager.
Prosecutors also are weighing other charges, including receipt of child pornography, for which conviction carries a five-year mandatory minimum, and possession of child pornography, which has no mandatory minimum. Legal experts say receipt and possession encompass virtually the same misconduct, but the two charges are a way to give prosecutors more discretion in their charging decisions.
Prosecutors could decide not to bring any charges.
It isn’t known what images prosecutors have found in the course of the investigation. Federal child pornography laws are broadly written, and lawyers who have defended people charged with child pornography say certain types of images could receive lighter treatment under the law, such as photos of nude minors who aren’t engaging in sexually explicit activity.
In determining child-pornography charges, prosecutors often take into account a range of contextual evidence, including whether a person specifically sought out a minor, whether the incident fits a pattern of similar behavior with minors and whether the person knew the individual was a minor.
Mr. Weiner has said he might have been the victim of a hoax. The Daily Mail reported in September that Mr. Weiner had provided the newspaper copies of two emails the teenager sent him that he said “raised questions about her claims.”
Mr. Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011, after the first reports that he had lewd exchanges with women online. He attempted a political resurrection with a New York City mayoral bid in 2013, but his career in politics was ultimately extinguished after a fresh round of sexually explicit messages he had exchanged with another woman emerged in the midst of his campaign.
The high-profile criminal probe into Mr. Weiner upended the final days of the 2016 presidential race. Less than two weeks before election day, FBI Director James Comey disclosed that FBI agents had discovered a laptop with emails that might be related to the probe of a private email server used by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state. The emails turned out to have been on a laptop used by Mr. Weiner and his now-estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. Comey ultimately announced, two days before the election, that the search of the laptop had turned up nothing to change investigators’ opinions that Mrs. Clinton shouldn’t be charged in the email investigation.

He attempted a political resurrection with a New York City mayoral bid in 2013, but his career in politics was ultimately extinguished after a fresh round of sexually explicit messages he had exchanged with another woman emerged in the midst of his campaign.
The high-profile criminal probe into Mr. Weiner upended the final days of the 2016 presidential race. Less than two weeks before election day, FBI Director James Comey disclosed that FBI agents had discovered a laptop with emails that might be related to the probe of a private email server used by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state. The emails turned out to have been on a laptop used by Mr. Weiner and his now-estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton.
Mr. Comey ultimately announced, two days before the election, that the search of the laptop had turned up nothing to change investigators’ opinions that Mrs. Clinton shouldn’t be charged in the email investigation.

This stupid sexting saga appears to be cracking wide open the DC pedophilia swamp. Is Weiner singing in exchange for a break? Looks like it...

According to our DHS Insider,
“There is a concerted attack on Sessions due to his zeroing in on the pedophilia scandal called Pedogate. John McCain and Lindsay Graham are secretly working with Chuck Schumer and members of the clandestine services of both US and Israel to remove Sessions, or at least stop the Pedophilia investigation in its tracks.”
As you probably know, what is now becoming known as “Pedogate” represents not only hundreds of millions of dollars in hush money, but also untold political influence-peddling.
Rince Pribus is also a key player in covering up the scandal, as is Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, John Podesta , Hillary and Bill Clinton, and of course Barack Obama.

According to our DHS Insider,
“There is a concerted attack on Sessions due to his zeroing in on the pedophilia scandal called Pedogate. John McCain and Lindsay Graham are secretly working with Chuck Schumer and members of the clandestine services of both US and Israel to remove Sessions, or at least stop the Pedophilia investigation in its tracks.”

Rince Pribus is also a key player in covering up the scandal, as is Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, John Podesta , Hillary and Bill Clinton, and of course Barack Obama.
When Netanyahu met with Trump, Netanyahu attempted to convince Trump the pedophilia scandal was “a false premise”. Netanyahu is also scared of exposure. Trump became suspicious and has become increasingly aware of how big the pedophile scandal is.
Trump has told several in his inner circle that [quoted by our insider] “the swamp is much more polluted than I expected“. He has spoken to Chris Christie extensively about the Pedophilia ring(s) and it has been determined that branches of the ring spread as far as Asia, and are rooted in the deepest corners of both the US and the UK political system.
Trump was overheard telling his daughter [quoted by our source] “This town is pedophile central…” and “This makes me sick“.
Trump was urged to use the term “human trafficking” rather than Pedophilia in his recent mention of it. Our insider also told us the true reason Barron does not live in DC is that they fear for Barron’s safety.
Our source also had more information on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. The source says there are over 375 high profile names that are connected to the Pedophile rings. Wiener is currently “singing like a bird” and has offered to tell all, in exchange for Israeli citizenship, a deal likely to conclude. Schumer has repeatedly sought updates on the information and according to our source, has reached out to Wiener dozens of times. Our source assures us a check of Schumer’s iPhone will authenticate this. Schumer uses both an android and an iPhone.
Our source states,
“One secret service agent is quietly telling us that Trump is deeply troubled by the extent of the pedophilia ring and Ivanka Trump has counseled her father to “lay the traps carefully“.“
McCain and Schumer’s calls are currently being monitored, and at some point, they will be leaked. There is growing fury within the Intelligence Community at the huge cover up.
There is a traitor within President Trump’s inner circle that will be exposed within weeks. This traitor was leaking when and where new Attorney General Sessions intended to arrest or indict suspected pedophiles within the political system.
As it stands now, Trump is bugged, from AF1 to Oval Office. This situation is being remedied this week, according to our source.
The key steps to exposing the pedophilia cover up are as follows.
- At this time, Alan Dershowitz has the FULL list of visitors to Epstein’s island. The list is comprehensive and is kept in an encrypted file. Dershowitz lied to his Mossad handlers and told them he handed over everything. Untrue.
- Trace Lindsey Graham’s movements over the past 15 years, including any ‘close calls’
- DynCorp along with the Clinton Foundation hide years of sordid history. Focus attention there.
- Anthony Wiener’s hard drive. There are already attempts within CIA to create dis-information campaigns. What the Deep State fears most is public outrage at pedophilia.
Our DHS insider ended with this message:
“Three words of advice: Beware false paths. This is my last communication. FBI anon will be surfacing shortly with more.”

You know, I have a real problem with the "Every elite in the world is a secret pedophile, and they're afraid of being exposed" conspiracy meme.
EVERYONE IS NOT A PEDOPHILE, and that includes people in power. We need to drop this woo crap and breathe a little. Are there pedophiles in power? No doubt. Is it more than a few? Highly doubtful. But the mouth-breathers on the internet are working themselves into a greater and greater frenzy every day.
EVERYTHING ISN'T A CONSPIRACY. EVERYONE IS NOT A PEDOPHILE.
Get the hell over it already...

It is probably not much of a stretch to say that we owe Anthony Weiner (spit) a "Thank You" for giving us President Trump.

FBI turns over 7,000 emails on Anthony Weiner's computer to State Department
Jul 20, 2017
The FBI has turned over 7,000 new documents from Anthony Weiner's computer to the State Department as part a disclosure ordered by a Judicial Watch investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, according to information shared during a federal court hearing Thursday.
Representatives for conservative watchdog Judicial Watch and the State Department confirmed in a Washington, D.C., court Thursday the documents found on the former Democratic New York representative's property had been shared.
Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit asking for possible emails Weiner had received from ex-wife Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's former top aide.
The organization's president, Tom Fitton, told Fox News later Thursday State officials will determine if the 7,000 documents are government or personal records and whether they can be shared with his group.
Last year, Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl. The initial investigation into the incident found Weiner's child had been in the background of photos he sent to the girl and he had emails from his then-wife in his possession.
