Anthony Weiner gets screwed by....... city auditors

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.

So the $65,000 comes out of the remaining balance before they repay the balance?

Isn’t that a wash?

Is repaying campaign cash a local thing or is that all campaigns including National?

The words Antony Weiner and screwed should never be used in the same sentence.

This man left Congress with a reelection campaign account that had 4.5 MILLION DOLLARS in it he could still use for campaigning. His campaign for mayor, IMO, was just a sham to steal that 4.5 Million.

We will enjoy hoisting Weiner up on a spit and making fun of him for a long time.
