In May 2013, Huma Abedin and Anthony D. Weiner allowed filmmakers full access to his mayoral campaign with the hopes that the end result would document a spectacular political comeback, with Mr. Weiner being sworn in as mayor of New York having emerged from a scandal centered on explicit texting that forced him to resign from Congress.
Things did not go quite according to plan.
Instead, "Weiner," a new documentary that The New York Times was allowed to view exclusively ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, provides an unfettered look at the implosion of Mr. Weiner's mayoral campaign and a wrenching inside account of the couple’s interactions in the aftermath of his second explicit texting scandal.

LOL! Of course. With Weiner the jokes just write themselves.
This would be interesting to see.
Three words:
Clinton
Struggle
Weiner
The jokes do indeed write themselves!
A ploy for sympathy for Huma Abedin - things must be worse than we know for her boss!
The “Weiner” ran for mayor of NYC because he still had about $4.5 Million left in his Congressional campaign coffers he had to spend.
IIRC he dumped a sizeable chunk of that on a lease of some high-rise Park Avenue (or substitute) for a campaign expense.
I don’t know if his campaign expenses were audited, but I’d pretty much guess all that $4.5M was eaten up in ‘expenses’....you know, lots of kickback type expenses for consultants (family members?), etc. Grifters. Just like the Clintons except wifey is a Muslim.
Whop[s- it is a parody. SORRY should have watched it before I posted
Read this article! The Times says the portrait is of one phony cold woman (and for once I’m not talking about Hillary here).
Read the article. It says she does no come off well.
Imagine what Trump will do with this come October, when the documentary is debuting on cable.
That’s freaking hilarious!
No apology needed, the parody was good.
Perhaps in the documentary, which I have not seen, but the New York Times goes on and on about a “woman who has endured public humiliation and scandal”.... definitely focusing on sympathy for her and trying to skew the public opinion as a wronged woman, like her boss. Meanwhile, the real scandal is what Huma was doing with the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, and Teneo, all at the same time.....but that won’t make any documentary.
I can’t wait to see this.
Yeah...I was gonna say something. If the trailer didn’t give it away, (”You think you know the whole story but that’s only the tip.”) the credits at the end certainly did. Produced by “Some guy”?
Remember, she is in addition to being a Clintonista, she a Muslim Brotherhood agent.
There are two absolutely chilling passages in this article.
—
Just after the news broke that Mr. Weiner had exchanged lewd messages with women online using the pseudonym Carlos Danger, Ms. Abedin maintained a steely calm.
When a young campaign staff member, on the verge of tears over the revelations, prepared to leave the couple’s Park Avenue apartment, Ms. Abedin offered some advice. “Just a quick optics thing?†she said to the woman. “I assume those photographers are still outside. So, you will look happy?†The staff member agreed.

The contrast between Ms. Abedin’s public and private faces can be striking. One scene has the couple in a small office working the phones for campaign contributions. Ms. Abedin uses a sweet voice when she is asking for money. “How was the engagement?†she says on one call. “I want all the details!â€
The film then cuts to her hanging up, showing a total change in demeanor. “His wife is going to max out, and he’ll try to raise another five,†she says flatly.

What has been seen cannot be unseen.
No thanks.
