Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former congressman Anthony Weiner over sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl, according to people familiar with the matter.

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.

Prosecutors Weigh Child-Pornography Charges Against Anthony Weiner

Include Huma as a co-conspirator and if he'll implicate Bubba and/or the 'Beast, cut him a deal.

This is getting serious for Weiner. No more wink and nodding his actions away like before. Maybe Anthony expected with a President Hillary, he could continue doing as he pleased, without concern. May he thought Huma was also ‘too big to fail or jail’.

There is probably more of this stuff on his comp than just with the 15 year old girl.

Feds must nail him and reveal all.

He’s perfect for a rat. Give him some cheese and work your way all the way up to Molesta and L’enfantin and the rest.

Who is anyone kidding.

They'll never get divorced and he'll get a slap on the wrist and sent for therapy at an elusive, exclusive spa.

As far as Trump on this....not worth his time.

It's still about the emails.

Feds don’t give a damn about these pornography charges. Weiner knows EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW about Hillary Clinton.

To get out of a 15 year no parole prison sentence he will sing like a Canary regarding every single one of the 650,000 emails and that means he is probably in for another Clinton suicide.

Greyed out after 30 sec. or so for me.

Always thought Chelsea the comedienne would be his ideal running mate:

My take on this:

They make a deal with him if he tells all about Hillary...if not, he goes to prison and becomes ‘Big John’s’ -itch...

Weiner wouldn’t last one night in prison. The guy has a big mouth and talks tough but all you have to do is look at him to see he’s a wimp.
