Prosecutors Weigh Child-Pornography Charges Against Anthony Weiner
WSJ ^ | 1/31/2017 | ERICA ORDEN and NICOLE HONG

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.

Any non-royality citizen would have been slapped into handcuffs the instant those incidents came to light.

LOCK HIM UP!

He has proven himself to be a repeat offender with zero ability to control his mental illness.

[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.]

Oh, I hope so. Bet he knows some stuff about BamBam, too.

Without Anthony Hillary would have won. He deserves a medal not prison time.

Yeah, I don’t think “child pornography” charges would stick anyway. If anything, this is probably just a threat to get him to cooperate.

All Trump needs to do is...absolutely nothing.

Let law enforcement treat Weiner like any citizen.

Arrest. Indict. Try in court.

Oops—Anthony wants to talk about the Clintons....well, ok, law enforcement can listen and see if there any crimes worth pursuing.

This is too easy...

What a coincidence. The day after Trump fires a disloyal attourney and hires a loyal one, Weiner comes back in the news. Weiner and his computer, and the 640k emails from the swamp people sitting on the computer.

Yes full disclosure, we want access to all the evidence on those phone records and e mails. ALL OF IT. If they do a plea deal, the deal must include his waving any claim of privacy over the materials.

W thanks to Cen-Tejas and WildHighlander.

“What about Bill Clintons pedophile activity.”

And that is the true wild card and potential value of a case against Weiner. If he has any information about conduct regarding Bubba Billy’s pedo romps or any other Dem-related shenanigans it could guys like Podesta very nervous.

I have read on several other forums that NYPD was incensed about things other than just child sexual abuse. Speculation is that there is organ trafficking involving adults, teens and young children. I have read claims that cadavers were photographed that implied they had been opened, organs removed and then sewn shut again.

It’s the internet and what I saw as evidence was blurry. I suggest the more recent George Webb vids on YT as a beginning source.

“Weighed” against the payoffs to the Comey Brothers
and the DOJ?

or “weighed” against the fear of MURDER by Arkancide
which now reaches to SCOTUS, and witnesses and Ambassadors.
