Anthony D. Weiner, the former Democratic congressman whose “sexting” scandals ended his political career and embroiled him in a tumultuous F.B.I. investigation of Hillary Clinton before the election, is to appear in a federal courtroom in Manhattan on Friday to enter a guilty plea.
The information has not been made public but was related by two people who have been briefed on the matter and asked not to be identified.
Mr. Weiner will plead guilty to a single charge of transferring obscene material to a minor, pursuant to a plea agreement with the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan, one of the people said. Mr. Weiner surrendered to the F.B.I. early Friday morning.
The federal authorities have been investigating reports that, beginning in January 2016, Mr. Weiner, then 51, exchanged sexually explicit messages with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. Continue reading the main story Related Coverage

The plea covers conduct by Mr. Weiner from January through March of last year, the person said. A likely result of the plea is that Mr. Weiner would end up as a registered sex offender, although a final determination has yet to be made, the person added.
The charge carries a potential sentence of between zero and 10 years in prison, meaning Mr. Weiner could avoid prison. The ultimate sentence would be determined by a judge.

That's the BIG question. Deep State cover up, or did he sing like a canary??????
Would Sessions need to sign off on this, or not?
He was just a beard that provided political cover for Huma...
...don’t make it harder than it is.
“That’s the BIG question. Deep State cover up, or did he sing like a canary??????”
This is huge but will be ignored.
Where is his laptop?
That is the only thing that really matters in this case.
Notice the date on that very insightful Tweet: April 2013
If only Trump’s tweet had been taken more seriously.... ofc what was needed was not for the parents to block Weiner, but their daughters.... don’t know how that was ever going to happen when some teens just love to find trouble.
For such a generous plea deal he should have been required to sing like a canary about Shrillary and Huma’s misdeeds. Instead, he’s probably been given the “prominent Democrat” Get-out-of-Jail-Free card.
