Do you think the Weenie was being blackmailed for quite a while?
I don’t know if Weiner has been blackmailed. However, judging from his nature, one bristling with nervous energy, I suspect Anthony has been plotting revenge on all he thinks have slighted him. Anthony has been, if anything, too quiet. He requires a lot of interaction and attention to be happy. Who has been giving him attention? And for what mutual benefit?
All this energy has been going in some direction, and not all just to impress teenage girls. Tony may blame a lack of support from The Clintons for much of his campaign year struggles. He may have decided to knock Hillary off her high horse as his final act before going to prison for the sexting. Anthony is vulgar, but has always struck me as highly intelligent. Such intelligence can be used for light or dark purposes, just like electricity.
