great post.
re: “And also ensure enough of the contents were leaked to put Weiner in a federal prison for years to think about the time he threatened to go public with the contents to expose Hillary Clinton. See how that worked out? Weiner went to jail, Hillary and her foundation walked away unscathed.”
does anyone have any actual information re: Weiner threatening to expose HRC?
I haven’t found anything specific yet, the weiner texts did cause that comey statement about reopening the clinton email investigation just prior to the election

federal investigation into Anthony Weiners sexting has breathed new life into an FBI inquiry into Hillary Clintons private email server and concerns that she improperly handled of classified information.
That is, on its face, a ridiculous sentence. It is also a true one. As the Washington Post reported on Friday, investigators seized a computer while looking into whether Weiner had committed a crime by sexting a teenage girl.
That computer contained emails that may be relevant to the separate FBI investigation into whether Clinton illegally handled classified information while secretary of state, according to the Washington Post and NBC News. (The FBI said in July that it didnt plan to file criminal charges against Clinton over her private server, but it never closed the case.)
Lets pause here, because you may be wondering at this point: Just how on earth could the private sexts of the disgraced former New York Congress member be tied the former secretary of state? Sure, Weiner is married to Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide. But how would his junk possibly tie into whether Clinton broke the law through her private email server?
In his letter to Congress, FBI Director James Comey doesnt provide an answer. Instead, he simply says authorities had come across new emails from another inquiry that appear to be pertinent to the investigation about Clinton.
Comeys investigation is ongoing, and hes not going to reveal how Weiners emails do or dont relate to the FBIs Clinton investigation. But there really is a way in which you can imagine Weiners emails are directly relevant for the investigation.
IIRC, there was a claim that the Hillary emails that were supposed to be deleted on that computer (but weren't) were in a folder marked "life insurance."
Quick search shows ever-reliable (/S) Snopes listing that assertion as "unproven," FWIW.
