Anthony Weiner to be released from prison early

(CNN) — Former New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner is set to be released from prison about three months earlier than initially scheduled, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website.

In May 2017, Weiner pleaded guilty to one charge of transferring obscene material to a minor in federal court in Manhattan. The charges stem from communications that the former congressman had with a 15-year-old girl on social media sites between January and March 2016.

"This crime was my rock bottom," Weiner said in court. "I have no excuse. ... I victimized a young person who deserved better."

Weiner was a prominent Democratic congressman before he resigned in 2011 following the release of sexually-charged, and sometimes explicit, text messages he exchanged with women other than his wife. During his run for New York City mayor in 2013, more sexually-explicit exchanges with other women were released before he was soundly defeated in that race.(snip)

Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison, and reported to prison November 6, 2017. He is currently located at FMC Devens in Massachusetts.

His prison term of 21 months would have ended in August 2019, and this new release date is now set for May 14, 2019, according to the website.

"This projected release date includes credit for good conduct time earned and good conduct time that may be earned throughout the remainder of his sentence," read a statement from the Bureau of Prisons to CNN.

With him out of jail, he can continue to make democrats look bad. I love him being out of jail !

He’s gonna have to register as a sex offender and visit his whole neighborhood. He can show up at rallies and make appearances and we can count how many kids he’s near and bring it up.

Oh, this is just another sick, sorry person in the Democratic crowd.

If he is any threat to possibly testify about the emails on his laptop against Hillary or anyone else, he has a short life expectancy.

So a Weiner/Holder ticket in 2020 is still a possibility?

I hear that Weiner’s support is firming up and he’ll soon be hard at work again.

But seriously. What can he possibly do? Wash dishes?

In New York he’s a shoe in for whatever office he wants to run for.

My moneys on he runs for office again.

I wouldn’t be against that, not for a moment. All he has to do is trash Trump and he’ll get elected by the crazy NY Dems.
