Police Could Figure out Weiner Guilt or Innocence (the little pervert still won't make the call)

Police Could Figure out Weiner Guilt or Innocence
By PETER SVENSSON AP Technology Writer
June 3, 2011 (AP)

There's one way Rep. Anthony Weiner could show that he didn't send a salacious photo to a female college student from his Twitter account: Ask law enforcement to investigate.

The New York congressman has so far declined to ask for an investigation into the photo, saying it's not a worthy use of government resources. The U.S. Capitol Police said it would not launch an investigation unless requested.

In asking a private security firm to investigate instead, Weiner won't be able to prove his innocence by obtaining logs from Twitter showing where his account was accessed from. Twitter says it requires a subpoena or court order to hand over such information. A subpoena or court order would have to be initiated by police or the FBI, not private detectives.

The scandal, which erupted last weekend, has been fueled by Weiner's initial refusal to answer questions about it. Although he started explaining his side Wednesday in a series of media interviews, some of his answers were perplexing.

Weiner was clear about one thing: He says he didn't send the picture, which was addressed to one of his Twitter followers, identified by news outlets as Genette Cordova.

Has he tied himself to an explanation which excludes that? He likes to goof around with the barely-legals, well it’s possible one decided to goof around with him.

Why does he have to ask?

He claims his account was hacked. That’s a federal crime. The Capitol police or the FBI should be investigating on the basis of that claim alone. They don’t need to be “asked”.

It doesn’t matter what he did or how he excuses it. He is a libtard from NY and even if he is tossed out of office they will just vote him back in.

He seems to be doing all this media stuff just because he likes to be the center of attention.

Yeah, it’s probably still not a good idea to accept his “Oscar Meyer Weiner Whistle” offer though.

What we need is a Congressional EXPERT on wieners, like Rep. Barney Frank... I'll bet he could pick the right one out of a police line up...

For some reason, the libs are not circling the wagons and coming to Wiener's defense.

He has become a "hot potato" for them.

“but Weiner may fear cops snooping around might turn up other stuff which would be more embarrassing.”

I think you are right.

If he would recklessly send a picture like this one, he probably has a whole bunch of stuff that he would not want anyone to see.

If you went back and searched all postings to Craigslist personals in the Washington and New York areas, I would bet that this photo would be found.

If it ever gets to the point of an investigation, I will also bet that he says that his Computer and Blackberry have been “stolen”

Weiner isn't worried about proving his innocence. This investigation is to find out how many “photos” are out there, and who has them, and how much it will cost to keep them quiet.

It's him and his funky underpants. This wasn't the first self-photo tweet.

There was a you tube segment that showed Mr. Wiener declaring himself to be “elite”.

Seems that he and his Progressive companions are setting themselves up for very high positions in thier government.

One can come to the conclusion that it’s going to be an obnoxious, intolerant government.

IMHO

Possibly the stupidest lead I've ever read in 65 years. Hey Sven you gibbering scandahoovian blockhead, try this one on for size:

One way Democrat Anthony Weiner could show that he didn't send a salacious photo is for him to respond to a point blank question--"Did you send the picture?" with a one word answer, Yes or No. Anything other than NO means YES. End of controversy.

You want Weiner to be frank? You know he must extend his argument to feed the press and let them bloviate. How boring of you to request that Weiner make it short and sweet. What fun would that be?

It’s time for Weiner to step down, get a cable talk show, and take it all off for Playgirl magazine.

Fruit of The Loom should hire Weiner for runway jobs.

He should send FOTL some (cough) head shots to show he’s got the stuff.

*** It’s time for Weiner to step down, get a cable talk show, and take it all off for Playgirl magazine.

He should definitely resign. But there's a problem with a Talk Show ---
LOGO TV already has its Gay time-slots filled.

*** Fruit of The Loom should hire Weiner for runway jobs. ***

They do that and they lost a customer.

*** He should send FOTL some (cough) head shots to show he’s got the stuff. ***

He *should* come out of the closet, admit he's a homo, and have his Boyfriend testify as an expert witness.
Huma is his Beard. No way in hades a Jewish guy from NYC marries a Muslim woman out of 'love'.)
