You beat me to the question. If Weiner has half a brain (debatable), you’d think he has at least one card that remains unplayed. Unfortunately for him, Huma is gone, and she won’t be asking for any favors from the Clintons on his behalf. Then, there’s the question of who Weiner could cut a deal with. It’s very obvious Robert Mueller has no interest in going after Hillary, despite overwhelming evidence of numerous felony crimes, and the Sessions DOJ seems equally uninterested.
With no one willing to cut any deals, looks like Weiner should prepare to settle in and do his time. I’m guessing whatever favors he received were avoidance of child porn charges and the relatively short sentence for the crimes he was convicted on. In return, he agrees to keep his mouth shut and is allowed to continue breathing.
The real question is what happens after Carlos Danger is released. He served long enough in Congress for a pension (about $60K a year, but he can’t collect for another decade). Can’t imagine any publisher who might be interested in his memoir—and the Clintons will ensure that lack of interest.
As for future employment, his future prospects are equally dim. His education credentials consists of a B.A. in Political Science. Weiner’s work experience includes his days in Congress, a couple of terms on the city council in NYC and six years as a flunky for Chuckie Schumer.
It will be interesting to see how Weiner supports himself after leaving the big house. Currently, he appears to be on the fast track to being the first former member of Congress to become homeless, but then again, it’s always surprising to see how disgraced pols manage to find a big paycheck and live in comfort after leaving prison. Something tells me Weiner will be no exception. Too bad; he deserves a lot worse. Of course the real crime is that his ex-wife will never see the inside of a prison cell. Weiner is a pervert; his wife is part of a real criminal enterprise.
Simple.
He’ll write a book.
