new documentary about Anthony Weiners infamous 2013 New York City mayoral bid that was derailed by his sexting scandal comes at the worst possible time for Hillary Clinton, ABCs Jonathan Karl reported Thursday.
In a clip flagged by NewsBusters, Karl said the extraordinary behind-the-scenes footage of Weiner dredges up the scandal again at the worst possible time for Hillary Clinton and her closest aide, Weiners wife Huma Abedin.
In politics, as in much of life, timing is everything, Karl said. For Congressman Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, Hillary Clintons closest aide and constant presence at her side, the new documentary about his sordid political tale couldnt come at a worse time.
Weiner depicts a political campaign set on self-destruct, as the New York Times put it. Former Weiner aide Josh Kreigman made the film and captured such moments as Abedin telling the camera that she was living a nightmare.
The former Democratic congressman resigned in 2011 when it was revealed that he had exchanged sexually explicit photos and messages with several women online. His 2013 bid for New York City mayor was an attempt at a political comeback. However, the revelation that his sexting habit continued under the alias Carlos Danger sent his campaign into a tailspin. He wound up finishing in fifth in the Democratic primary.
Karls report included Donald Trumps prior remarks about Weiner that New York didnt want perverts representing them.
Now, with the documentary, another chance for Trump to bring up Hillary Clintons own response to her husbands infamous sex scandal, Karl said.
He concluded the report by saying Weiner still hasnt seen the movie, and, as you can imagine, Abedin and Clinton had no comment on it, either.
Question: Has a Weiner EVER come out at a good time for Hillary Clinton ?
The jokes write themselves.........
I’m all broke up about it, myself (smirk).
Those who live by the weiner.......
you are correct........ but pumps require priming
perhaps this is priming the Bubba pedophile island pump
My favorite headline from those days:

Washington (CNN) - Senate Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid gave embattled Rep. Anthony Weiner no love on Capitol Hill Tuesday.
“I know Congressman Weiner, and I wish there was some way I can defend him, but I can’t. OK?” Reid said.
Then there was this exchange with reporters:
Q: You didn’t say whether you thought Congressman Weiner should resign.
Reid: I’m not here to defend Weiner.
Q: What do you think he should do?
Reid: That’s all I’m going to say.
Q: Senator Reid, what advice would you give him if he asked you?
Reid: Call somebody else.

Wait until Dinesh d'Souza's film comes out this summer:
Hillary will be angry, and will call Huma on the carpet.
Hillary Clinton: Where Weiners go to die.

Looks like Trump can throw the “danger” label right back at them!
Want to see that one!
So I guess this documentary means there will NOT be a consigliere position for Carlos Danger in the Clinton crime family, even after all that ring-kissing.
