Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former congressman Anthony Weiner over sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl, according to people familiar with the matter.

In recent weeks, according to some of the people familiar with the matter, attorneys for Mr. Weiner have had discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in hopes of dissuading them from bringing charges, or at least from bringing the most serious one: production of child pornography, which carries a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon conviction.

He added, while Huma may or may not still have a soft spot for me, all I want to do is eat a dozen foot-long hot dogs.

From the evidence we’ve seen, Weiner is not much of a hardened criminal at all. He’s just a lay about ne’er-do-well with flaccid morals. The judge needs to see if she can get Weiner up on the stand, because his oral testimony will either peter out or explode in his face. If the charges are drooped, Weiner may rise in the public estimation again. Otherwise, he’s screwed.

For that he’d have to register as a Republican, and that would be simply immoral./s

” that means he is probably in for another Clinton suicide.”

I’m shocked that Weiner is still alive in all honesty. The Death tolls amongst those who have opposed or damaged the Clinton’s is massive and includes foreign Leaders and members of tech Supreme Court.

My hunch is Weiner’s attorney is under strict instructions to release a damaging Vault of information in the circumstance of his sudden desth
