Evidence That Hillary’s Staff Knew In 2011 That Anthony Weiner Was Talking Dirty to an Underage Girl — And My Role in Breaking the Story
The Daily Mail reports that Hillary’s staffers knew in 2011 that Anthony Weiner was exchanging inappropriate messages with underage girls. And, as we’ll see, if you were reading a certain blog (a blog we all know and love!) in 2011, you knew it too!
Hillary Clinton’s staffers knew as early as 2011 that Anthony Weiner had been messaging an underage girl, but they did nothing about it, according to WikiLeaks emails published Monday.
John Podesta – now chair of Clinton’s presidential campaign – and Neera Tanden, another adviser, were forwarded news of an investigation into Weiner’s online contact with a 17-year-old Delaware high school student by Jennifer Palmieri, the current campaign communications director, in June 2011.
At the time he was married to Huma Abedin, another member of Clinton’s inner circle, who is now at the center of fresh FBI investigation into the handling of classified material while Clinton was in office.
The email detailed lurid claims of private messages to an underage girl being investigated by police – and was met with the response ‘oof’ by Podesta.
‘Police on Friday afternoon came to the home of a 17-year-old high school junior to ask her about direct online communications she has had with Rep. Anthony Weiner,’ email read, quoting a Fox News article from the same time.
‘Two officers from the New Castle County Police Department arrived at the girl’s home around 4:30 p.m. and asked to speak with the girl’s mother about the daughter’s contact with Weiner. Another officer appeared at the home a short time later.’
Palmieri forwarded the news article to Podesta and Tanden.
This story is of special interest to me — for reasons you’ll learn in the following passage:
Back in April 2011, the then-teenager openly expressed her love for Weiner, who followed her on Twitter.
In her feed, she expressed her love of married men, according to Patterico.com.
At one point she said: ‘HE IS MINE ALL MINE HE LOVES ME AND NO ONE ELSE ILY ILY ILY!!!’ and added ‘@RepWeiner I’m in love with you’ two days later.
If the name “Patterico.com” sounds familiar, it should. That happens to be the blog you are reading right now. And, as it happens, I am the one who broke the story about Weiner’s creepy conversations with the high school girl in Delaware, in this post, which I followed up with this post.
To make a long story short, the girl — whom I termed “Ethel” to protect her real name — had written the following on her Tumblr blog, quoting her “favorite Congressman” as talking about “cape and tights shit”:
“I came back strong. Large. In charge. Tights and cape shit…” My favorite congressman<3
My post published evidence that the girl’s “favorite Congressman” was Weiner . . . and that Weiner had also used the “cape and tights” line in sexually explicit chats with a grown woman in Las Vegas. I was concerned that this evidence indicated that Weiner might have traded sexually explicit messages with the girl as well. After I published my post, Fox News reporter Jana Winter contacted me on the morning of June 9, 2011, saying: “Hi. I’m a reporter with FoxNews.com. Saw your post about Weiner—got a minute to talk?” She had seen the first post I linked above, and I sent her the second link as well.
Based on my posts, Winter was at the girl’s home later that day . . . when the police showed up to search the girl’s computer. Winter’s story went nationwide — and was the story that, we learned today, was sent to Podesta, which caused him to say: “Oof.”
Incidentally, two days later, I published evidence that there was a discrepancy between different news media reports regarding how many messages the girl had exchanged with Weiner. The evidence suggested the possibility that the New York Times, in reporting that there had been only five direct messages exchanged, had simply taken the girl’s word for it . . . and that, perhaps, there had been others.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that, over five years later, all this would become relevant to a presidential election.

Instead of Huma leaving him then. But what went on at that time was sooooooo weird and it is actually the highlight of this dreadful election season that is playing much a major role now

Beldar (fa637a) — 10/31/2016 @ 7:23 pmIf not that, it was some other inappropriate text involving superhero costumes. That might also have been in the Sydney Leathers part of the documentary (she’s on-camera a LOT, including in a slapstick chase through a McDonald’s restaurant when the Weiners are trying to duck her and the TV cameras).

I have to imagine that Huma stayed with Weiner because of their son. Had she not had him, likely she would’ve left him sooner . But I don’t think it any point she remotely thought that there might be incriminating emails on his laptop. At least not from her and Hillary….

CayleyGraph (353727) — 10/31/2016 @ 8:20 pmOkay, I was confused, but I think I have it straight now. The part of the “Weiner” documentary I was remembering is 40 minutes into the documentary. It wasn’t about your teenaged “Ethel,” but it was indeed a re-creation (using phone screens) of sexting between Weiner and Lisa Weiss, the blackjack dealer from Vegas about whom you wrote in your second post. The recreation begins with her telling him: “you are the coolest dem on the planet! they need to all be as tough as you.”
He replies: “thank you Lisa. glad you have my back.”
She texts: “let’s kick some GOP ass!”
He replies: “ok, you and me will suit up like superheroes and defeat them. what will we call ourselves?”
At the very, very end of the documentary, just before the credits roll, there’s a producer’s update briefly referencing the newest iteration of L’Affair Weiner:

Steve57 (0b1dac) — 10/31/2016 @ 10:40 pmIn reading back at the 2011 posts about Weiner’s teenage Twitter crushes, I am struck by a couple of things:
1) These, ahem, “ladies” are probably now 21 or 22 and Heaven only knows what kind of women they have become. I’m hoping they have done a lot of emotional maturing in the last five years.
2) Betty and Veronica’s moms did nobody any favors by going to bat for Weiner when the police and media descended upon them. Maybe we can be generous and say they did so to protect their daughters, but I wonder if they did so because they admired Weiner’s wretched politics.

The point isn’t Clinton’s suborning a pedophile for x amount of years, but rather that the investigation of that pedophile revealing the supposedly “lost” trove of “private emails” that Clinton claimed were wedding plans and yoga exercises, which she destroyed, illegally hindering a congressional investigation.
If even one of those emails fall under the heading of State Department official business then private citizen Clinton is liable as a felon/ post election Clinton is impeachable as a felon.
That is the entire point.

It’s clear, I think, already from other leaks from Wikileaks, that John Podesta, and especially Neera Tandem, were not in the possession of the inner Clinton secrets (because we are not getting them.)

No, it’s not. It’s another lie.
She was offering her audience, which consisted of people who gave money to her, an uncomplementary “explanation” of why other people might be voting for Trump = an explantion that would not apply to themselves.
There were two possibilities, one of which was almost pejorative, and the other one was they they were unsophisticated.
Either Trump supporters had deplorable beliefs, or they were poor (or worse off than before) and didn’t understand what caused it.
Is this what she thought? Not quite.
Also she didn’t say she loathed them. She just offered an explanation that could imply half of the Trump voters should be loathed, because they loathed others, but she didn’t advocate loathing them. Remember, hate the sin, not the sinner. Deplorable doesn’t mean condemn – it’s a much milder word, often used in United Nations Security Council resolutions.

Richard Aubrey (472a6f) — 11/1/2016 @ 1:03 pmI was pretty sure that if Wiener remained connected to HRC in any way there would be trouble down the road for her.
He’s that kind of guy. Boy, they didn’t size up that threat very well.
I have reason to believe that, back in the day, there were a number of lady friends ready to tell their tale, and the story of that side of Weiner would, inevitably have emerged, there was never any stopping it and there was only timing to quibble with. But none of us, to my knowledge, have ever been satisfied about who was behind the *phony* teenager accounts and that person’s actual motives.
I still wonder about it from time to time. I still don’t know if the account trailing him on twitter in various guises (eventually morphing into a teen of woe in talks with Cordova) was always Rauhauser or if he just took over later. I thought maybe it had been a disgruntled sexter, one in particular, but maybe it was a staffer or operative just trying to get a handle on things and it all went awry when Weiner flubbed with his message-sending.
His contact with the real teenager (not to mention overall picture of him) showed Weiner had some kind of personality disorder or, in simpler terms, incredible lack of maturity, though not in the fact of his contact.
It was the way he seemed to think about that contact. He behaved like a teen at times and even aped or borrowed some of her or her friends slang or terms of phrase. Even his use of the word “hacked” was probably explained by his contact with the DE teen, since she had used that in her own twitter feed in reference to her friends typing into her account when she had left it open. He is so stupid he didn’t even realize people would be thinking of criminal hacking when he blamed his pants-shot on hacking. (And Gennette C., bless her heart, made that click.)

That’s right. A “basket” of deplorables. Like a fruit basket. Meaning that there’s not the samething wrong with allof them. Some are racist, some are sexits, others are Islamophobic, some want to deport illegal immigrants, but not the same thing wrong with all of them. But that’s only half of Trump’s supporters. The other half mistakenly blame Democrats for their economic woes.

Rev. Hoagie® (785e38) — 11/1/2016 @ 1:57 pm65. The United Nations Security Council often “deplores” rather than “codemns” things.

Deplorable is a mild word. She was not characterizing them as irredeemably evil.
And half didn’t even have that sort of reason at all, but were just too stupid to realize which party was for the common man. Or woman.

Well,it couldn’t possibly be somebody on the Clinton team, obviously, (much money must ahve been spent) but I don’t really know that it was anti-Clinton.
My guess was it someone pro-John Liu for Mayor of New York, probably from a faction in the Chinese Communist party, (wwhich may have been purged,or is the people who won? This time around, and forall the time after 2009, the Clintons don’t seem to be getting much help from China.
Anotehr thing pointing to China is that all this activity took place on the west coast.
Now they hired private detectives to destroy Weiner.
When Patterico got all interested in it, the private detective agency maybe did all that spoofing, to prevent from being discovered. Or they hired someone to do it. Most of the time they wroked for other people,not anyone in China.
I think Neal got involved when the spoofers tried tocover their tracks. They were never supposed to be linked at all to the Weiner expose. Nobody expected that tweet, which a bug in the way Yfrog interacted with Twitter was probably responsible for, and they thought also he had a real liove (not virtual) mistress. Suddenly patriotusa76 was too visible
Sammy Finkelman (643dcd) — 11/1/2016 @ 2:16 pmIt was the worst sockpuppeting in the history of sockpuppeting though. Read in sequence and in context, the DMs and tweets were pretty obviously aromatic and catfishy.
I think the only reason anyone ever thought they could be real is the initial difficulty assembling a twitter trail.
SarahW (3164f0) — 11/1/2016 @ 4:01 pmA bit off topic but …thinking…Hillary, or rather her aids, including Huma have a history of accidentally leaving docs all over the place. One classified doc got left in a Chinese hotel, Huma left them in cars.
I am not taking it for granted that there is some doofusy accident to blame for them being on Weiner’s machine.

They lived on deer in the mountains during the winter and would go to the coast to live on fish and lobster in the summer.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilization, and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals & Conservatives.
Once beer was discovered, it required grain, and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as “the Conservative movement.”
Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting, learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q’s and doing the sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the liberal movement.
Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy and group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.”
