Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former Rep. Anthony Weiner over sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl, according to people familiar with the matter.  Mr. Weiner, a New York Democrat, is being investigated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which seized his electronic devices, including a laptop and a cellphone, as part of the probe.  Officials initiated the investigation last fall, after the Daily Mail in the U.K. reported that Mr. Weiner had exchanged sexually explicit messages and photos with the girl......To Read More.....

My Take - I remember when he was running for Mayor of NYC and a rabbi criticized him for his conduct he got himself all worked up challenging the rabbi saying:  "Are you judging me?  Are you judging me?  Who are you to judge me?"  And of course he made it clear - in his mind at least - it wasn't up to the rabbi or the voters to decide whether or not his morals were up for discussion.  Well, the public decided otherwise, but interestingly, I saw the NYC Mayoral debate and believe it or not - the rest of the candidates looked even loonier than he - with the exception of DeBlasio - who managed to answer questions no one asked while avoiding answering anything that was asked.  Now you're going to see "judgment" Anthony, and if you're convicted you will have a lot of opportunity to discuss any judgments on your moral proclivities with "bubba".  Oh, one more thing - can you imagine - 291 comments.  Hard to believe how much interest there is in this guy. 

Check these out:

• Weiner and Harry Reid. The gifts that keep on giving.
• Don't ya' just love New York and California politics?  They're all such a wholesome lot. 
• Weiner. The swollen head of the demorat party.
• This boy is gonna have a fun time in prison. Even convicts have standards and messing with children is the rock bottom of the food chain. 
• No no, don't put him in jail.  He's the best "friend" the Republicans have ever had.
• Let's ask Donna Brazile what we should do with him. (Editor's Note:  I've met Donna Brazile and she assured me she never saw corruption in Washington.  RK)
• It's amusing, entertaining, & supremely satisfying, that someone so depraved is the final straw that brings Hillary's 2016 travesty to an end.
• I'm not quite sure how, but this has to be all Donald Trump's fault.
• If he hadn't had connections to the Democrats like Chuck Shumer and Clinton he be in jail already.
