I suppose this is the gun to the head option that keeps the dirt from being aired in public the best.

Sumarise ?.... Anthony Weiner pleads guilty to at least one charge stemming from the seizure of his laptop that probably had a whole lot more damaging stuff on it.

Pleading guilty means there will be no elaborate feeding fest over the evidence and who knew what and when and all that. Just a simple, " a perv gets slammed up for being a perv" story.

Anthony Weiner Pleads Guilty to Federal Obscenity Charge

Anthony D. Weiner, the former Democratic congressman whose sexting scandals ended his political career and embroiled him in a tumultuous F.B.I. investigation of Hillary Clinton before the election, pleaded guilty to a felony on Friday, crying openly as he admitted to conduct that he knew was “as morally wrong as it was unlawful.”

The plea agreement ended a federal investigation into a series of sexually explicit pictures and messages that Mr. Weiner sent last year to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.

It capped the long, tortured downfall of Mr. Weiner, who ruined a once-promising career in Congress and then spoiled various attempts at resurrecting his reputation, all through his uncontrolled habit of using social media and texts to send explicit images to women.

It also cost him his marriage: His estranged wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Mrs. Clinton, filed for divorce from Mr. Weiner on Friday in New York, according to two people with knowledge of the action.

Anthony Weiner Faces New Scrutiny After Report About Girl, 15 SEPT. 22, 2016

Anthony Weiner, Who Always Had Something to Say, Goes Silent AUG. 31, 2016
“I engaged in obscene communications with this teenager,” Mr. Weiner said, his voice high and shaky, and his body trembling. Those communications “included sharing explicit images and encouraging her to engage in sexually explicit conduct,” just as he had done with adult women, he said.

Mr. Weiner, 52, will have to register as a sex offender where he works and lives, and he may face a prison term. He pleaded guilty to transferring obscene material to a minor, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

Federal prosecutors said in the plea agreement that a sentence in the range of 21 to 27 months would be “fair and appropriate.” Mr. Weiner is to be sentenced on Sept. 8 in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Mr. Weiner was led into the courtroom for the brief hearing wearing a slim navy suit with a white shirt and maroon tie; a wedding band could be seen on his left hand. He sat quietly between his lawyers, exchanging whispers with one, Arlo Devlin-Brown, and an occasional smile.


Document: Anthony Weiner’s Plea Agreement
But Mr. Weiner quickly dissolved into tears as he read from a written statement when the judge, Loretta A. Preska, asked that he describe what he had done.

“I’ve given this some thought,” he told her.

As he paused to brace himself, Mr. Devlin-Brown placed a hand on his lower back to comfort him and a courtroom worker brought over a box of tissues.

Mr. Weiner told Judge Preska that from the time he was in Congress through the first half of last year, “I’ve compulsively sought attention from women who contacted me on social media, and I engaged with many of them in both sexual and nonsexual conversation.”

“These destructive impulses brought great devastation to my family and friends, and destroyed my life’s dream in public service,” he said. “Yet I remained in denial even as the world around me fell apart.”

Reports of the federal investigation surfaced in September after DailyMail.com reported that Mr. Weiner had engaged in an online relationship with the girl, which included explicit messages sent over social media and suggestive texts.

It was during the investigation that the F.B.I. seized Mr. Weiner’s electronic devices, including a laptop on which agents found a trove of emails to Ms. Abedin. That discovery led to the surprise announcement in late October by James B. Comey, then the F.B.I. director, that the bureau was conducting a new investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s handling of official email, an inquiry that ended two days before the election, with no charges brought. Mrs. Clinton recently attributed her election loss in part to Mr. Comey’s announcement.

After the guilty plea, Joon H. Kim, the acting United States attorney in Manhattan, said, “Weiner’s conduct was not only reprehensible but a federal crime, one for which he is now convicted and will be sentenced.”

Mr. Devlin-Brown said that his client had “accepted full responsibility” for his conduct, and that the resolution was “on terms far less severe than could have been sought.” He said Mr. Weiner would have no further comment and “remains focused on his recovery.”

As Judge Preska informed Mr. Weiner of his rights during the hearing, he stood with his hands together before him, listening intently. When the judge asked if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, he responded directly, “I am guilty, your honor.”

Mr. Weiner told the court that in January 2016, he was contacted by — and began exchanging online messages with — “a stranger who said that she was a high school student, and who I understood to be 15 years old.”

“I knew this was as morally wrong as it was unlawful,” he added.

Mr. Weiner, choking up and rubbing his forehead, said that last fall he “came to grips for the first time with the depths of my sickness.”

“I — I had hit bottom,” he said. “Through treatment I found the courage to take a moral inventory of my defects.” He said he began a program of recovery and mental health treatment that he was continuing.

“I accept full responsibility for my conduct,” he told Judge Preska. “I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse.”

Mr. Weiner said he had apologized to those he had hurt, including the teenage girl “whom I mistreated so badly, and I am committed to making amends to all those I have harmed.”

Mr. Weiner was forced to resign from Congress, where he represented parts of Queens and Brooklyn, in June 2011, not long after an explicit picture, sent from his Twitter account, became public. Mr. Weiner initially claimed that his account had been hacked but eventually admitted that he had lied and that he had sent the image and had inappropriate online exchanges with at least six other women.

An effort to resurrect his career progressed in 2013 as he began his candidacy for mayor of New York. But that, too, collapsed after the emergence of additional explicit online messages.

Mr. Weiner’s marriage to Ms. Abedin fell apart after new suggestive text messages surfaced in August, including one with an image of Mr. Weiner’s crotch as he lay next to the couple’s son, who was 4.

After the hearing, Mr. Weiner silently left the courthouse with his lawyers, ignoring a crowd of reporters and photographers as he stepped into a black Nissan and was driven away.

[Justplain]

The biggest issue in all this is what was on weiner's laptop? There was an ongoing investigation by police on this micro-computer that may have been damning to a lot of people. For instance, i believe weiner took a few rides on the lolita express. He may have also been involved in pizzagate. Having him appear to be repentant and pleading guilty to one charge appears to be a plea bargained way to shut this whole affair up. Same old.

[onawah]

But we don't know yet if he spilled the beans about Hillary and if that is why he is being let off fairly easy.

[sigma6]

it's a major crack in the Democrat wall of propaganda... and penetrating very close to the pedo coverup...

[Omni]

I think the title is a bit misleading, a 15 year old isn't a child in my opinion. I was hoping to see a pizzagate pedo caught for molestation when I saw the title. I think in the name of accuracy it would be better to change it to "Minor", not "child." I was not a child at 15 years old. I guess it is what infowars used...

[Lifebringer]

Omni; When your are a parent of one of the children it happens to, you'll get it. Not saying that you're incapable, but I did have this happen with my 15 year old, ran it to the court against the 24 yr old male, and my daughter said it was of consent. Judge dropped case. This guy had 5 children and preying on my overweight daughter at the time with low self-esteem. So...her dad and I had a little talk with him, her older brothers had a little talk with him, and cousins that lived not far from him, tipped their caps a few times to let him know: "THIS ONE GETS THROUGH SCHOOL w/out pregnancy." Guy was only skilled in sweet talk and sex seems to me. It's a lot different with "our" justice sinstem.

Bullied and depressed, a "girl" will try things to be popular or liked. Just a tip in case it happens to others here and to recognize your children's moods during teen age years.:highfive:
Best to take her shopping, get her to stand in front of a full length mirror, then make plans to make herself comfortable or happy with her body shape. A few diet tips on losing the fatty fried foods, and she's good to go in confidence as long as you don't put the fatty fried foods in the grocery list. Lots of tropical juicy fruits and veggies with humus are great snacks during movies and help them to learn to be healthy.
BOT
Anthony should have known better with a name like weiner. LOL. Is he related to Oscar Meyer Weiner? Couldn't have happened to a more egotistical idiot. He's sick because he's chosen to be on the dark side with children and sex. NO sickness unless he too, was molested at an early age. Who knows, it may have been the parents request to submit their children to these sick and depraved sets, as part of initiation? I think they need to be thoroughly followed around in life if they are repeats like This "faux Zoro/Carlos." He even used another's nationality to make it appear it's a latin fellow that's perverted instead of "Zionist Askenazi perversion/wierdism."
I'm :confused:sorry guys and gals but I can't help but notice the "bedroom preferences" reaching into our kindergarten and 1st grade lessons and it's really starting to piss me off. Parents shouldn't have to discuss, OTHER couples sexual preferences at such a young age:blackwidow:
To put that on their mind, when they are not in that family or emotionally ready, can traumatize them. A child should be allowed to be a child, without grown up hangups/sex talk as subject.:blackwidow: What's wrong with puberty. It's worked all these years, millenia, centuries. Now all of a sudden it's "sex rm k-12" or "we're here, we're queer" in the class. God I'm at my wits end with commercials and open affection between same sex in front of the children publicly, causing us to have to explain this whack arse situation that shouldn't be discussed until a "period/menses or whack-off masterbation session begins in puberty.:silent:
I just think it's trying to recruit or tempt others to be different from this sinful world of hate.

Weiner's pleading out to a single charge keeps all the collateral damage to Hillary Clinton, his wife and Hillary's chief of staff Huma and the Democratic Party from coming to light in a courtroom. It's a get out of jail free card to everyone else involved not only in pedogate but in what transpired in the run up to the election.

[Whiskey_Mystic]

If there was dirt on others in the Washington pedo-ring, I would have thought this was the time at which Weiner would have bargained to turn on them in exchange for immunity. He's a small fish compared to others that are likely involved. But then, there would need to exist a prosecuting body that is free from corruption and I don't think we have that. Does anybody? Seriously asking here.

And this brings us to this. I'd like to point out a mistake in how this is consistently discussed on Avalon. There is a pattern of associating the pedo-ring that most of us are sure exists with The Democrats. The ring that I have been looking at for the last 20 years has no party affiliation and is part of a web that spans the globe, but is mostly based in the U.S. and Europe. It is, among other things, a means of blackmail and control.

It is a bi-partisan evil. Associating it with one side is to fall into another control game. Let's not be pawns.

Yes, I keep preaching about not taking sides. I keep doing this because...

Onawah, unfortunately I think it's the exact opposite. He probably is being let off easy because he refused to spill the real beans and is agreeing to be the Patsy in this instance....the bigger fish will be left alone.

[pyrangello]

From Caravan to midnight to zeta talk, some of the connect the dots info : When Comey from the FBI was fired, why did they do it when he was out of town? Because all of Comeys records were retrieved before he could have a chance to do what he wanted with them thus leaves open the door for the investigation beyond Weiner. One story I read was that the New York Detectives were so disturbed at what they saw on weiners laptop that they stated if the justice department doesn't do anything , they will ! And now finally Kissinger showing up on a surprise visit to the white house last week. Can't believe this guy is still around but buzz word is many people are not letting go of this pedogate and frankly we should never let go of this for the sake of these kids who can't protect themselves besides a moral value as a human being, society and god . Many are shaking in their boots because the info on wieners laptop didn't get sealed up and now it may be open season, Suggestions that Kissinger is offering some sacrificial lambs here to satisfy the public.Doubt it going away ever, this is too appalling all the way around.And this may explain the fish frenzie about russians , trump, impeachment blah, blah , blah ba blah. The true pieces of shxx are in a state of panic as to whats next!

Omni; When your are a parent of one of the children it happens to, you'll get it.

I don't think having a kid would change my definition of a child. A 15 year old is almost an adult, not a child in my opinion. It doesn't make the actions ok obviously. I just think infowars named the video a bit over-sensational. That's my opinion, go ahead and denigrate it all you want it isn't going to change.

If Bill or anyone else with editing access to thread titles wants to do so, that's perfectly fine with me.

[Flash]

legally a fifteen years old is a child - guys 18 years old going out with 15 years old have been put on pedophile list for god sake, why not a forty something one?

Also, brain development does not stop before 21, at fifteen the brain is immature, and coupled with raging new hormones to which brain and body must adjust, a fifteen years old judgment and reasoning abilities are usually far from what they will be a few years later.

So to me, because of the above, a fifteen years old is a child, and a very easy one to manipulate by old jerks.

Weiner's (God I love when a character's name foreshadows events) laptop had child porn, top secret data from State Dept and campaign information. Per the NYPD dectives the information contained regarding all three arenas had indictable actions for both Huma and Weiner.

A grown man who preys on 15 year olds is a sick bastard, a pervert to be sure.

[onawah]

It depends very much on the child, and the soul age of the child.
But most minors at 15 years of age can be fooled or manipulated if the predator is skilled enough, as they simply don't have enough worldly experience at that age to have good judgement when it comes to the adult world.

Ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner sentenced to 21 months in jail for sexting with minor (https://www.rt.com/usa/404526-weiner-sentenced-prison-texts/)

Former New York Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner was sentenced to 21 months in prison after he pleaded guilty in May to sending obscene material to a minor. At the time he was married to Hillary Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin.

Weiner, 53, will be required to register as a sex offender, and must report to prison by November 6.

The judge said that after his 21-month sentence is served, Weiner must undergo internet monitoring and have no contact with his victim. He must also enroll in a sex-offender treatment program.

Speaking before the judge on Monday, Weiner called his crime “rock bottom,” saying he was “a very sick man for a very long time.”

Weiner faced up to a decade in prison after a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina revealed last year that she and Weiner exchanged (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3790824/Anthony-Weiner-carried-months-long-online-sexual-relationship-troubled-15-year-old-girl-telling-hard-asking-dress-school-girl-outfits-pressing-engage-rape-fantasies.html) explicit messages for months, and that at one point he asked her to film herself undressing.

Weiner’s lawyers argued that the former congressman acted out of the “depths of an uncontrolled sickness” and was now being treated, and asked that he be sentenced to probation rather than jail.

On Monday, Weiner cried as his sentence was announced by US District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan, New York.

8:06 AM - 25 Sep 2017 59 replies 88 retweets 178 likes Weiner resigned as a congressman in 2011, after it was revealed that he had exchanged explicit messages with multiple adult women, while married to Abedin. Two years later, he dropped out of the New York mayoral race, when it emerged that he had continued sending lewd messages to other women.

The former congressman married Abedin in 2010 in a ceremony officiated by former President Bill Clinton. Abedin served as a top aide for Hillary Clinton through her time as US secretary of state and later through Clinton’s 2016 presidential run.

“What I want to say is I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him, and as I have said from the beginning, we are moving forward,” Abedin said in 2013 after the series of sexting scandals.

However, two years later she announced she was leaving him, after the New York Post published (https://t.co/f2C7tn1yoy) a story about more explicit texts the politician sent that year, with one photo showing Weiner in his boxer briefs while in bed with his toddler son by his side.

A year later, the FBI and New York Police Department launched an investigation into Weiner after a 15-year-old girl told the Daily Mail the former politician had sent her lewd messages.

The investigation into Weiner’s exchanges with a North Carolina high school student led to the discovery of Abedin’s emails with Hillary Clinton when she was secretary of state, on Weiner’s laptop. This prompted the former head of the FBI, James Comey, to announce that the agency was reopening its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Clinton later said Comey’s announcement in the final days of the 2016 presidential race contributed to her loss to Donald Trump.
