while knowing full well that no one hacked it.

Yeah, he's a great guy except for his penis posting proclivities.

Weiner ultimately paid a private investigations firm, T&M Protection services, $43,100 from his campaign fund — knowing nobody hacked anything and that he’d sent the image himself.

T&M officials declined to answer questions about what work they did and what they discovered.

It is possible that even more money was spent on the fool’s errand.

At the time, Weiner said he had asked a law firm, BakerHostetler, to look into the matter. Records show his campaign paid BakerHostetler $93,350 for “legal services” between January 2010 and December 2012.

1. That actually makes sense.

It makes sense he would embark on a cover-up. It really demonstrates some serious sociopathy.

2. Missing the K ($43K) in the thread title

Rec'd. Weiner's org. is falling apart. I would like to see him out by the end of the week.

3. After his offer of payment in kind was rejected.

Wonder if that's how he does business.

4. I just read "Ten Traits of the Sociopath"

Weiner scored a perfect 10.

5. I don't know if he's a sociopath but I'm often shocked at what

politicians can use donated funds for. Of course, this is particularly egregious.
