*BREAKING*: Weiner MIGHT have sent pictures to a 17 Year Old (Minor)

[vaberella]

I'm watching MSNBC, while they're giving those autopsy cases. A reporter came on during the break. It seems Weiner might (keep this in mind) have sent to a 17 year old. It's under investigation.

If the above is true---there are no words everyone. He might not have known the women he was dealing with---and that's the key thing---when you're sexting you can be sure of shit. There's no survival here. I seriously can't defend him at this point. I turned when I read how he came into office. But this...this is beyond recklessness.


*Be warned link is Fox News related.

Link to article here: http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/10/report-police-investigating-rep-weiners-communication-with-delaware-minor/

Delaware police talked with the family of a high school girl Friday about possible online messages she received from Rep. Anthony Weiner, according to a Fox News report.

The girl, a 17-years-old high school junior, received a direct message from Weiner on April 13 after following the congressman on April 1, sources told Fox News’ Jana Winter.

The girl went on a class trip to Washington, D.C., where she saw Weiner deliver a speech, according to those sources. Whether or not the message was inappropriate or explicit has yet to be determined.

At this point I don't trust anything Weiner says, so this is a she said/he said thing and shit could hit the fan for all we know. This won't save his career, rumor or fact.

For perspective and by the link provided by two posters below---the Girls mother said nothing was inappropriate. We will see--since MSNBC reported on this about 30 minutes ago.

For those too lazy to click here you go:

The mother, whose name is being withheld, told The Post Wednesday that Weiner sent nothing obscene — and only sent two brief messages to her daughter about seeing him during an April school trip to the Capitol.

The teen, who idolized Weiner, was "disappointed" in him after his confession.

The mom said she pointedly questioned her daughter about whether Weiner sent her anything obscene, and the girl swore it was all G-rated. "I guess because he knew she was in high school," the mom said, though she added it was weird Weiner would spend any time communicating directly with her daughter.

The mom did say her daughter wrote in one message, "I’m in love with you," but explained it away with, "She’s 17." "None of us will be getting our 15 minutes of fame because of this nonsense," the mom said. "Representative Weiner never tweeted her anything inappropriate .¤.¤. That is the answer, honestly."

Weiner’s office has acknowledged the communication but denied that that it was at all inappropriate. (<----This claim is still maintained by Weiner's office.)

1. Oh, God in heaven, NO!!!!!! No, no, no. Please, no. n/t

[vaberella]

4. I don't know LL. I just updated with a link. It's up in the air right now. n/t

[KittyWampus]

53. It's not up in the air. It was debunked any why anyone needs to keep this going is questionable.

[vaberella]

70. Keep what going? I'm going by what was on, on MSNBC at the time.

Yet, everyone here is accusing me of being a shill, or working for Fox, having an agenda and so on. Which is absolutely ridiculous. But whatever makes people feel better. If it's in regards to the Weiner thing...it's not about to blow over. It could have blowed over if Weiner had come out the same day when this news broke and saved all this drama. From then on out--shit is going to come out of the woodwork---rumored or fact based and will be reported on major news networks---much like when his first crotch pic was released. That's inevitable. And when MSNBC said there was a police investigation and other articles have said the same---only with the mom taking the daughters word for it has said otherwise. But she didn't see the messages.

[B Calm]

5. LOL

[LuvNewcastle]

2. This whole scandal was not intended

to merely embarrass Weiner, they want him brought down. He's a hell of a fighter, though, so it looks like this could get really ugly. I wonder what kind of goods he has on prominent Republicans. If he has anything, I sure hope he uses it.

[DrDan]

11. so you are not concerned that the story might be true and that inappropriate

materials might have been sent to a minor?

Only that he is "embarrassed" and might be the target of a misguided R?

Do I have that right?

[vaberella]

14. There's a police investigation under way. So we'll see. n/t

[LuvNewcastle]

16. No, you don't.

I'm talking about Republicans fabricating evidence. They consider themselves to be at war with the Democrats and will do anything to advance their cause. I don't put anything past them.

[DrDan]

17. I agree with that. But have there been any indications of that so far in this incident?

There have only been indications that AW has been less than honest so far, as far as I know.

[LuvNewcastle]

20. He hasn't been forthcoming at all;

I agree with that. But this scandal seems to be timed perfectly. One woman comes forth, everyone is surprised, and then another comes forth just as everyone accepts the situation. It's like a pageant, with each woman taking her turn on the stage. It's going to continue until he resigns.

[Drahthaardogs]

42. A forty six year old man

has no business texting personal notes to a seventeen year old girl unless they are related, or she was being honored for something. As a father, D or R is irrelevant, he better get my permission before he starts texting my daughter. I cannot blame the R for this. You do not put yourself in situations like that.

[brooklynite]

37. Statements like this are just foolish...

Anthony Weiner is a reliable Democratic vote, just like every other (D) Congressperson in NYC. The only difference is that he occasionally gives a dramatic speech on the floor of the House, which makes Democratic activists feel good, but has virtually no impact on the development of, or voting on, legislation. Stand by him if you want, but don't suggest that "they" are trying to get rid of him, any more than "we" tried to get rid of Joe Wilson and other Republican blowhards.

[here_is_to_hope]

38. Yeah, let him blackmail some repukes!

You serious?
Weiner did this, no one else. If he was my Rep, I would ask him to go
but I guess this kind of behavior is a-ok for some.
Put an R after his name and DU would be aflame with vitriol. As it is, most of us just expected more from one of our own.

[babylonsister]

3. Her mom says no...b.s. sensationalism...too bad they can't focus

on anything substantial...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1275142

[vaberella]

7. Thanks Baby. You might be right. I'll wait to see if any others come out of the wood work.

Because this was reported on MSNBC a few moments ago. So it's not going away.

[eShirl]

6. The girl's MOTHER says he didn't.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1275142

[vaberella]

9. I read that. However this has gotten legs and MSNBC reported on it a moment ago.

However, to keep things in perspective I will post the DU link in my post.

[KittyWampus]

55. It's gotten legs ONLY because YOU GIVE IT LEGS. Ask the Mods to delete this crap.

[vaberella]

58. I see nothing wrong with my post----YOU should ask a mod to delete the thread.

By the way---How did I give something legs that is on major news networks? I'm not on MSNBC. I don't work for The Post or FoxNews---I live in Paris for gods sake. You and many others on here are being ridiculous.

[Cid_B]

22. From the OP

"The mom said she pointedly questioned her daughter about whether Weiner sent her anything obscene, and the girl swore it was all G-rated."

That is something different...

[MelungeonWoman]

8. MIGHT being the operative word, here

If there were any merit to this rumor the police would have taken the computer with them when they left the home.

[vaberella]

12. Exactly...hence the reason I put in the title in caps and bold. n/t

[sabrina 1]

10. This has been debunked, by the family.

You really should delete it. There are several later posts here with updates on the story.

This was a Fox/Drudge story.

The mother of the girl has already stated that nothing inappropriate ever happened.

But the girl WAS harassed by Breitbart's thugs, and you'll never see that on Fox.

[vaberella]

13. I will not. Because MSNBC is still reporting that it is being investigated.

So until this stop---this is officially tossed out of the news machine. I will post it here.

And as I stated this---it was mentioned on MSNBC---however the article link is associated with Fox and is countered by Post article (The Post is not known for facts a lot of the time).

No, the police are investigating and that's what I'm reporting on. Not to mention most articles are saying there is an investigation under way even if the mother/daughter and Weiner denies it...hence the reason I put a might.

[sabrina 1]

19. The Fox article is old now and MSNBC repeats old news at this

hour. That article has been up here all day.

Of course the police are investigating, someone called them, but not the parents. Take one guess who might have done that and had Fox at the house before the police even arrived.

The police may also be investigating the two Breitbart thugs who were harassing the girls so much that their mothers complained about it. This girl DM'd Weiner to tell him about it and he removed her, for her sake, from his follow list, to stop Breitbart's goons, one of them an ex-con, from harassing her.

They also were reporting their activities to Daryl Issa's office. So his office knew that an ex-con and his buddy were harassing school girls but did nothing to stop it.

Issa is refusing to comment, so far. I hope the police investigation IS looking into this.

The ex-con said in an interview last week that he was concerned he might have 'legal problems' from what he was doing to 'get Weiner'.

So yes, there' plenty to investigate. I hope they contact Issa again and maybe charge those two goons with a crime. That's the story the media seems reluctant to cover so far. Fortunately we don't need the MSM who always seem to be so far behind the news. And so easily manipulated by Breitbart, as with this police story.

[vaberella]

35. Did you read my post? Once Babylonsister posted the debunked link.

I updated this thread and also made sure to state that MSNBC said MIGHT.

I do not understand why this is hard to grasp.

[Dennis Donovan]

47. Because your subject line does not contained the word "DEBUNKED."

If it did, this wouldn't smell so bad.

[vaberella]

57. You think it smells so bad---get a mod to delete it.

Which was the news station I was following at the time. MSNBC stated that yes the Mother says nothing inappropriate was said, however there is a police investigation into the situation. I'll have you know that the Post is basically a rag newspaper as FoxNews is a shit one. I'm not saying MSNBC is great stuff either. But when there is a police investigation into the matter and just word of mouth---it's allowed to stay.

Further more, the article should be sufficient. The moving of the goalpost here is ridiculous. Since I put up the "debunking" article---I don't see your point. Actually I'll doubt we'll see each other. I don't know what you're smelling.

[Dennis Donovan]

24. The police are done investigating - people have posted links exonerating Weiner

...and yet you defiantly refuse to pull this. This makes you a propagator of a debunked rumor.

[vaberella]

29. ~sigh~ I'm not a mod to pull shit.

And when I posted it---it was still on MSNBC. Why oh why can't this be understood? Not to mention I put all of the updates...what is your deal?

[Dennis Donovan]

40. I'm concerned about YOUR deal...

You seem unwilling to admit that this story has been fully debunked. You can ask the mods to pull this bogus thread - I recommend that you do so. If not, that's your prerogative. I can only say that if it were MY thread that was debunked, I'd ask the mods to pull it, and then I'd post another thread apologizing for the posting of the first.

[vaberella]

60. I am ABSOLUTELY NOT apologizing for shit. Since I dd nothing wrong.

Anyone who reads my post who is not emotionally invested in some way with the case will get that.

I'm not "unwilling"---I just don't trust nothing in regards to the Weiner situation.I think I'm allowed that right, aren't I. I'm not spreading any lies. I'm posting exactly what was on MSNBC at the time. When an individual gave a "debunking" post---since I don't trust the post any more than I trust FoxNews---I posted in my post to keep things in perspective---while reports are saying there is a police investigation---which could be fluff.

You should ask the mods because you seem more concerned about this post than I am. I see nothing wrong in my post--as I stated before. I posted the report as stated on MSNBC, and then updated the thread. You and many others hate the thread and I think you should ask it to be removed since it's such a problem. I never said Weiner did anything...I reported on what I saw on MSNBC and provided links. If you have issue report it with my blessing.

[hlthe2b]

28. So you won't delete a debunked story--knowing that MSNBC

repeats old news on the weekend--in between its canned prison sagas. Well, all rightee. I guess we now know that you have an agenda. :eyes:

[vaberella]

30. No I won't----because I CAN'T! If you want it pulled down. Alert the thread.

The mod I'm sure can do it.

[hlthe2b]

52. the ethical thing to do would be for you to request it be pulled.

[vaberella]

61. Ethical my ass. So reporting on something that was on television and different news networks...

Is now on a moral trip? You've got to be shitting me. Since you label this ethical and take it to some god for saken level---you report it. Obviously I must have no ethics or morality.

[DCBob]

21. How does the mother know what was or was not sent to her daughter??

I guess she is just taking the word of her daughter.

[vaberella]

31. Exactly...but don't let that stop the masses. This is why the investigation seems to be in place.nt

[Dennis Donovan]

23. Agreed...

Pull this thread.:thumbsdown:

[leveymg]

15. Indict Clarence Thomas

We know he committed crimes. Why aren't we hearing about that?

[think]

18. Because there's no sex scandal involved....BORING!!!!

People would have to think about a real criminal act and thinking is not in vogue.......

[baldguy]

25. If a man is interested in sex that does not automatically make him a sexual predator.

Weiner's relationship with Person A - two consenting adults doing silly things - cannot and should not be considered to be proof that he has a similar relationship with Person B.

[Dennis Donovan]

26. Unrec'd - story has been debunked and OP refuses to pull this rumor-filled crap-thread

:thumbsdown:

[LiberalLoner]

27. Yup. This thread needs to GO. I am sorry. Nothing in MSNBC says

anything else besides, nothing inappropriate went on. Totally debunked. Thread needs to be pulled, please. If the OP won't do it, perhaps the moderators might consider doing it? :)

[hlthe2b]

32. I agree... to leave a debunked post as though "breaking news"

when countless DUers have pointed it out and complained shows a rather unseemly agenda, IMO.

[vaberella]

34. Did you bother to read the post? I mean seriously?!

First post was in relation to a news account on MSNBC. Secondly, I added a corresponding article. Third, when the first 4 or so posts---mentioned the mother saying there was no "inappropriate" messages---I posted them as well. I specifically listed the title of the thread with "MIGHT" because that was the supposition of MSNBC, the article and so on.

People are telling me to delete---let me bring to light some limitations. I cannot pull down a post that is already posted after a limited time. If you have a problem---please contact a mod and have a mod loc the thread or outright remove the thread. However this was on the news and it was talked about---and hence BREAKING.

I do not understand why none of this is easy to grasp or to understand. I also dislike the implication you made in another post about me "having an agenda"---the thing was on the news. It was discussed on MSNBC, it was mentioned in The Post---since many of you are talking about the debunking article. So I don't see why this post cannot stay up. Especially since it directly lists the debunked article.

[Dennis Donovan]

46. Your subject line smells...

If you had the opportunity to edit the OP, you ALSO had the ability to change the subject line. But you didn't. And don't give me that "MIGHT" caveat bullshit. Your OP smells... bad.

[vaberella]

64. That's actually a direct quote from the reporter on MSNBC earlier today.

Which is what I stated in my OP. She said "might" and I put it in my title in caps because it could be false.

[Bunny]

49. This was reported and debunked yesterday evening.

There's nothing "BREAKING" about it, as your headline breathlessly asserts, and a simple search prior to posting would have shown this.

[vaberella]

65. I saw it earlier today on MSNBC. I'm not in the same time zone as you. 6 hours ahead to be exact.

So please....:eyes:

It was breaking for me and I checked the first page and there was nothing here at the time.

[hlthe2b]

54. You can surely smell the disappointment in Faux headline

Surely vabarella will be saddened as well that even Faux won't back her up...:eyes:






Sorry, vabarella, but your agenda FAILS :eyes:

[vaberella]

66. I'm utterly heartbroken...

:eyes: Thank you for the implied personal attack because obviously I am a Fox Shill. I don't know how I maintain the job of being an Obama Cheerleader and being his Disciple---while I shill for Fox News as a worker. The money is amazing I guess. ~sigh~

[vaberella]

33. Alert the thread...an unrec doesn't do much. OP also put the...

article that debunked in post.

[B Calm]

36. Done. It's another debunked right wing smear!

[vaberella]

67. Yes, that was reported on directly from MSNBC Live (at the times of airing)

You even check the time of airing. Since I was posting it around the same time they showed it on MSNBC, since I don't watch FoxNews. The article is just...to clarify it is on different networks.

[Dennis Donovan]

43. I alerted on it already...

It's saturday morning - possibly not many mods on right now.

[vaberella]

63. Quite possibly and good for you. n/t

[Zax2me]

41. Yea - the original Weiner story was 'debunked' as well

Remember 'Weiner story done - proof he was hacked' claims and threads.
Think I'll wait a couple weeks on this one.

[Dennis Donovan]

44. You don't have to take my word. Just look at several other posts on this thread...

Hopefully reading comprehension isn't an issue for you.

[vaberella]

73. Which seems to be the same 3-4 people & I keep responding to their circular statements.

1. I will not apologize.
2. If it's such an issue---wait until the mod locks the thread or removes it.
3. And I have nothing to clarify since everything is in the post--from account with an updated part within the link and the debunking thread.

[ecstatic]

39. At 17, I would have lied to protect "my man"

We'll see how this unfolds.

[meow mix]

45. the parents not aware of all communications..

this is going to go badly. exactly what i was afraid of...

[HipChick]

48. They don't have to be..

servers logs can be validated too..

[vaberella]

72. Which is what might be waiting to be reported on considering the police got involved.

If it's true he said lewd comments then I can see this being all over the place. If not---then this will blow over. Unless other people come out of the woodwork. We all know how technology works.

[Dennis Donovan]

50. *****BREAKING***** This has been DEBUNKED!!!!************

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1275975

[DCBob]

51. So why should we believe this girl? As I recall the first girl said there was "nothing inappropriate...

Then the truth came out.

[hlthe2b]

56. Even Faux admits the story has been debunked--will vabarella?

[vaberella]

62. I posted both links---one with an update, one of the debunked. I think you have issues.

At this point...I don't see why I have to admit shit. I posted ONLY reports on news links. Each links says the same thing---even the news clipping you felt the need to post up.

[hlthe2b]

77. If I had posted a link to something that was previously debunked

and being pushed by the RW in order to cause further damage not only to Weiner--but to all Dems, I would be mortified. The mods will not remove this thread unless the OP personally requests it. You KNOW that. So obviously, you have no shame and others here are seeing that.

[DCBob]

81. I would expect Faux to play this down a bit because they would prefer Weiner stays on..

and keep this ugly story in the news for a long as possible because it's certainly helping Republicans.

[hlthe2b]

82. perhaps....

though it is finally bringing their own hypocrisy vis-a-vis Vitter and others to light.

[itsrobert]

59. That first "girl" was a woman

Or do you know that already and trying to make it worst than it was?

[DCBob]

78. Not sure what's the technical definition for being a "girl" but she since she is young enough..

to be my daughter... that's a "girl" to me.

[Edweird]

68. Anything to attack a Liberal, huh?

[vaberella]

71. Blame MSNBC and the countless other news stations that talked about it. n/t

[Edweird]

74. You, and you alone, are responsible for your outdated false information post.

You posted debunked RW smear and are attempting to defend it. How sad.

[vaberella]

79. Really? I posted it 1 minute EXACTLY after MSNBC reported it.

And I said so in my post. Additionally---I posted the article that debunks this statement. I have yet to defend the article---I defend my posting the statement because I made everyone aware of where it was coming from.

Sure...false information I got from MSNBC today.

[Edweird]

83. I see. So you 'hear something on MSNBC' and then rush to post a quote and link from "FOX related"

dailycaller.com?
So, not only are you knowingly posting debunked RW smears, you are doing so with full knowledge that it came from FOX.
Understood.
Again, you are responsible for vetting your sources.

[spanone]

69. BROKE...he didn't

[backscatter712]

75. Why can't unrec also come with unkick?

I wish there was a function that would let users dump shit like this off the top of the thread-list.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

76. Accusing the mother of lying and some DUers of being lazy?

You're a classy one, Vaberella.

[vaberella]

80. I accused the mum of lying? Where...

And the lazy comment is because I barely if ever click on links to other threads. :eyes:

But people like to take my words out of context---but not only that---make up fanciful ideas as well.

[Heidi]

84. Unrec for reckless, mean-spirited speculation. (nt)
