I have learned to be suspicious of all news of coming arrests this week. Too many people with "secret insider information" have made promises that have not panned out.
I meant from news reports. The leak on Weiner seems to lay out the worst of it.
In recent weeks, according to some of the people familiar with the matter, attorneys for Mr. Weiner have had discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in hopes of dissuading them from bringing charges, or at least from bringing the most serious one: production of child pornography, which carries a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon conviction.
These types of discussions can indicate both sides are trying to reach an agreement in which the defendant pleads guilty in exchange for a less-severe charge.
This does not seem to involve anything more than the one case
He's singing like a canary. That shit was on his computer. He's being charged with one case, are you really trying to tell me they don't have a lot more literally hanging over his head? SRSLY? Someone familiar with the case should not be discussing discussions.
look at the language, it seems they still considering what the charges are, so yes, I don't see evidence of literally a lot more hanging over his head. I see them arguing about a single case with a single defendant.
Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former Rep. Anthony Weiner .....
Mr. Weiner *could face *the production charge, some of the people familiar with the case say, because he allegedly solicited explicit images from the teenager.
Prosecutors also are weighing other charges, including receipt of child pornography, for which conviction carries a five-year mandatory minimum, and possession of child pornography, which has no mandatory minimum. Legal experts say receipt and possession encompass virtually the same misconduct, but the two charges are a way to give prosecutors more discretion in their charging decisions.
Prosecutors could decide not to bring any charges.
It isn’t known what images prosecutors have found in the course of the investigation. Federal child pornography laws are broadly written, and lawyers who have defended people charged with child pornography say certain types of images could receive lighter treatment under the law, such as photos of nude minors who aren’t engaging in sexually explicit activity.
In determining child-pornography charges, prosecutors often take into account a range of contextual evidence, including whether a person specifically sought out a minor, whether the incident fits a pattern of similar behavior with minors and whether the person knew the individual was a minor.
You understand that the alternative scenario that you seem to be pushing -- Wiener singing like a canary and ready to bring down the whole operation -- is a fantasy right?
A shared fantasy that is fervently wished for, but built on nothing but pure speculation.
I'm speculating too, but it's based on my read that the Weiner's lawyers feel like they have a good shot at the lower charges.
"You understand ......Wiener singing like a canary and ready to bring down the whole operation -- is a fantasy right?"...... The NYPD found 650,000 emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop in a folder named "Life Insurance" and you're browbeating MAGABoomer for suggesting Weiner is singing like a canary.
The folder was literally called "LIFE INSURANCE" AreWeSure. Here I'll type slower:
L I F E - I N S U R A N C E
I can get out the crayons if you want AreWeSure, just let me know.
I think there's a weak link in the ShariaBlue posse...
I also think people who have been diddling kids and who are obsessed with it, are starting to get a bit scared.
I am the most peaceful war hating person, I disagree with the death penalty...but I'll tell you this for free, kiddie diddlers must be put down without mercy, without thought, just eliminated. Why do you think they don't last long in prison? I'd bet that 90% of the prison pop has been abused.
By putting down the kiddie fuckers we would be 1. saving generations of kids from perpetuating the abuse 2. save generations of kids from the pain/suffering it causes, and 3. enjoying mass savings as our prison population drops.
If you're a kiddie diddler, there should be no safe space. They never get well, it's impossible to tell recidivism rates on the most under reported crime in the US. No chances, getting caught with a kid is immediate HANG THEM in the street. Shoot them in the head. Burn them at the stake. You do not fuck with children. Ever. If you're bent in that direction, go kill yourself. I'm serious. I've seen so much shit...kids never have a choice. We've been giving lip service to the protection of children for centuries. It's time to put them away and hope humankind can recover. Because they are literally everywhere. In your church, in your schools, in your sports teams, in your charities, in your HOMES, in your doctor's office (srsly pedo pediatrician went down for it....)
ANYWHERE there are kids, there also flock the pedos.
Whatever fucking motive there can be for hoping the Weiner doesn't talk...or asserting that he won't or he hasn't...is coming from a asshole that's puckered in fear. You don't walk away from the shit I've seen on the Internet. Fuckin AYE these people must be done away with.
Gonna watch Miss Meadows tonight and smile like a fiend each time she puts one down.

I've seen nothing from the Anthony Weiner case that indicates anybody other than Anthony Weiner is involved.

OH shit, you haven't seen anything. Fuck. They forgot to email the evidence to you. Damn that means nothing's happening.

Just to be clear most of my post above is a quote from this article

Well then, if you read it, it must be true. JAYSUS.
