That's hilarious. The ploy only worked because Weiner was like, "Hmm, sext with a minor? Why not!"

T.S. Smelliot posted:

All this talk from The Hill and WhoWhatWhy is pretty much bullshit, and actual lawyer and law blogger Ken White from Popehat has a pretty good writeup as to why they're almost definitely full of crap

quote:

It's the law — the written statutes — that treat different ages differently. That's the meaningful distinction. Here, the victim's age is meaningful because the statute under which Weiner entered a plea — Title 18, United States Code, section 1470 — expressly requires the victim to be under 16.

quote:

quote:

quote from whowhatwhy article
This is shockingly badly researched nonsense. Weiner was charged and pled guilty explicitly on the theory that the girl was actually 15. To prosecute him on the theory "she was 17 but he thought she was 15," you'd have to prosecute him for an attempt or a conspiracy, not a substantive violation of the statute, which expressly requires the victim to be under 16. That's not what happened here. Who What Why's "federal age of consent" reference is gibberish — they are apparently referring to the restrictions of this particular statute governing sending obscene materials.

She gave them a very favorable deal with our uranium. And took a 500,000 dollar check from the russian government for a "speaking fee" just before she gave them the uranium.

I still can't believe that Hillary was so egocentric that she crafted a protegee that had the same flaws in partners as she did. Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin where suppose to be the next raising stars power couple of the Democratic Party and yet Weiner just couldn't keep his dick in his pants.
Probably a technology and generational thing, Bill is to old to sext so he just flies to islands with a pedophile billionaire whenever he wants some underage girls.
I really hope that Joe runs in 2020 and gets crushed by Trump. All the people that think that he's the coolest guy every because they actually took the Onion articles and the persona that he has created seriously are just obnoxious. I'm pretty sure that Trump would have beaten him as bad as he did Hillary since he has the same policies as Hillary but somehow manages to be even creepier than Trump which is pretty drat impressive.
