Report: Rep. Weiner Advised Former Porn Star To Lie To Press, Offered Her PR Help

ethics violation?
» 89 comments

Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s “Weinergate” scandal continues to present us with new bits of information, even after the Congressman held a rather lengthy press conference yesterday afternoon admitting guilt and expressing regret. Yesterday, Weiner shared that he had sent various flirtatious and/or revealing pictures and messages to six women over the course of three years, some while he was married. He insisted that he did not use government resources nor his time at work to send these.

Now, TMZ has revealed that Weiner advised one of those women to lie about the nature of their online interactions. Weiner also offered the woman, former porn star Ginger Lee, help from his own PR team – a move which may land him in even deeper trouble.

This is what Weiner emailed Ginger Lee on June Ist:

The key is to have a short, thought out statement that tackles the top line questions and then refer people back to it. Have a couple of iterations of: “This is silly. Like so many others, I follow Rep. Weiner on Twitter. I don’t know him and have never met him. He briefly followed me and sent me a dm saying thank you for the follow. That’s it.”

And on June 2nd, he wrote:

Do you need to talk to a professional PR type person to give u advice? I can have someone on my team call. [Yeah, my team is doing great. Ugh].

In addition, he presented yet another possible statement for Ginger Lee to reiterate to the press:

“I have nothing to do with the situation involving Rep Weiner. I follow his twitter feed. And for a brief time he followed me. Much has been made of the fact that I have posted about my admiration for Rep Weiner and his politics. All I can say about that is that I’m a fan of his. Rep. Weiner sent me one short direct message thanking me for following him. I have never met Rep. Weiner and he has never sent me anything innappopriate (sic) …”

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has already called for an ethics investigation into Weiner’s actions.

    Just like Bill Clinton advised Gennifer Flowers .

    Internet Predator Weiner probably still thinks he will one day be

    This is the headline, when 5 service men were killed in the foreign wars. Well done to the media.

  • Cecelia

    Be aware that when Rep. Weiner uses the word “team”, he is talking about the professional technical security equivalent of the guy who cleaned up the mess in the backseat after that kid accidentally offed himself in Pulp Fiction.

    It’s been like this for most of the war. Soldiers died every day for most of the 8 years in Iraq and you have to hit double digits to get near the front page.

    How does he survive this?

  • ninjapirate

    I wonder how mediaite will cover it when it’s obvious that GNC(I’ll use her initials) also received PR help and that Tommy Christopher either helped with that or was the receptor of that spin… she and her boyfriend followed TC immediately when she rejoined twitter…

    What will be even more nasty is if Tommy Christopher and mediaite helped put out a CYA statements by those underage girls that was actually crafted by his PR people… considering the lies(or contradictions) in that statement found by Patterico, I find that very plausible.

    This reminds me about that time when Neil Crapputo interviewed another *star* and Neil giggled when she told him he was cute.

    Yes, Weiner, a *star* is going to protect you.

  • Steve_27

    After watching the “apology,” Weiner is much more pathetic with every passing day and with every absurd statement. It seems to have gone unnoticed but even in his “apology” he is full of sh!t. He sent it as a “joke?” Is everyone sleep walking on this one?

    If it was the one and only incident, even that would be shakey. But here we have a serial sexter and somehow this one was a “joke?” Yeah, cause when woman you only know through online relationships get a picture of your c0ck it’s widely seen as a joke.

    He should resign from embarrassment alone. And not embarrassment from the actuall incident but from his extremely childish defense of all of this. Angry while wrong is no way to lead. No one focuses on this element. These are people who are supposed to be in leadership postions but yet he is immoral, rude, angry, lies through his teeth and we’re supposed to look up to him? We expect more from our sports figures but this sh!t stain staying is ok?

    Not to mention how phenominaly stupid one has to be these days to think they could do this nonsense and get away with it. How many idiot colleagues does one have to watch fall in the same manner before one says to himself, “Well this isn’t a good idea, better not hit send on this one.”

    The man has horrific judgment, he’s obviously not to smart. He’s an immoral, lying and extremely angry man. But yet he should hold onto his position of power? No wonder even the likes of Pelosi and Schultz are asking for him to step down.

    Allow me to correct that, it’s been that way since Barry got elected, prior to that the deaths in both Iraq & Afghanistan were news every day.

    When Bush was President, they covered everything and anything war related, now that His Highness is in charge? Not so much….

    I did read it. In my opinion, it is spot on. Like I said earlier, high school girls are the worst. ahaha They lie, emotions are exaggerated, crushes and vendettas run deep. I have seen the tweets by Betty about Weiner unfollowing her. She was totally bummed, it wasn’t a request from her parents….

    I think it is what I said in the beginning. He followed young girls/women who crushed on him. He chatted them up, felt them out, and if he found dirty sexting buds, he scored. If not, he unfollowed them, and moved on. I also think he got paranoid when some of them tweeted about their DMing, and he told them to keep it quiet.

    A couple of days later, she wrote that she was “seriously depressed” that Weiner didn’t follow her any more. On May 13 she tweeted Weiner complaining that he used to follow her but no longer did. Two days later she wrote “SERIOUSLY LOVING LIFE AGAIN BUT I GOTTA KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT OR ELSE…” She followed that with “i love today, i really do” and “I’m in love with married men, #thatswhyimsingle.”

    I also don’t believe Betty’s parents claiming they monitored her actions 24/7 yet allowed the stuff she posted, personal info and stuff about Weiner. I also find it very weird that they were more concerned with people warning their daughter about Weiner following young girls than they were that maybe they were right.

    Perhaps Weiner reached out to them, as well.

    This is bad:

    The DM’s Veronica claimed she had between Betty and Weiner could be G-Rated, he may have figured out she was a minor, and backed off. But, I think, based on Patterico’s post there, that it is much more likely Veronica and Betty were jealous Weiner had moved on to GN, and others, and wanted to get back at him, and release the DMs (even if they were mild).

    Veronica conspired to release damning evidence on a sitting congressman – whether she is telling the truth now or then. These aren’t little girls….

  • Nature Freak

    I would say that Weiner in the future can start some sort of PR firm dedicated to the consultation of porn stars/ people in the adult entertainment industry, but he doesn’t seem very good at it.

    And above all, did Weiner actually get any “carnal knowledge” action for all his troubles? If your going to go down via sex scandal, at least go to the max and enjoy some actual physical contact before falling. How was this worth it?

    Andrew Brietbart, you suck, but it sounds like f@*#ing mission accomplished on your part.

    We’ve lost more people in Afghanistan under Obama than we did in 7 years under Bush. We used to get major reports reminding us that we’ve hit a “grim milestone”. I don’t recall any major commemoration of our thousandth troop to die in Afghanistan when it happened last year.

    Yep. It’s spot on too that if Tommy’s irrefutable proof that Weiner had no untoward relationship with these girls, is their parents’ statement, it’s not very conclusive and should have been looked into further by the media.

    There should be no question mark after Ethics Violation. Yes, it is an ethics violation for anyone who has any sense of morality and ethics, however, I know there are some of you who believe anything is okay. Hopefully, you won’t become the majority.

  • lane

    Game over.

    Weiner should have resigned to stop this circus. I gave him credit for taking the grueling post-press conference grilling by the challenging new york media. As long as he told everything, he had a chance to survive. If Rangel kept his job (which is CRAZY), he had a chance. Not anymore.

    You offer staff PR resources, and that’s a criminal violation since the staff is funded by taxpayer money. If the email is validated, Pelosi has to force his resignation.

    Sexting by cell phone or I phone may be the current fad.
    In the 1980′s it was phone sex.
    In the 1940′s it was a downright sexy black and white photograph sent by mail.
    In the 1880′s it was a letter sent by mail accompanied by a note filled with sensual Victorian prose and maybe a lock of hair and a pressed rose.

    tT human condition does tend to repeat itself through the years but by different means.

  • GoneFishing

    Weiner is finished. The only people who don’t get it are Weiner himself, and his blind, dumb, hyper-partisan supporters. There is No chance of redemption, and he will be out in a week or less…count on it.

    btw, If you are interested in comedy, check the posts at Daily Kos. Colossal denial, mind bending rationalizations and a great wailing and gnashing of teeth all at the same time…its hilarious.

  • Cancon2

    Hate to see a man destroyed. I mean this is painful to watch. The biggest problem here, is that it is obvious he has some control issues, but the lying was just so over the top, that it seems to me that you cannot recover from that. I get it, I lied because I was embarrassed…. granted. But the methods, the frequency, his redirecting and blaming others is really the sign of a flawed character in the deepest sense. For 10 days he lived in an internal hell, but continued to chose to deflect, assign blame to innocent people and encourage the same from people who supported him. It really calls for a resignation, if for nothing other that sparing his family the continuing pain. In this age of media, his lies will live on , cobbled together in youtube spots forever. Personally, I really think that he should be placed in observation and under a doctors care as this could go very very bad.

    The slant is trying to blame President Obama.

    Look at the media. It is “Weinergate”!

    How does that have anything with other important issues?
    In some way I agree with Pebbles and Timmeh, it has been Weiner and Weiner and Weiner to drive anyone sick. But now Timmeh wants to blame the Afghanistan/Iraq failure on President Obama.

    Eighteen is the age of consent. Do you believe in raising the age?

    “Andrew set out to destroy Weiner and it worked.”

    Breitbart was only the messenger, after others like A-Huffpost chose
    to cover up/ignore a Legitimate Story.
    Breitbart also decided NOT TO PUBLISH the worst of the PICs available
    that would have likely forced his resignation & marriage down the toilet.

    I don’t see any evidence that AB “set out to destroy” anyone

    I argued this yesterday. IF Weiner is doing this illicitly behind Huma’s back it is wrong. If Anthony and Huma have some sort of open relationship with this sort of thing being accepted I could care less. If consenting adults want to be polyamorous more power to them.

    It is deceit which is wrong.
    As for me, I have been in open relationships before with the permission of all parties involved and enjoyed it.

    Mr. Weiner seem a litlle less certain of of the ages of the women he has so far admitted sending photos to .

    __________

    “But if you think this story is over, you’re kidding yourselves. The press corps seemed at its most excited when the presser veered into the question of whether the women he engaged in online relations were under age. Weiner sought to put these to rest by asserting that he had no reason to believe they were.”

    “I don’t know the exact ages of the women,” Weiner said. “To the best of my knowledge, they were all adults…All I know is what they publish themselves in social media.”

    Congressman Weiner and the Left’s vast political machine engaged in systematic attempts to destroy Andrew Breitbart and the girls that the Congressman was sexting and who he sent penile prominent photograghs to.

    Weiner and the Left accused Breibart of lying, of hacking Weiner’s account, of paying these girls to invent their stories and of being antisimetic. They accused him of every vile thing under the sun.

    Had Breitbart not defended himself and gotten the truth out there Weiner would still be out their giving interviews saying how he was the victim and trying to destroy innocent people.

    It is a shame that Weiner’s lack of character and his disrespect for his wife and the sanctity of marriage has reduced him to a crying miserable shell of a man, but if he now thinks he is going to get away with trying to destroy these girls he has another thing coming. As Andrew Breitbart said, “Don’t you dare go there.”

    Breitbart has “ALL” of your pictures Congressman Weiner, and if you mess with him, his family or these girls he will release them.

    Hope you get the picture, so to speak.

    I argued this yesterday. IF Weiner is doing this illicitly behind Huma’s back it is wrong. If Anthony and Huma have some sort of open relationship with this sort of thing being accepted I could care less. If consenting adults want to be polyamorous more power to them.

    It is deceit which is wrong.
    As for me, I have been in open relationships before with the permission of all parties involved and enjoyed it.

    And i find it interesting how human beings adapt to new technology. We are the same people we were 2000 years ago bur just with different toys. I will repost.

    Sexting by cell phone or I phone may be the current fad.
    In the 1980’s it was phone sex.
    In the 1940’s it was a downright sexy black and white photograph sent by mail.
    In the 1880’s it was a letter sent by mail accompanied by a note filled with sensual Victorian prose and maybe a lock of hair and a pressed rose.

    The human condition does tend to repeat itself through the years but by different means.

    I think some of the outrage is that sexting is such a relatively new thing a lot of people get shocked when they find consenting adults doing it

    But let me state again, deceit is wrong, no matter what religious or spiritual background you may come from.

    Blaming Breitbart for trying to destroy Weiner is not a compliment, nor is it accurate.

    Weiner, an arrogant pr ick, was destroyed by his own arrogance, and his own pr ick.

    Allow me to disagree. The slant is trying to blame President Obama. Look at the media. It is “Weinergate”! How does that have anything with other important issues?In some way I agree with Pebbles and Timmeh, it has been Weiner and Weiner and Weiner to drive anyone sick. But now Timmeh wants to blame the Afghanistan/Iraq failure on President Obama. That is what they want to do. More bashing.

    Once the subject was changed is one issue. Once inside it, you said they were blaming Obama for the war when they were just commenting on the medias coverage of the war. “Slant” has nothing to do with it.

    I’m dirty as a man hole cover
    I’m lookin for my long lost lover
    She turned me out and now I’m sinkin’
    I’m just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin’

    I’m talking with a tight red sweater
    I’m feelin’ like Eddie Vedder
    Only twice as cool when she starts winkin’
    I’m just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin’

    I’m loyal as a dog but I’m a hog for that sexual attraction
    It starts up in my mind and makes a bee line below the belt
    No consequences just satisfaction

    Baby in my heart I’m faithful
    This two headed monster is so distasteful
    Forgive me when my instincts start stinkin’
    I’m just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin’
    I’m just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin’
    Think about it…

    Forgive me if my instincts start stinkin’

    Brietbart accomplish an impressive piece of investigative reporting. I congratulate Andrew. I do have questions about the means. If the shoe was on the other foot possibly you would to. Weiner screwed up big time. And his coverup is worse than the crime.

    You hubris is showing Sara, this is why a lot of people both on the left and in the middle of the political spectrum are turned of by teaparty types. I am showing humility toward this issue. I have humble pie on my face. I defended Weiner and he ended up doing an epic fail.

    Hate to see a man destroyed. I mean this is painful to watch. The biggest problem here, is that it is obvious he has some control issues, but the lying was just so over the top, that it seems to me that you cannot recover from that. I get it, I lied because I was embarrassed…. granted. But the methods, the frequency, his redirecting and blaming others is really the sign of a flawed character in the deepest sense. For 10 days he lived in an internal hell, but continued to chose to deflect, assign blame to innocent people and encourage the same from people who supported him. It really calls for a resignation, if for nothing other that sparing his family the continuing pain. In this age of media, his lies will live on , cobbled together in youtube spots forever. Personally, I really think that he should be placed in observation and under a doctors care as this could go very very bad.

    Not for this guy. He’s been an angry rude interupting liberal sh!t forever and this is justification if it ends this way.

    From Monty Python’s Meaning of Life:

    Isn’t it awfully nice to have a pe@is?
    Isn’t it frightfully good to have a d@ng?
    It’s swell to have a stiffy.
    It’s divine to own a di@k,
    From the tiniest little tadger
    To the world’s biggest p@#ck.
    So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
    Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
    Your piece of pork, your wife’s best friend,
    Your Percy, or your c@ck.
    You can wrap it up in ribbons.
    You can slip it in your sock,
    But don’t take it out in public,
    Or they will stick you in the dock,
    And you won’t come back
    Thank you very much….

    Why do tea types all seem to have anger management issues? You are another reason the far right is doomed to ever dominate politics. You can not lower the temperature even for a short time and be somewhat civil. There is room in politics for righteous anger as well as satire but politics is also the art of communicating with those you disagree with and winning them over. You and other tea party types have no ability in doing this and it will be your downfall.

    This is what was going through Anthony Weiner’s mind when he was taking photos of himself for his sexing adventures:

    I’m too sexy for my Huma too sexy for my Huma
    Huma’s going to leave me
    I’m too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
    So sexy it hurts
    And I’m too sexy for the 9th to sexy for the 9th

    And I’m too sexy for your party
    Too sexy for your party
    No way I’m disco dancing
    I’m a sexting model you know what I mean
    And I do my little turn on the catwalk
    Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
    I do my little turn on the catwalk
    I’m too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
    Too sexy by far
    And I’m too sexy for my hat
    Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that
    I’m a sexting model you know what I mean
    And I do my little turn on the catwalk
    Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
    I shake my little touche on the catwalk
    I’m too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my

    Weiner’s wife could probably understand his weakness for young, willing and nubile Jewish girls, but I think she will draw the line with drop dead gorgeous porn stars. Huma, you must be so humiliated and hurt.

    See what I mean about liberal hypocracy? If you were sincerely concerned with anger, you would have wanted Weiner to step down years ago. The guys deranged. And my pointing it out and referring to him as a “sh!t” doesn’t mean i’m angry. Its just explaining things accurately. My pointing out the obvious, that Weiner is an angry lying nut will have absolutely no affect on any potential success of the Tea Party. That though actually provides a true LOL moment. Thank you.

    There don’t think it was true, but there was scuttlebutt a couple years ago concerning the nature of Hillary and Huma’s relationship. I think the accusation was bogus, but I thought at the time if true Hillary has good taste, and it kind of was just deserts on Bill.

    One observation on this website, I think it is interesting a lot of people (not all) use thumbs up or thumbs down on the basis of who is writing the article rather than reading the article and then doing the thumb thing.

    At least read what is posted first. One day i am going to post “the tea party is the greatest thing ever” and watch how it gets thumbs down by the conservatives just because they see Nature Freak on top. I will LOL.

    if you have to “tell” people to accept your so called compliment, it probably wasn’t much of a compliment…. You blamed Breitbart for Weiner’s “destruction”. Just because you were wrong, and most likely, blamed RWers for it and defended Weiner, and are having to now eat crow, doesn’t mean I, or anyone else, has to just shut up and not correct you when you continue to blame Breitbart. A humble apology is a humble apology. Not another accusation….

    How many times have you used “tea party types” here? Label much? I am an Indy, not a tea partier.

    People pointing out you were wrong, or making a statement about how they despise Weiner doesn’t mean they have anger management issues.

    People engaged/responded to you with their opinions and you replied with personal insults and broad generalizations. Well, that does seem to be symptomatic of those on the left.

    We’re currently on track to be completely out at the end of this year. What I mean by “on track” is that we’re moving according to the Status of Forces Agreement made between the Bush Administration and the Iraqi government. We’re hardly there now, and we’re not doing the heavy lifting anymore. We haven’t been for two years now.
