CNN First To Track Down Rep. Anthony Weiner For TV Comment On Twitter Scandal

CNN’s The Situation Room had the honor of debuting this weekend’s biggest story– the lewd photo allegedly surfacing on Rep. Anthony Weiner‘s Twitter account– on cable news. And adding yet more pieces to the puzzle, CNN managed to track down Rep. Weiner for an official comment, the first time the Congressman has addressed the issue on television.

“It happens to people,” Rep. Weiner asserted, “You move on.” While he did not elaborate any further on his comments, he did echo the sentiments he and his spokesman gave to the Daily Caller earlier today. He once again called it a “distraction” and “a prank, not a terribly creative one.”

Dana Bash‘s report also mentions the internet battle surfacing in the aftermath of the photo’s appearance, noting that, while Daily Kos had dismissed the story as a “right-wing conspiracy,” Big Government proprietor Andrew Breitbart had only initially reported the story, and was now calling, according to his statement to CNN, for a “forensic analysis” to put the matter under rest.

The report via CNN below:

Weiner on CNN (smiling sheepishly):

“I was hacked, it happens to people, you move on”

Where is the righteous indignation? This would certainly be a good time for it.

Something about Weiner doesn’t pass the smell test.

Wow, I can’t believe Mediaite is wasting all this time on a non-story about a nonentity like Anthony Weiner.

I don’t appreciate CNN promoting this segment for the full hour and then saving it for the final minutes.

It’s Memorial Day, I should be outside.

Talk about a cock tease.

Is this junk really picking up momentum?

They need to find the brand on sock he stuffed down his underpants for the photo and match it his other socks.

I think somebody is jerking Weiner around.

“the lewd photo allegedly surfacing on Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter account” It didn’t “allegedly surface,” it DID surface, thats a fact. The only thing “alleged” is that Weiner sent it or a hacker did.

This may be the first time Weiner has ever lacked an air of righteous indignation on camera. Yeah. this is a strange time for serenity to appear in his persona.

So another Rep NY Congressman ( Chris Lee) sends a picture of his bare chest over the internet and he’s shamed into early retirement..but a Schmuck Dem, send a pix of his putz in a twitter it’s just another day in the life of the protected party?

With Weiner’s big mouth he would be howling bloody murder about this ” prank ” besmirching the Weiner name . Unless he feared where an investigation would lead .

Not a distraction , Weiner . You alleged a crime .
ninjapirate

This hacker had access to his facebook and twitter and he doesn’t seem to care at all… if that happened to me I would be distracted with getting even with the hacker…. the fact he isn’t distracted by the hacker is itself a distraction.

He tweeted nothing for 3 hours when the boner tweet came out… and it was immediately removed… and then for some reason he started to talk about(or distracted by) hockey… belting out 4-5 tweets about it.

The end of that clip shows te women at CNN don’t believe the little weiner is innocent either.

This must be investigated to the fullest extant of the law, then he must be immediately removed from office.
snatchax

rep. weiner’s behavior in this clip does not pass the smell test in my opinion.

Didn’t see Weiner’s wife anywhere around him the last two days. I heard he is sleeping on the couch.

By the looks of it, Weiner dressed up to visit a divorce attorney.

Show that clip to any police detective in the country and they would all say “that was a video of a guilty man”.

Maybe the absurdity of it all is funny to him? I just find it to be annoying that this is what the Republicans chase after and care about most in politics, gossip style politics. Has FoxNews even reported on this yet? I haven’t seen much but I’ve yet to see it referenced on air, it’s kinda pathetic that Mediaite spent so much of its time and bandwidth pitching a left-bashing story that even FoxNews finds too absurd and lacking of actual evidence to report on . It kinda lets you know where Mediaite stands on things and why this site is so infested by right wingers.

Social media accounts are ridiculously easy to hack into, any buffoon can do it, but yet, half the stories on here lately are dedicated to this, pathetic.

So Weiner was tweeting a young coed, eh?

Well, this should be addressed like it was in Watergate:

“What did Weiner know, when did he know it, and how was she?

The woman lives in Seattle… and she retweeted that tweet…

For the “hacker” to pick her out is pretty creative.
NeoKong

So now it’s a “prank” huh.
I guess that means no criminal investigation.
CNN was remarkably uncurious as to whether or not the Congressman would involve the police or who it was who may have “hacked” him.

From the NewsBeast/CNN news guy:

According to another tweet, he meant tweeps, not twerps.

A quick response to the guy who defended the HuffPo Breitbart front-page ban and got the Sherrod story wrong: Even if the infamous Weinergate image was “faked,” that means someone hacked into a sitting congressman’s verified twitter account and posted porn. THAT’S STILL NEWS! Why not report it as a developing story, just like we have here at the Bigs? If Kurtz truly believes Rep. Weiner is the victim of a hack-attack, why wouldn’t he cover the story for that reason?

Kurtz later walked back this statement by tweeting, “of course reporters should have looked into Weiner hacking controversy.” To paraphrase Kurtz, sometimes it pays to think a second time.

I know Tina Brown took over Newsweek last year, but if this is the way their top-tier journalists are treating potential Democrat sex scandals (real or “faked”), this invites the question: has anything really changed? You may recall it was Newsweek which killed Michael Isikoff’s Monica Lewinsky/Bill Clinton affair scoop over a decade ago. The Drudge Report picked it up, and conservative new media was born. So, we who make our livings in the new media all owe a debt of gratitude to Newsweek employees and their rich history of protecting Democrats, but America deserves better.

Those doubting his follow-up actions are not alone. CNN’s John King just said that he didn’t understand why Weiner wasn’t reporting it to the FBI or capital police, was instead going to a lawyer. He implied if it was hacked, it should properly be investigated as a possible criminal manner. Any reasonable person would think the same. Doesn’t mean his password wasn’t hacked, just makes you wonder why he calls the lawyer and not the police to investigate a possible criminal manner.

If he has something to hide, of course it would be the lawyer. But let’s hope he’s just being dim-witted

What we know is that a link to a lewd photo was published from a sitting Congressman’s Twitter account, directed at a female recipient, whom he was “following,” but visible to everyone. Two broad possibilities exist: (1) the Congressman’s Twitter account (and perhaps other accounts) were hacked, or (2) the Congressman or someone with authorized access to his Twitter account sent the photo.

From here, we think the story most immediately goes two places: forensic analysis to determine the veracity of Congressman Weiner’s hacking allegation, which certainly bears criminal implications; and investigation into the veracity of developing reports of young women among the relatively few people Congressman Weiner “followed” on Twitter and who now claim they had direct communications with him.

Certainly, getting to the bottom of the story has been made more difficult by the relative silence of Congressman Weiner, as there remain many open questions he has not addressed and on which the mainstream media has failed to press him.

There are outrageous claims in the leftwing blogosphere that we did something other than report the facts fairly and accurately. For example, Salon Editor Joan Walsh lumps us in with those that disclosed the name of the girl. DailyKos alleges we somehow forged a screen grab of the photo in question. Others claim we hacked the Congressman’s accounts. All such claims are categorically false and frankly, pardon the pun, hackwork.

At Breitbart, we will continue reporting the facts as they develop.

Liberal bloggers should be the ones leading the campaign for an official investigation. Many of them have claimed that Andrew Breitbart, and other conservative activists, are responsible for hacking into Weiner’s official congressional Twitter account. If that’s the case, then let’s make sure these right-wing hackers are forced to face the legal consequences of their actions.

This is a fairly customary process. After President Obama’s official Twitter account was hacked, the FBI managed to track the hacker all the way to France, where he was tried and convicted. If Weiner’s account was compromised, there’s a good chance that law enforcement will find the person who did it.

But if it turns out that Weiner is unwilling to allow an official, transparent investigation, then he can’t expect journalists to stop digging for the truth on their own. After all, the public has legitimate questions, and the media is only doing its job.

This is a fairly customary process. After President Obama’s official Twitter account was hacked, the FBI managed to track the hacker all the way to France, where he was tried and convicted. If Weiner’s account was compromised, there’s a good chance that law enforcement will find the person who did it.

But if it turns out that Weiner is unwilling to allow an official, transparent investigation, then he can’t expect journalists to stop digging for the truth on their own. After all, the public has legitimate questions, and the media is only doing its job.

The liberals will make sure the story is forgotten soon. We’re going to have to keep pointing it out.

Also, very soon, the liberals will use this as an example of victimhood. Weiner will be turned into a victim.

And somehow the liberals will use a racism charge to enforce the victimhood angle.

This has the stink of Weiner’s guilt all over it.
LOGICandREASON

Any observant person who know Anthony Weiner and now watching this report could easily see denial in his demeanor and facial expression.

Weiner knows that we know that everyone knows that he sent the photo and was NEVER hacked! He can obviously try as much as he wants to play down the scandal in form of ridicule, but I know that he will someday come apologizing in a press conference assuming the authorities would investigate the case. Surprisingly authorities have chosen NOT TO INVESTIGATE the hack of a federal official’s account and a Congressman for that matter.

This is quite an easy puzzle to form: the authorities can simply check the ip address from where the alleged “hacker” logged into the account and sent the photo, then compare it to the ip address of tweets and previous logins carried out by Weiner himself whose twitter account is a verified one. If both ip addresses match, then there will be no need for denial, the game will be up! Someone can hack my twitter or facebook account and send stuff from it, but they obviously will do it from a different location and ip address and certainly not my own ip.

That was certainly my first thought, perhaps even a Breitbart/O’Keefe conspiracy of sorts. But, those two are not particularly bright, and I have to wonder if we’re not looking for someone a bit more sophisticated.

I suppose the good news is if this is found to be a true hack job, you’ll disappear for a couple of weeks rather than admit you were wrong again. A Basil Marceaux, I mean Gordon Blower with Low-T you are.

wrong about what? I said it could be a hack. I just don’t believe it is, in my opinion. My opinion is my opinion. Doesn’t make it wrong, just what I believe. I acknowledge it could be a hack.

When have I ever “disappeared” because i was wrong? (when have I ever been wrong?)
If I “disappear” from here, it’s because I need a break from your idiocy, if anything.

Agreed. Subpoena the records from Twitter, and you’ll have the mobile location information. Both Weiner and a Twitter hacker knows this, so either should ‘come clean’ before wasting FBI resources. In the end, while simple for the FBI to investigate, whoever causes it should pay the cost of investigation as penalty for the action.

Simple. Either way it’s not a prank, it’s a serious crime or a serious ethics violation.

Twitter has good reason not to involve themselves in this until there’s an official investigation. It would be a violation of privacy unless Weiner or the law is asking them for the information. The one thing that is telling here though, is that they have shown no indication that the account was hacked, such as locking it.

The fact that they aren’t saying anything is not surprising or suspicious, but the fact that they haven’t taken any action at all is telling.

Business must be very, very slow if the people at Mediaite have to keep this story going. This was obviously a prank, and , of course, when you have Breitbart’s name attached to the story it all becomes even more suspicious. Weiner is a dangerous person for the rightwingers because he’s very bright and has dogged New York style determination about issues, and he’s usually on the side of the angels. Virtually everything Brietbart is involved with has an element of criminal intent wrapped around it. It’s a shame that Mediaite gets involved in such low level stuff. I hope the perpetrators are tracked down and prosecuted.
Another thing is the hysterical and hypocrticial bent of many rightwingers. Do you realize that in another 24 hours you are going to be or should be highly embarrassed by wasting so much time on nonsense. Do you think that in a million years a smart guy like Weiner is going to do something to jeopardize his career? He’s not a Spitzer or any one of the dozens of politicians, mostly Republicans, who have been caught in compromised situations. And who cares about these sexual peccadillos, unless it’s something serious like rape, pandering or like Monsieur Kahn’s outrageous behavior. It’s a a cliche, but my advice to many of you is to get a real life with real people instead of playing mind games with with yourselves and this blog so much of the time.

Is the MSM going to let Weiner stonewall? Most anybody else (like if they had an R beside the name) they would not settle for this spin.

You can alway count on CNN to get the stories first. While Fox spins its right wing agenda and MSNBC the left, CNN is the real Fair and Balanced Network, but because it does not have a right or left leaning prime time programming, it is not on top of the ratings. It’s a shame that we have idealogs on the right and left watching the truth being distorted and even out right lies, CNN picks up the latest news all the way through 11 PM, Fox and MSNBC wind up putting the same news out the next morning and of course the video shows that CNN was the one which broke the news.
