Rep. Weiner: ‘I Can’t Say With Certitude’ When Asked If Twitter Picture Was Of Him

video
» 196 comments

Congressman Anthony Weiner says he definitely did not send the now famous picture through Twitter, however he can’t say for sure whether the photo is of him. Weiner maintains that it was a prank which he had nothing to do with. MSNBC’s Luke Russert conducted the interview and pressed Weiner on the details of the controversy.

On the most intriguing question, Russert asked Weiner whether the picture was of him and Weiner’s head-scratching response:

“You know, I can’t say with certitude. My system was hacked. Pictures can be manipulated. Pictures can be dropped in and inserted.”

Weiner insisted that the bottom line was “I was the victim of a prank here” and wondered why it feels like Alice in Wonderland in that there has been four days of reporting on what amounts to nothing more than a silly distraction. Russert inquired whether Weiner might be worried if this could jeopardize his future political plans, and Weiner looked completely shocked that Russert would even make the suggestion. Weiner dismissed the possibility that there will be an ethics investigation, reaffirming his argument that he was the victim, but didn’t want to waste federal resources and make a federal case out of what was merely a prank.

Weiner was hopeful that sitting down for an interview now to answer these questions could put this whole distraction behind him. However, with the headline from this appearance basically being that a Congressman can’t recognize whether a picture is of him or not, it seems likely that the strange story isn’t over yet.

    I have been convinced of Weiner’s innocence here, but it is troubling to hear him waffle on this question — which should be a very easy one for him to answer.

    Alright folks, Ms. Ballbricker was right, she could tell if it was his, and she was RIGHT!

    OMG…This guy is imploding. What a LIAR!!!

    Just like Nixon….The cover-up is what brings elitists down!!!

    If he would have just came out from the beginning and said it was him and that he is sorry and that he has had a long talk with the wife and they are going to work through this together and that he is sorry about everything and……yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah………….this whole story would go away!!

    Not now, his lying and cover-up will bring him tumbling down…haha

  • Ramrants

    Are we still going to maintain that Breitbart set Weinerhacker up? Are we still going to pretend Weiner didn’t take a picture of his junk and tweet it to his online honey? it’s those crazy, vengeful conservatives trying to distract an important congressman from do the important work of the people? Are we still going with that?

    By tomorrow, he will have found a friend, cousin, uncle, brother, old college roommate, John Stewart, etc. to take the fall for him and say it was they, not the upstanding Congressman from NY, who took the picture and sent it out as a joke. Anyone want to bet me this won’t happen?

    You have to admit, Breitbart is so despised and discredited that people will believe it whether he did it or not.

  • RazorsEdge

    Perhaps Rep. Weiner should speak more with a seemingly more “friendly” network like MSNBC as he did here.

    SO he would answer more direct questions presented to him! Keep going, keep going…there are more questions rep. Weiner that reporters whnt to ask AND have answered. “Not with certitude”, is a step in that direction.

  • valkyrie101

    Maybe Weiner knows the person who did it. The fact that he can not deny that the picture is of him, is very strange. Do we have a crime involved? Not unless Weiner presses charges against the person who accessed his account without permission.

  • ndanielson

    RRK or Sam M. should know.

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Val, lying to autorities would be considered obstruction of justice. If he’s telling the Feds he was hacked and he knows he wasn’t, that would be a crime. But perhaps that why it appears he hasn’t filed a complaint. He knows if he does and it’s a lie, he’s in even bigger trouble. We’ll see what BillO has to say tonight.

  • http://twitter.com/SailRabbits Magister

    I’ve never faulted Breitbart for the initial reporting, it was the manner with which he rode the horse after the first report that should cause him pause, but though I haven’t yet seen the clip, I’m not sure how the idea that someone may have stolen a pic from Weiner’s Facebook proves that it wasn’t a hack.

    The Congressman even tweeted that his Facebook had been hacked. A lot of people wondered how that extended to Twitter, but until the story hit Breitbart’s web, if the tweet was quickly deleted and his password Twitter password unchanged, there would’v been no way for him to know.

    Not to mention that as I’ve said in a previous thread, it appears that you can change your Twitter password in one device or screen and any other device (or screen) that had been previously logged-in would still be able to tweet. So if a hacker had changed the Congressman’s password — something which I doubt — he would’ve still been able to tweet from his phone and if the offending tweet had been deleted, he wouldn’t have known that it had been sent.

  • http://constitutionallibertarian.co.cc DavidKramer

    Hmmmmm, just a question about liberals, democrats, socialists, communists, immoral people, progressives (but I repeat myself) etc, do you think that just MAYBE we the people should elect HONORABLE people to represent us?

    If Weiner can LIE to cover up such a SMALL thing as this, could he be bribed and blackmailed for other things?

    There is a REASON that the military foments a HONOR code, otherwise they can be manipulated by outside sources.

    But NOW, we have people in government that have NO MORALS OR HONOR! Do you libs even see any problem with that?

  • Liberal Tormentor

    Magister, don’t you find it a bit odd that he claims to have been hacked, but had access to get all of the offending material off immediately? If you are hacked, you would probably lose control of your twitter for a bit. He didn’t.

    First of all, my theory has been that if the Congressman’s Twitter was hacked, the “hacker” probably deleted the tweet because the Congressman made no mention of a Twitter hack and all they needed was the offending tweet to be added to the tweetcongress.com archive to become part of the record. Especially, if they used a different device to send the tweet than the Congressman was using that night.

    Also, if they had changed the Congressman’s password, then he could more easily claim a hack because the offending tweet would’ve remained. Also, as Tommy has suggested somewhere, if the Congressman’s password had been changed, all he would’ve had to do would be to ask for an emailed password and he would’ve regained instant access (unless the hacker also changed his email, but that may require double verification… I haven’t checked)

    (Now of course, it appears that the tweet could’ve been sent through yfrog, but you just log into that using Twitter, so the same Twitter stuff applies.)

    Also as I said in my initial comment to this thread and have said on another, if you’re logged into Twitter on your phone and on your computer, if someone were to change your password on their computer, the devices being used by the Congressman would still be logged-in, so they wouldn’t need the new password. Though again, I’ve operated all along that if there was a hacker, they wouldn’t have changed any passwords because the fact that the Congressman kept tweeting has allowed others to argue that he may not have been hacked.

    Not many, there are a few. Santorum stands by his beliefs even though it hurts him politically. Ron Paul the same, Sarah Palin the same, West the same, Cain the same.

    There are not many that do not flip flop on issues of their beliefs, you can count them on your hands and toes.

    I stand by ANYONE that can stand on their beliefs, even if 90% of the country believes opposite. See, there are not many of those and about NONE that will state that fact.

    Look at any Democrat that states their beliefs and stands by them. There are NONE except maybe Bernie Sanders. Otherwise the Democrats are just a bunch of lying hypocrites, they will say anything to hold their power.

    On the Republican side, there is only a handful, like Ron Paul or Jim Demint. They do not CARE about the populace beliefs, they stand by their convictions and state them openly, even in prevailing tides against them.

    Honor, duty and belief is a failing commodity nowadays. That is why I will stand with anyone that holds those beliefs before withering odds. Of course if they turn against those beliefs, I will throw them to the wolves, just like we the people threw Bush to the wolves. Bush stood by his beliefs but FOLDED under the storm, that is NOT what I want. If I wanted a RINO or a COMMUNIST, I would have voted for Obama. I would have voted for Feingold. I would have voted for Barret (vs Walker).

    We always hear about compromise, that compromise gets us EXACTLY where we are now, tyranny and corruption.

    Compromise is always about giving more power to government and taking it from the individual. No more compromise, no more retreat!

    HA!

    Some will not like, but…I’m surprised Rep. Weiner is doing pressers and making himself available. That’s somewhat a positive towards a Hack as he claims. He’s making himself available. But doesn’t exonerate him either. Just surprised.

    BUT… doing that just keeping story more alive, especially with answers such as the “I can’t say with certitude”.

    BUT if he just launched an investigation, Rep. Weiner could then stop talking to the press or with answers that I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation. Relieve some of the distraction he states he doesn’t want to do the peoples work by using an active investigation as a shield.

    AND…spend more time doing the people’s work rather than spending his time talking to reporters about this!

    So you have no problem if people in Congress have their personal accounts hacked? You think thats something that the federal government should just ignore?

    I lean toward “hacked” because there’s just too many holes or convenient coincidences that make it seem like a plot, plus though this may reveal something about me, but whenever someone has tried to get me to have questionable exchanges on AIM, Messenger or Yahoo!, they generally preface it with a “do you want to chat” and don’t just start talking dirty out of the blue.

    He’s just flailing about so badly, though. He has to know our salacious media would be on this like flies to sh*t, yet his responses to their queries have gotten increasingly worse. I think that if this story didn’t find its way back to the odious reptile Shitefart then Weiner would be looking even more guilty.

    Someone logged into yfrog using his Twitter login. It’s not national security, no one has ever been arrested for the crime and that includes the time they hacked into a Twitter employee’s account, gained access to an admin panel that allowed them to send tweets as Fox News President-Elect. A crime for which Twitter did not contact law enforcement and at least initially, law enforcement did not contact them, instead Twitter called their lawyer and the incident resulted in an FTC penalty for them.

    Otherwise, I said in a previous comment that my concern is mostly about how this incident will affect social networking and citizen journalism.

    As I’ve said, I don’t fault Breitbart for the initial report because a story was brought to his attention and he posted it with tentative language. Though, now that his people have tried to change it into some kind of crusade, it says something different and it may backfire, which may not bode well for the next time one person has a story that they shop to media outlets.

    And, as the Congressman says, the whole focus on who follows who, the lack of understanding and balanced reporting appears to be doing harm seems to be doing harm to the social media concept and how it’s used by politicians. I mean, Michele Bachmann has 48,000 followers and she follows 14,000; Should we be going through to see how many of those she follows are young men in their 20s and the ratio of young bucks to middle-aged women?

    I think you’re thinking a little to idealistically about our political system. This is Anthony Weiner and he’s being hounded about a story that started with Andrew Breitbart. If Weiner was totally innocent on this I think he would be coming after a lamprey like Breitbart with with enough legal firepower to have him drawn and quartered in Times Square. Instead he’s taking this meek “I just want to get back to work” routine?

    Maybe I’m totally wrong here, but Weiner just keeps making this situation look worse.

  • joebiner

    It is very telling to me that Weiner has seized on Jeffrey Toobin’s “let’s not make a federal case of this prank” defense. Sorry, but Weiner doesn’t seem like the type of guy to let by-gones be by-gones especially with Andrew Breitbart involved and now that Breitbart has insinuated on CNN he has proof Wiener has iinappropriate relationships with underage girls. Weiner is in a fight for his political future, at least as it exists outside of being the congressman from Queens. Until he reports this alleged “hacking” of his official house of representatives twitter account I will assume he is not doing so because it is not true and he doesn’t want to face the risk of being indicted for making a false report to the FBI. For the same reason, if Weiner reports the alleged hacking to the FBI I will assume, until proven wrong, that he has made the report in good faith and that his account was hacked.

    Frankly, based on the non-explicit explicit picture alone I’d be pretty meh about the whole thing. I’m sure he’d have hell to pay with his wife, but that’s not my business. But ,now that he may have lied about it I think it is a fairly big deal and will only gain momentum.

    1. Weiner said from the beginning that the matter was a prank, that he did not do it, and that someone accessed his account without permission (i.e. he was hacked). But whether charges are filed is a matter of discretion on the part of the aggrieved person. Had this matter involved national security, you would be right, but it doesn’t. Its up to Weiner whether to file charges or not.

    2. Perhaps Weiner has taken photos of his underwear clad penis. Its quite the rage these days. No crime, though. It has not been alleged that the photo was sent to minor children.

    3. Since the penis was covered up perhaps Jon couldn’t properly identify it.

    I could believe he was taking pictures of himself in his undies for some personal reason. People do stupid stuff in the privacy of their own homes, stuff that would be humiliating if it were publicly divulged. But the problem for Weiner is, how did this picture, if it was intended to be private, get from some private medium to twitter? Did he store it on FB? Terribly stupid, even if you’re not a public official. Is he saying someone had access to his computer or blackberry? That’s a good enough excuse when the standard if proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but sadly (I am a fan of his and very disappointed in him), not in the media. I don’t see this ending well for him, no matter what he comes out with next.

    Look dude, I think I’m with you in that I really, really hope that Weiner has an explanation for this. But I’ve worn enough boxer briefs in my time to know that’s a pic of a guy in his undies. And the undies aren’t sweaty so he didn’t just get done working out. And, to paraphrase Veronica Cartwright in Anchorman, that’s an enormous erection. I don’t know what he was doing but it’s very hard to imagine he doesn’t know whether it’s him. And we’ve all seen enough people trying to get out of answering a question to know that’s what he was doing. Of course, as you’ve noted he’s perfectly willing to swear he didn’t send it – but I don’t think that’s going to be enough. As long as it’s a picture of him – and I can’t see any explanation but that it is – he’s not going to come out of this looking good.

    @Rgentum: Like the other Congressmen who have been involved or implicated in scandals, the ultimate judgement is up to his constituents. Sure, the media may hound him for a while and some internet pundits may use it as a slur in future discussions, but no crime has been alleged against him and it’s not an ethics matter, so eventually the conversation is just going to die down and quite possibly without a solution.

    I was wondering the same thing. The only thing I can guess is that Drudge knows there are more photos out there or something more and he’s just waiting for Weiner to keep piling up the denials so it will have maximum impact when Drudge breaks them. Seems far fetched, I know, but I’m trying to figure out why Drudge hasn’t touched it.

    Read what I said. Have you ever heard of the notion of innocent until proven guilty?

    Since Weiner isn’t able to identify himself let’s ask his wife.  Surely, she should know whether or not this is her husband’s junk.

    Weiner denies sending the picture.

    Yes, and that’s what is know as a lie!

    3. Since the penis was covered up perhaps Jon couldn’t properly identify it.

    Yeah, but I bet YOU could.

    Could be, but usually we give people the benefit of the doubt until that fact is shown.

    the only evidence is his phone, his twitter account, there is no other evidence as of now

    Other than Weiner saying he didn’t do it.

    Than I guess I’m not reasonable, because to me it sounds like he was behaving like a silly old man trying to get in some young girl’s pants. Unfortunately he hit the wrong key and pop! there goes the weiner.

    Young girls pants?

    yes true, but the only facts and evidence are his phone, his twitter account, there is not other facts or evidence

    So when someone testifies in his own defense, that is not considered “evidence” to you? Why?

    did he testify, did he swear under oath, no……………you have to when you fill out a police statement, but he did not do that

    if he signed a sworn statement yes, but he has not

    Weiner should ask Jon Stewart if that’s really his d*ck, because Stewart seems pretty intimate with Anthony’s Weiner in this video.

    I thought O’Reilly’s confession was bad, but that takes the cake.

    Its still evidence, sworn statement or not.

    Well, here is something we DO know for sure.

    Andrew Breitbart really has a knack for picken ‘em, right?!?

    http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/internet/mike-stack-weinergate-co-pilot-219073

    I guess if one makes an open call saying “Hey fellow angry bigots! Send me whatever damaging trash you can and I will host it on my GOP sponsored site, so we can destroy the Left”, then you are bound to attract just a bit of crazy, right?

    What other caliber of person would you summon when you hold up a perverted liar like James OKeefe as a model researcher?

    But honestly, “Goatsred” doesnt look much different from any other deranged speed-freak in the tea-parties. I mean, for all we know, that could be BigEddie right there… they both use a lot of the same verbage.

    Regardless, this grotesque freak was harrassing underage girls that were fans of Rep Weiner. And this is who Andrew Breitbart attracts by his venom. Now he is supposedly backing away from these folks.

    Its karma… Breitbart has dished out so much hatred, heat and dishonesty, that the true face of the hard right has manifested through him as this ugly predator.

    Oh, and remember how Dan Wolfe was SOOOOOO ready for an investigation?

    Well, let me put it this way…. Remember what the GOP did to Newt when he talked about moderation?

    Or What Sarah did to her commitment to Alaska?

    well, it must be fashionable now—

    Thank you Andrew Breitbart for helping Wolfe and Stack sabatogue the public dialogue.

    Just hope that you dont get charged as an accessory to child endangerment.
