So this Anthony Weiner story just took a bizarre turn...

Should this article on The Daily Mail be taken seriously? I have been wondering why Weiner hasn't been charged with a crime. Could this be the reason? Or is it more RWNJ gibberish... I'll delete if this is part of Alex Jones/Bannon's BS conspiracy stories.

She seems to be deep in the tin foil hat conspiracy theory weeds.

The last story I read about this was from a local NC news station that reported the girl was cooperative-- but that was a few weeks before the election.

wrote a letter to FBI demanding she be left out of it and not 'exploited' by them.

I live in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area and have never seen any news reports from WTVD, WRAL, or WNCN.

On edit - Only finding national stories. Reading them over now they never seem quite clear. Especially don't trust the part where the 'father' says (Nov2 article) he voted for Hillary and now wishes he hadn't. Except….he would have known about the texting before early voting started, so, that certainly doesn't ring true. And since it couldn't be true, why make a point of adding it?

Every single local news story around here was through the AP.

Btw Hendersonville is a nice area-- You should trek down to Brevard for a weekend for some hiking in Dupont Forest- lots of waterfalls are there to explore. My ex-gf and I used to live in Johnson City-- we'd drive to waterfalls every weekend in NC and TN. Fun times. lol

I think it is something about Carolina catfish... The theory is it was all about planting Clinton emails in his computer. He was talking to a hacker, not a girl.

is actually a cop with a laptop, but, i don't know. In any case, Weiner should have known better than that. Really, dude!

Leave the kids alone, guys! Sext with someone your own age, why don't you?

Or that emails that were released publicly were installed on Weiner's computer to make it look like new emails.

Just understand Louise Mensch (the writer of this article) has a good track record in this Russia/Trump scandal-- But I will say that I'm still not sure if I'm on board with this wacky Weiner story.
