Way to go off on a tangent while addressing me. The probe shouldn't have to go any further than time-stamps. If his idea of a job is getting paid in tax payer money to solicit porn stars, we have ourselves a conflict of interest running the country.
If he sent his email and attachments after hours, who the heck cares except for maybe his wife...
And who knows, she might be ok with it as long as he doesn't contract Hep C.

During my time in law enforcement, my experience was that the police who cheated on their wives almost always were involved in other major crimes.

Umm,, News Flash. House Minority Speaker Pelosi called on the House Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation into the use of gov't property due to allegations brought forth that he had.
Turn on Fox/CNN/ABC. Good stuff.
Apparently you didn't see my post a bit back that indicates another woman came out today with evidence of over 200 sex text from the Love Child and phone calls from his Gov't offices. She got tired of the dirty sextexting and told him to call. He did.
That's just the start-case file opened. From there, they will seize his computers and any other electronic devices that were issued to his etc. Then, if evidence of a crime, they will subpoena the court for his personal computers and phones....
They we are just blowing the dust off the top of the surface of this one.
Oh, I heard he was being groomed by the NY Dems for consideraton for the next mayor of NYC. Kiss that good-bye.
Well, he better think carefully: What a tangled web we weave... When we practice to deceive.
Thank You! The key word here boys and girls is ETHICS!!! A key moral characteristic that is lacking severely in Big Politics and Big Government. Ethics...Abuse of power and authority that was entrusted by the people of an elected representative's district.
Bye Bye Weiner! If he survives this fiasco without resigning or without being asked to resign the man will live on into a career of simply more of the same. In the words of the great MC Hammer "Can't touch this". If Weiner stays on of course.
Do we forget that we TAXPAYERS pay these peoples salaries? Uhm, I think a congressman makes 88,000 a year, full medical benefits, and as a representative of the government, cannot get a speeding ticket? (maybe urban myth.) We are paying people to be immoral. Why?

Mr. Weiner should be placed on suicide watch immediately.
IMO, he's going to take his own life before this is finished.
He won't live through the shame he's brought upon himself.

well my standards are that our elected leaders should have character
and the problem with this nation and its people and its leaders is fundamental lack of it.
and those people who have no problems with this do have stupid standards.edit on 6-6-2011 by neo96 because: (no reason given)

“I am calling for an Ethics Committee investigation to determine whether any official resources were used or any other violation of House rules occurred.”
Israel added: “Congressman Anthony Weiner engaged in a deep personal failure and inappropriate behavior that embarrassed himself, his family, and the House. Ultimately, Anthony and his constituents will make a judgment about his future . “To remove all remaining doubt about this situation, I agree with Leader Pelosi’s request that the House Ethics Committee use its authority to begin an investigation.”

Actually I have a phone number he can call and see how to parlay this unfortunate misunderstanding into novel rights and a lucrative career on the book circuit, followed by a speaking tour, later on he might even enjoy a comeback as Mayor of a major city.
Oh it is not the end but merely the shank of the evening for Mr. Weiner.

Time to move on and seek employment with Oscar Mayer driving this

AND, I would think he thinks about this stuff all the time, so he's also not focusing on his JOB as an appointed official. He goes to work, checks his Yahoo profile, and spends half the morning replying to questionable messages. He's NOT doing his appointed job. He's above everyone else. He's elected. The people in NY should be very upset. The scandal is in motion. His reputation is tainted. Remove him from office. He's not fit to serve. It's called, wait for it.....
....abuse of power.

Wow, really? Where did you study biology?
Last I checked you had to at least meet the person in order to get them pregnant. Did Edwards get that woman pregnant over Facebook or Twitter?
What’s more, the blonde woman has revealed details that show the liberal congressman lied during his tear-jerking confession Monday at a press conference in New York and that he DID use government resources for his extra-marital activities.
