Weiner told porn star to lie? Offered PR help from his "team"? He's screwed.

[pnwmom]

If someone on his "team" means someone on his Congressional staff, he should just throw in the towel.

If this is true, he should resign NOW.

Probably he should anyway. This just keeps going from bad to worse.

Weiner and former porn star Ginger Lee exchanged scores of sexual emails over a long period of time. When the underwear scandal broke on May 28, Lee began receiving calls from the media, and Weiner was more than happy to help her control the situation ... by lying.

On June 2, Weiner emailed Lee, "Do you need to talk to a professional PR type person to give u advice? I can have someone on my team call. ."

It's unclear if Weiner's PR team is from his Congressional staff. If so, Weiner could run afoul of House Ethics Rules as well as the law.

Weiner put on a full court press, urging Lee to lie about their relationship. On June 1, he emailed her: "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.'"

1. Drip ... Drip ... Drip....

Sorry, Rep. Weiner. It's over.

[LonePirate]

2. Nonsense. He just needs to publicly proclaim that God and his wife have forgiven him.

He's in the clear after that since those admissions always absolve Republicans.

3. If this is true he is toast... has he denied it yet?

I guess she has hard evidence like emails.

6. Was Vitter toast when he paid to be diapered like a man baby?

7. "tu quoque" is a favorite, if overused, tactic on internet discussion forums. It don't cut much

mustard in the real world, though. Just FYI.

4. Too many lines and too much legal nuance.

He should have broken the script down into easier chunks so that she didn't have to forward the original screenplay out of line-memorization frustration.

*sigh*

5. "He should resign NOW. Probably he should anyway." - lol

8. It just gets worse & worse. n/t.

9. it seems all of these "relationships" are only on internet , almost like viewing porn

but he went a little further by directly communicating with them online and sending pics of him.

but it doesn't seem like he made any effort to meet these people in person and do more.
