What the account was for is irrelevant. It's still covered in the law. It's still a violation of TITLE 18 USC, PART I , CHAPTER 47, § 1030
§ 1030. Fraud and related activity in connection with computers

Weiner may also be entitled to sue, which is precisely why he would consult an Attorney.

Criminal would come before civil.

One can file a civil suit any time that they want. It helps a civil suit when there is a criminal conviction, because criminal cases are a higher standard. However, it takes longer for civil cases to come to trial, so there is an advantage to file as soon as possible. The case likely won't come to trial before the criminal case.

Besides, Weiner can sue for damage to his reputation even if there is no arrest.

There is no need to wait for a criminal, in order to file a civil

Thats odd, just previously on this very same thread you were asking for undeniable proof that something posted was true, while you then went on to just randomly post information. You cant stand up to your own standards? How shocking.

Also, from the NY Post:
Fail.
1) In order to determine if the image was photoshopped, you would have to have access to the originals, (per the link itself)
2) There was no claim that it was photoshopped, the claim is that the account were hacked. Liberals cant even get their defense straight.

No, dear, it's you who haven't been right about most of your so-called "facts". And here you're just making things up again. As usual, you have nothing to back up ANY of your claims, except your desperate belief against Congressman Weiner.
I've given you FACTS for every assertion and coincidence...and still you ignore all the evidence that says this creep is guilty. His very actions and behavior AFTER the fact will lead you to that conclusion. Sometimes it's really, really easy to connect the dots...unless one insists, through all reason, to believe a story that is purely fiction...because the FACTS just don't corroborate what he's saying.

Oh, why don't you tell us with your super insider information of the internetz about his FB, yfrog and twitter pages, which are NOT at all connected? Are they invisible on each page? Do they just appear on a wish and prayer to link to?

I posted the link to both...yet another thing you continue to ignore.

Look how pained these two at CNN look.

CNN Reports on Weinergate; FBI and Capitol Police Not Investigating Rep. Weiner

How does a picture get deleted before it reaches her?

You can just tell, Bash and Crowley have their doubts.

Now, if his account(s) were hacked, that would be a CRIME, with possible national security implications...no?

Again, wouldn't the NORMAL response be to get the police involved? Instead, he has retained "private" counsel...so he can then claim there is an investigation and he won't comment about it, hoping it will all go away.

I can't find it now, but someone on the right DID in fact predict this was what Weiner would do.

He is no way honorable...he is a power hungry POS, who has no intention of doing the honorable thing.

Cnn was just hacked and, unless you really believe the rapper is still alive and living somewhere in Europe, the people who hacked CNN did it to try to hurt CNN's image. So why would people not realize that the same thing has happened to this honorable man by those who can't stand when he calls them out on their lies.

NO, PBS (not CNN) was hacked by supporters of Wikileaks. Not sure what connection they would have with Weiner though

Hackers hit PBS, post 'Tupac still alive' story - Technology & science - Security - msnbc.com
