Someone is going to get some charges filed against them. Hacking an account and sending obscene pictures can land you in big trouble.

If ONLY Weiner would start the ball rolling, but he won't, he can't, because filing a false police report is a crime and that's what he would be doing.

He hired an attorney. They're exploring options.

Facebook wouldn't even know if it was hacked.

Yeah Weiner is going to be in trouble for making this whole hacking thing up.

That's not what should have happened. Usually, the normal response to a hacking of multiple accounts would be to involve the police/FBI, involve FB and twitter, but his accounts are still intact, they haven't been closed by either FB or twitter to investigate.

The options they are exploring is to shut up and pray this goes away - that is OBVIOUS by his new comments.

One would expect some pretty emphatic denials from a wronged politician, including a demand to track down the culprits of a political dirty trick. A “let’s move along, nothing to see here” attitude at least suggests that Weiner isn’t terribly anxious for an investigation, which raises questions of its own.
Would the media allow foot-tapping Craig, Foley, Ensign and Vitter to get away with this under the same circumstances?

Well, we already know the answer - No, they didn't.

I'm not sure why you have such a vested interest in this case? Unless you did the hacking and sending of the photos, you have nothing to worry about. Hacking cases take a long time to unfold. There's a digital trail and finding out what actions to take means going over the options first.

Based on everything coming out in the news it sure does seem like the only hack involved here is Democrat Anthony Wiener. What a great ending to an annoying little weasel of a man.

Look, I can't stand this piece of garbage but I dont believe for a second he did this. Even he isn't as stupid to pull a stunt like this.
