Well, not to be left out of the fun, TMZ* waded into the muck (oh, wait...that's where they live). They have been working with the porn star in the last day or two and have evidence (presumably emails, texts, etc.) that Weiner urged her to lie in order to cover up the extent of their online relationship.
LINKThe "wise" people in the media like to say that it's the coverup that gets you into trouble so let's see how that plays out...
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. [Yeah, my team is doing great. Ugh]."
or this...
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.'"
Weiner suggested a nice touch -- some good ol' Southern charm: "And then maybe insert some y'alls in there."
Class act, this Weiner.
Clearly this is someone who cannot be trusted with congressional duties that may involve national security issues. ANYONE can see that based on stuff like this. If there is much more like this out (and you have to believe there are
women out there who we don't know about yet) then Weiner will not make it to the end of the week.
*curiously the comments on TMZ are running 50-1 against Weiner and Democrats.
