The Great Fortune of Capturing Anthony Weiner's Misfortune: Weiner
Rich Juzwiak · 05/23/16 11:10AMAn extraordinary thing fell into the laps of filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg as they documented Anthony Weiner’s 2013 bid for New York City mayor: Weiner’s dick. For about six weeks, Kriegman and Steinberg filmed Weiner’s promising attempt at public redemption after his 2011 sexting scandal caused him to resign from Congress—and then a second wave of sexting allegations emerged.
Anthony Weiner Practices Apologizing in First Trailer for Juicy New Documentary, Weiner
Gabrielle Bluestone · 04/26/16 11:27AMIn 2013, disgraced former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner decided to run for mayor in an attempt to rehabilitate his image after a sexting scandal drove him from office. Instead he got caught up in a new sexting scandal—and this time a documentary film crew was there to record the whole thing. This week the first trailer dropped, and damn does it look good.
Why Is the Internet Obsessed With Photos of Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin?
J.K. Trotter · 04/12/16 01:05PMFor the past several days, including today, the most trafficked piece of content on Politico.com has been a slideshow of 17 wire pictures featuring Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton and her long-time aide Huma Abedin in various settings, including the 2008 campaign trail and several countries Clinton visited as Secretary of State. Its description refers to Abedin as Clinton’s “body woman”—an appellation borrowed, it seems, from a 2006 Observer article—and Abedin’s job as “assisting the former secretary of state’s move back into her private life.” Its title is, “How close are Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton?”
Anthony Weiner Documentary Filmmakers Say They Didn't Cut Any Damaging Hillary Clinton Footage
Brendan O'Connor · 01/24/16 09:15PMResponding to earlier reports that filmmakers had cut footage, damaging to the Clinton campaign, from a new documentary about Anthony Weiner, co-director Elyse Steinberg said, “There was no footage that was taken out.” That, presumably, is an overstatement, as the filmmakers were working with 400 hours of raw footage.
The New Anthony Weiner Documentary Sounds Like It's Going to Be Juicy as Hell
Andy Cush · 01/19/16 12:35PMWeiner is the title of a new documentary about the dismal 2013 New York City mayoral campaign of Anthony Weiner. Considering that Weiner’s run, like his tenure as a U.S. congressman before, was ended by a sexting scandal, the title seems like a mean and juvenile joke. But then again, that’s just his name: Weiner. Tough break, I guess. What are you gonna do? Anyway, the documentary sounds like it’s going to be excellent.

Source: Top Clinton Aides Used Secret Email Accounts at State Dept.
J.K. Trotter · 03/03/15 05:43PMHillary Clinton is defending her use of a private email address, hosted at ClintonEmail.com, to conduct official State Department business by claiming that her emails were captured by official @state.gov accounts that other agency employees were instructed to use to contact her. But according to a knowledgeable source, at least two other top Clinton aides also used private email accounts to conduct government business—placing their official communications outside the scope of federal record-keeping regulations.
Conservatives Are A-OK with Insane Huma Abedin Conspiracy Theory
J.K. Trotter · 06/17/14 02:05PMYou might be wondering what else happened during that testy Benghazi panel co-hosted by the Heritage Foundation on Monday. Besides the peacefulness of Muslim individuals, the panel also delved into a discredited conspiracy theory about Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin involving the Muslim Brotherhood.

Cord Jefferson · 07/23/13 05:05PMWeiner Might Run for Mayor This Year: Three Questions About His Comeback Profile
Max Read · 04/10/13 07:47AMWatch out for former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner on the New York mayoral ballot this year. He's been consulting with pollsters and advisers, and gauging his chances, and in a long comeback profile appearing in this weekend's New York Times Magazine looks to be leaning toward "yes": "[I]t's now or maybe never for me, in terms of running for something," he says. (Weiner—you might remember—got in some trouble two years ago after accidentally tweeting a (clothed) photograph of his engorged member to his 60,000 followers; it came out over the course of several agonizing and hilarious days that he had been cybering with several women he'd met online, though never in person.)
John McCain Calls Michele Bachmann's Insane Criticism of Anthony Weiner's Wife “Sinister” and “Ugly”
Taylor Berman · 07/18/12 06:56PMMichele Bachmann recently issued some typically stupid statements accusing Huma Abedin, Chief of Staff to Hillary Clinton and wife to Anthony Weiner, of having ties to the (gasp) Muslim Brotherhood. McCain, who is apparently in one of those moods where he acts honorably instead of cravenly, defended Abedin, whom he described as a "friend" and a "fine and decent American."
