6/1/11 1:58 PM EDT Updated: 6/1/11 2:19 PM EDT Rep. Anthony Weiner says he “can’t say with certitude” that the lewd photo of a man’s crotch sent using his Twitter account to one of his followers isn’t of him. “I didn’t send that picture out,” Weiner said in an interview with NBC News. “That’s not a picture of you?” reporter Luke Russert asked. Weiner responded: “You know, I can’t say with certitude.” The New York Democrat continued to claim that a hacker sent the photo to a 21-year-old college co-ed in Seattle. “My system was hacked, pictures can be manipulated, dropped in and inserted,” he said. “One reason I asked a firm to look at what the heck happened here … is to see maybe something was manipulated, maybe something was dropped in.” “We don’t know for sure what happened here,” Weiner added. “But let’s try to take a step back. This is a circumstance where someone committed a prank on the internet, spoofed me, made fun of me, whatever. We’re taking it seriously in as much we want to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” Weiner hasn’t called for an official investigation by the FBI or Capitol Police, although he told Russert he has hired a private “securty firm” to find out what happened. Previously, Weiner had said he hired a lawyer to investigate. “We don’t know exactly what happened here. It was a prank,” Weiner said. But Weiner hasn’t sought a criminal probe because “it is not a national security thing — I’m not sure I want to put national federal resources into trying to figure out who posted a picture on Weiner’s website of whatever. I’m not really sure it rises, no pun intended, to that level.” “And let me say one other thing,” he added. “I think it’s fair and reasonable to ask some of the questions. It was a prank, still, I think it’s fair to ask the question. I think we have to be careful not to take this out of context. this is not a national security matter. This is not an instance — we’re not making a federal case out of this and I don’t think anyone else should. But the things I do want to work on in Congress here are being interrupted by this, which I think is the intention of the person that did this to begin with.”

Goldi...I twittered the wrong twat...
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." This guy is sooo... busted. He should have just admitted it, taken the lumps from the wife, and moved on. Why do these politicians have to lie all of the time? It's not like anyone really believes that they are upstanding, moral leaders. ROTFLMAO...
Because it could be his picture in his phone that the hacker sent out. The female who the picture was to be sent to says she thinks it is someone she knows who is harassing her. The scandal for Weiner is not that he sent the pic but rather he had the pic on his file (never intending to send to this person). That is the story so far.

Because their goal is plausible deniability for themselves and their political supporters. Remember,these are professional politicians we are talking about. As far as they are concerned being close to the truth is close enough. Don't forget,almost all of them are also laywers,and the truth is always a shifting thing for a lawyer.

And it is no more than a distraction because he WILL get re-elected unless the DNC picks another Jew to run against him in the primary.

I'll bet Hillary had Weiner's account hacked and sent the pic, she has to be really POed that the boy's johnson performed well enough to turn her Humina-Humina straight. Talk about your lesbo penis envy, I'll bet the bitch would bobbitize Weiner's weener and have it stuffed and mounted on her strap-on if she could.
The only question is will his new wife kill him before he's thrown out of office.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
He'll be reelected just like yukon won't be banned on elPee - unlike you (grin)
Why wouldn't he? Nothing illegal happened.

Back to not adding anything to the site again, huh? Figures.

How and when will he be thrown out of office?
Badeye's heading over there now.
Fair point, given he's a uber liberal democrat, they'll probably promote him.

Don't ever say I didn't give you an idea on how to be a man of action.
You shouldn't be intruding on the Captain of Industry's busy work schedule.
By now he should have advanced to Titan.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
His phone??? How did the hacker get access to his phone? Why didn't Weiner report his phone missing? Didn't he call his mobile company and have the number shut down? You have no idea what you are talking about, do you?
His phone??? How did the hacker get access to his phone? I meant a picture he took with his phone that was used for his personal twitter account. Why are you even caring much anymore? When this first hit I can see comments but day 3 already of a picture of a clothed body part is a waste of time.

As opposed to being a lame assed gambling addict like yourself, freddie? One that never adds to any conversation in any forum for over a decade? Who's only commentary 95% of the time isn't on a given topic, just cheap juvenile insults? My only really question about you is what the fuck happened in the real world to make you this childish, for this long, under the delusional belief you can say anything you want in 'anonymity'. You remain a world class pussy, freddie.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Weiner looks absolutely ridiculous now.

Ming, sorry, I'm not interested. Nor flattered. Now, run along, you have a lot of jew bashing to do before the weekend begins....

Too bad your short term memory is well....so short. Actually I only bash Israelis and their traitorous enablers. Why do you put all jews into one basket?
