Weiner Continues His Fall From Top of the World
Prosecutors Weigh Child-Pornography Charges AgainstAnthony Weiner (WSJ) Former congressman is being investigated for sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl * Anthony Weiner may get slapped with child pornography charge (NYP) * PROSECUTORS WEIGH CHILD PORN CHARGES AGAINST WEINER -- Wall Street Journal's "Federal prosecutors are weighing bringing child-pornography charges against former congressman Anthony Weiner over sexually explicit exchanges he allegedly had with a 15-year-old girl, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. Weiner, a New York Democrat, is being investigated by the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which seized his electronic devices, including a laptop and a cellphone, as part of the probe. Officials initiated the investigation last fall, after the Daily Mail in the U.K. reported that Mr. Weiner had exchanged sexually explicit messages and photos with the girl. In recent weeks, according to some of the people familiar with the matter, attorneys for Mr. Weiner have had discussions with federal prosecutors in Manhattan in hopes of dissuading them from bringing charges, or at least from bringing the most serious one: production of child pornography, which carries a 15-year mandatory minimum prison sentence upon conviction."

Dead Stop For the New
Howard Beale
As the media ties to push Weiner out the mayoral campaign, the real race has been put on hold. With the high ratings and interest in the Weiner Huma Realty Show - leads not only local but also national news one wonders if the media really wants the former congressman to pull out. The city residents are being robbed with finding out what the candidates would do to solve the pressing problems of the day. The candidates are winning also. They do not have to make any promises or commitments to the public. All that is left for Weiner to do is to tell New Yorkers to open their windows and shout out that "I Am As Mad As Hell That the Middle Class Is Being Pushed Out of the City, And I Am Not Going To Take It Any More."

“Shame on us,” Cuomo said, before aides contended the governor was only jesting. Now the governor needs to speak again, seriously and with the full moral authority he wields both among the Democrats and among many New Yorkers. He needs to speed the Weiner debacle to an end with a declaration that the Democratic field has far better to offer.
Even Weiner's pals want him to drop out of the race:

Mayor's Race Interrupted For Weiner Huma Realty Show
We "Was" Robbed
It is Not A Circus. What is going on now in the mayor's race is undemocratic. New Yorkers are not being allow to choose a candidate who will be their next mayor based on the merits. The media has turned the race into a realty show. The Weiner Spitzer uproar has been manufactured by their opponents, their opponents’ surrogates and the special interests that have cast their lots in favor of one of these rivals, who are now petrified that they may have bet wrong and lose control of the city's government.
Where is the Outrage to sexual harassment, member item, scandal cover-ups, Corrupt Pols Only Weiner?
Special Interests Permanent Government Does Not Care About Pols and Lobbyist that Rob NY As Long As They Are Allow To Have Control And Rob NY Also
Just as disingenuous as the moaning about the shame Spitzer and Weiner’s candidacies have brought upon New York City politics—as if our current elected officials were held up as paragons of virtue—is the criticism that Spitzer’s self-funded bid is undemocratic. We have seen time and again that when it is in the self-interest of New York politicians to turn a blind eye to sexual harassment, member item abuse, scandal cover-ups and outright corruption, the same permanent government members who have now through their control and ownership of the city media destroyed the mayor's race. Just because two candidates may get elected that they cannot control, Weiner and Spitzer.

NY Times Editorial
Mr. Weiner and the Elusive Truth
At some point, the full story of Anthony Weiner and his sexual
relationships and texting habits will finally be told. In the meantime,
the serially evasive Mr. Weiner should take his marital troubles and
personal compulsions out of the public eye, away from cameras, off the
Web and out of the race for mayor of New York City.
Mr. Weiner, who resigned from Congress two years ago after sending lewd messages and photos of his crotch to women he had not met, was forced to revisit the issue
on Tuesday, and so were we all. A Web site called The Dirty had another
woman’s story, another round of sex texts, and another picture of Mr.
Weiner’s penis. The startling news was that this new episode apparently
took place last summer, only a few months before Mr. Weiner was to begin
another run at public office. The marital trauma that Mr. Weiner and
his wife, Huma Abedin, had said was behind them was not as far behind as
we thought.
When the first texts were revealed two years ago, Mr. Weiner lied about
it, saying he had been the victim of hackers. Then he owned up,
tearfully abandoned his office and retreated into private life. Then he
was back, telling the world that therapy and his wife’s forgiveness had
turned him around and that he was ready to begin a new chapter. That
turned out to be the mayor’s race, which he entered in May.
What he did not say then, and what voters did not realize until Tuesday, was that his resignation had not been the end of his sexual misconduct.
What he did not say then, and what voters did not realize until Tuesday, was that his resignation had not been the end of his sexual misconduct.
The timing here matters, as it would for any politician who violates the
public’s trust and then asks to have it back. Things are different now,
he insists. “This behavior is behind me,” he said again on Tuesday. He
suggested that people should have known that his sexting was an
unresolved problem well into 2012.
That’s ridiculous and speaks to a familiar but repellent pattern of
misleading and evasion. It’s up to Mr. Weiner if he wants to keep
running, to count on voters to forgive and forget and hand him the keys
to City Hall. But he has already disqualified himself.
It’s difficult not to feel for Ms. Abedin. The couple deserved privacy
as they worked through their problems — and they had it, until they
re-emerged in public life and Mr. Weiner decided he was a good fit to
run New York City. Mr. Weiner and Ms. Abedin have been saying that his
sexual behavior is not the public’s business. Well, it isn’t, until they
make it our business by plunging into a political campaign.
Mr. Weiner says he is staying in the mayoral race. To those who know his
arrogance and have grown tired of the tawdry saga he has dragged the
city into, this is not surprising.
More Why Weiner must go: the Daily News editorial
The public Weiner(NYP) "Last August, she was the focus of what People magazine described as the couple’s first joint interview since his resignation from Congress. Under a family photo with their new baby, she assured readers that “Anthony has spent every day since [the scandal] trying to be the best dad and husband he can be.” That appeared at a time when Anthony was apparently sending out the explicit messages we are reading about today. Maybe the couple didn’t outright lie, but they didn’t tell the full truth, either."
