Timeline of Anthony Weiner’s Sociopathic Sexting and The Dishonesty of Him and His Wife Huma Abedin
Filed under: General — Patterico @ 7:10 am
Here is the timeline you need to read to understand what a sociopath Anthony Weiner is, and how his wife Huma Abedin has actively helped him lie to the public about his supposed rehabilitation.
The sources for this timeline include:
- TheDirty.com timeline (TheDirty.com is the site that broke this story) based on interviews with Weiner’s latest sexting partner
June 3-5, 2011: Anthony Weiner (supposedly) dramatically decides not to lie to Huma any more. From the New York Times puff piece:
By June 1, when Weiner said, “I can’t say with certitude” if the picture was of him, it was clear, at least to most of the world, that he was guilty of something. That weekend, Weiner and Abedin escaped to a friend’s house in the Hamptons to get away from all the “hoopla,” as Weiner calls it, “and that’s when people starting coming out of the woodwork. I got a call from Chris Cuomo saying that they had someone who was going to say that I texted with her. It reached this point where I just sat down with Huma and said, ‘Listen, I can’t. . . . I don’t want to lie.’ . . . I just didn’t want to lie anymore to her.” Here, his voice cracks and tears well up in his eyes. “I have a choppy memory of it, but she was devastated. She immediately said, ‘Well you’ve got to stop lying to everyone else too.’ And basically we drove back to the city, and she said: ‘You’ve just got to tell everyone the truth. Telling me doesn’t help any.’ It was brutal. It was completely out of control. There was the crime, there was the cover-up, there was harm I had done to her. And there’s no one who deserved this less than Huma. That’s really the bottom line. No one deserved to have a dope like me do that less than she did.”
Abedin’s memory of this moment is a little sharper. “The weekend was over, we’re about to leave, the car is packed, and Anthony said: ‘I have something to tell you. I can’t lie to you anymore. It’s true. It’s me. The picture is me. I sent it. Yes, these stories about the other women are true.’ And it was every emotion that one would imagine: rage and anger and shock. But more than anything else, in the immediate, it was disbelief. The thing that I consciously remember saying over and over and over again is: ‘I don’t understand. What is going on? What’s happening to our lives?’ ”
June 5, 2011: Andrew Breitbart gets the goods on Weiner. I spoke to Andrew Breitbart on the phone on June 5, 2011, and he told me what he had. This part of the New York Times story still irritates me, because they wrote out of the history books the way that Breitbart’s revelations clearly prompted the hasty press conference. I have much more on this part of the timeline, but have placed it in a separate page because it is a distraction from the flow of this timeline.
June 6, 2011: Hasty press conference called. Weiner admits he had been smearing Breitbart and that he was sexting multiple women.
June 9, 2011: This blog publishes proof that Weiner sent direct messages to a Delaware high school girl, including a reference to “cape and tights,” a grooming line he also used with an adult woman with whom he had sexted.
June 10, 2011: Police show up to the Delaware teen’s home. Acting on the information from my June 9, 2011 blog post, a Fox News reporter is there when police arrive and reports the story.
June 16, 2011: Weiner resigns. Reports later say the revelations of his communications with an underage girl caused President Obama to withdraw his support, leading to his ultimate decision.
June 23, 2011: Mike Stack, one of the “Born Free Crew” who warned young girls on Twitter about Weiner’s sickness, is SWATted. On this same day, “Alicia Pain” writes me to tell me to stop writing about Gennette Cordova and Rep AW:
Please think about your family. This story is not worth it. I can assure you that.
Please remember, your safety cannot be assured if you continue.
July 1, 2011: My family is SWATted.
December 21, 2011: Weiner and Abedin have a baby boy.
July 12, 2012: Weiner starts talking to “Sydney Leathers” (identified by BuzzFeed here), according to this timeline from the site that broke the latest story. Quoting the girl:
Anthony Weiner And I First started talking July 12, 2012.
July 18, 2012: People Magazine puff piece appears:
“It took a lot of work to get to where are are today, but I want people to know we’re a normal family,” says Abedin, 37.
“Anthony has spent every day since [the scandal] trying to be the best dad and husband he can be,” she says of her husband, who does all the laundry. “I’m proud to be married to him.”
July 19, 2012: One day after the People Magazine puff piece appears, Weiner finds Sydney Leathers on Formspring:
July 19, 2012 – November 2012: Anthony Weiner engages in intense sexual discussions with Sydney Leathers. From the timeline:
Things were very intense by August 2012/already talks of the Chicago sex condo and having sexual conversations. We would send naked images to each other and have phone sex. Anthony Weiner would send me penis pictures from his Carlos Danger yahoo email to my Gmail.
You aren’t going to read this in Big Media, so I think you should see some of the stuff he was saying to this young woman while he was supposedly a diaper-changing new dad whose life was turned around by the birth of his son:
He really has a thing about gagging women with his erect penis. That concept come up a lot in Weinergate I.
It goes on and on and on like that. From another post:
She really thought Anthony Weiner and her were in love, they spoke on the phone daily multiple times a day for 6 months. Anthony Weiner played with her emotions and mind. Most calls were phone sex. He promised her many things including a condo in Chicago (1235 S. Prairie Ave) where they were planning to meet up to have sex. Anthony Weiner has a shoe fetish, particularly heels.
He even asked her which of the pictures from Weinergate I turned her on the most:
And, disturbingly for a guy who was talking about “cape and tights” to a high school girl in Delaware — a grooming line he had used with an adult woman with whom he had sexted — Weiner asks Sydney Leathers if her “pussy” is “smooth”:
Anthony Weiner called himself “Carlos Danger” in some of these messages. He promised the woman a job at Politico but immediately after bringing it up he asked her to “do me a solid” and hard delete all their messages.
November 2012: Carlos Danger and Sydney Leathers’s relationship starts to fizzle out:
By November 2012 our relationship began to fizzle out.
December 2012: Sydney Leathers and Anthony “Carlos Danger” Weiner speak once:
We only spoke once in December 2012 . . .
April 10, 2013: Puff piece appears online in the New York Times that portrays Weiner’s supposed coming clean and being totally honest in June 2011. The article also has Weiner and Abedin portraying their new son as having totally changed Weiner’s perspective:
“But in the confines of our home and our relationship and our parenting this child and our love for each other — she said she wanted to get through it, she wanted not to conflate the giant international news story with the two people who were involved in it. And a lot of women couldn’t do that. And Jordan has given us a lot of perspective. We have to deal with this a lot. It’s not behind us. It kind of bubbles around and comes up in different ways. But she’s, um. . . .” Here, he paused and took a deep breath and started to cry. “She’s given. . . .” He stopped again, could barely get the words out. “She’s given me another chance. And I am very grateful for that. And I’m trying to make sure I get it right.”
Immediately after April 10, 2013 New York Times puff piece: After the appearance of the New York Times puff piece, Weiner reactivates his Facebook account and asks Sydney Leathers what she thought of it:
We only spoke once in December 2012, and then I didn’t hear from Anthony Weiner again until April 11, 2013 when a NYT article about him was released. He reactivated his Facebook and asked me what I thought of it.
May 2013: Weiner enters mayor’s race.
Huma Abedin says she knew about all this. Here is yesterday’s disgusting press conference, in which Weiner says in a sing-song and bored voice that this is nothing new, and his dishonest wife gets up to stand by him.
[iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ER6MJzyx9UY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""][/iframe]
Here is what Weiner said at the press conference about when his wife knew:
She knew all along this process . . . I was more and more honest with her. I told her everything. This is something we knew going into the decision about whether I would run.
Huma Abedin says “it is between us, and our marriage.” No, ma’am, it isn’t. He is running for the office of Mayor of New York. And you helped him lie about this scandal to help his candidacy. This is a public matter now.
For what it’s worth, the New York Times, the very paper that gave a dishonest wet kiss to Weiner in April, is now telling him to get out of the race.
Mr. Weiner, your antics have become too much even for a paper that was essentially willing to lie for you, sir.
Lucky for you, they will apparently never be too much for the woman, Huma Abedin, who is willing to lie for you, by portraying you as a reformed man when she knew good and damned well you weren’t.

Huma may be modeling herself after Hillary: a hapless female linked through careerism to a horndog for whom she has no feelings. Perhaps in the future, if Weiner is successful politically (really? yeah, maybe), she’ll be the wife never ever seen with her philandering dishonest husband in the same room, but who goes on to have political success of her own, and smiles as everyone refuses to talk about how their marriage is a sham, which they fail to discuss mostly because duh.

A guy who recently published a book about Bill and Hillary says he doesn’t think they see each other that often.
Nobody but nobody thinks they love each other. But they are married, in name anyway.
Hillary is Huma’s mentor.
Comment by Patterico (9c670f) — 7/24/2013 @ 7:52 am
To me, that’s a crap decision to make when you are this young and you have a new baby.
But that part is her business — until she starts participating in public lies about it.
Comment by Patterico (9c670f) — 7/24/2013 @ 7:53 am
Is it me or is Weiner almost deliberately daring us to not elect him? The guy looks like what I imagine a typical gay porn star would look like, he sexts underage children, he’s got a Muslim wife who wouldn’t leave him if he beheaded her. He’s the arch-typical Democrat.

Hillary is Huma’s mentor.
Perhaps in more ways than one. Admittedly the following is so-called hearsay. But all the gossip surrounding Hillary for years makes assumptions about her — far more than those about Huma — almost a given—eg, why she has long not mind being a symbolic doormat to Bill.
coachisright.com, June 2011: In mid 2007 rumors started to circulate about Huma Abedin a stunningly beautiful staffer working for Hillary Clinton. The wagging tongues of Washington asked logical questions about Huma. “If Hillary is bisexual (as had long been thought and occasionally uttered in public), what is the nature of her relationship with the dark eyed enchanting Abedin, a young lady from a strict Muslim family?”
“Is the fact that Huma was never seen twice in the same designer outfit and lived in a $649,000 condo explainable because she was trading sexual favors with Hillary for a fabulous lifestyle?” “If so what does that make Huma?”
“How did Huma, whose government salary was listed as $9,999, live as she did?”
“Is Hillary Clinton a lesbian?”
Is Huma Abedin her lesbian “kept woman?”
In 2007 Michael Musto a Village Voice columnist who writes about gay issues commented that Hillary might be “Gayle King-ing” Huma, that is getting her a higher profile in order to head off media scrutiny about her and why Clinton would be “hiding” Huma and the true nature of their relationship.
In her tell all book about her affair with Bill Clinton Gennifer Flowers wrote that when she asked Bill if Hillary is a lesbian he laughed and made reference to her being more experienced with women then he is.

It’s funny how Democrats say the GOP (and conservatives in particular) are engaging in a “war on women”. And yet, Democrats like Abedin, like Hillary Clinton before her, enable and encourage, actively promote, sexual predation of women.
You know what Sydney Leathers, Huma Abedin, or Hillary Clinton aren’t? Victims.

According to the lovely Sandra Fluke, it’s the wicked “conservative, evangelical, Tea Party Republicans” who are responsible for the little Weiner’s sexting.
Since we wicked conservatives won’t pay every penny of poor women’s birth control, the little Weiner was behaving responsibly in not engaging in behavior that might knock up some poor woman. The notion that, if he’s horny,l he could turn to someone like his wife seems to have eluded the lovely Miss Fluke>

Her demeanor and outfit seemed odd to me, yes. She looked like a worn out housewife, not a trophy wife.
She reminds me of the phrase “utterly indiscriminate” used by writers describing the left’s prohibition against moral judgment. Huma has no moral compass left; all that remains is the career and “the cause” of progressivism. So she goes to therapy to talk herself out of her husband’s moral depravity, and then tacitly even supports it. No wonder she’s worn out.

Anthony Weiner is a sick, pencil-necked, pervert, a modern day flasher, and his wife, whatever she is, is at least smart enough to avoid being caught on camera.
But, on second thought, somehow, nagging at the back of my mind, Anthony is exactly the sort of guy who’d sneak a camera into his bedroom.
I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the these two twisted pumpkins not by a long shot.

Weiner in 2013: “I have a choppy memory of it, but she was devastated.”
He didn’t claim that in 2011.
In 2011, he said:
nypost.com (note this leads to a page to print)
My wife has known about some of these online relationships since before we were married. And we spoke frankly about them because — well, we spoke frankly about them.
He stops himself, because if he went on hed be saying “because of the dangers to my political career if this became known.”
He also said:
…my primary apology, as I’ve said several times, is to my wife Huma. But she made it very clear that she thought what I did was very dumb, and she was not happy about it. But she also — and she’s very disappointed — and she also told me that she loved me, and wanted us to, you know, to pull through this.
Also from that press conference in 2011:
Q: Are you going to split up?
REP. WEINER: I love my wife very much, and we have no intention of splitting up over this.
Q: What kind of — (off mic) — relationship –
Q: Where is she?
REP. WEINER: We have been through — we have been through a great deal together, and we will — we will weather this. I love her very much, and she loves me.
Through a great deal together?
Also:
Do you think it was inappropriate because you were married?
REP. WEINER: I think it is more inappropriate, things that I have done since I married.
Q: Then why –
REP. WEINER: My primary — my primary sense of regret and my primary apology goes to my wife. I should not have done this, and I should not have done this, particularly when I was married. That’s why I make that distinction.
