The former congressman and a member of the Democratic Party has been caught with his trousers down before.

Trump gave a total of $4,300 in 2007 and 2010 to Weiner’s congressional runs, and $150 to a city council race in 1997.
Frequently by Clinton’s side, Abedin was spotted outside fundraisers for the Democratic presidential nominee on Sunday in the Hamptons, on New York’s Long Island. “But she has not been chief of her husband’s staff”, he said. After initially claiming his account was hacked, Weiner acknowledged inappropriate online communication with several women.
The latest in the line of scandals proved to be the last straw, however.
In one of the pictures, Weiner is lying on a bed with his toddler son while texting the woman, according to the Post. Ms. Abedin’s friend said the separation from Mr. Weiner had been brewing for some time. He added their conversations were “private” and “always appropriate”.
Clinton strongly supported Abedin when Weiner’s sexually charged text messages first came to light in 2011, a year into their marriage, and again in 2013 when Weiner was running for mayor of NY.
“In my eyes, the guy isn’t guilty of a crime sufficient to take his son away from him and to deprive the little boy of having an intact family”.
“Our marriage, like many others has had its ups and its downs”. Some conservatives have suggested Abedin has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic political movement, citing her listing as an assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, a publication edited by her mother.
Thankfully, Abedin and her four-year-old are now away from the spotlight as they’re in the Hamptons with the Clintons.
The latest alleged indiscretion happened at about 3am on July 31 previous year, according to the “New York Post”, when Mr Weiner and an unnamed woman were reportedly talking about massage parlours near his former apartment. However, while the people of the city were getting ready to give him a second chance, it was revealed that the disgraced ex-congressman had been sexting with various women, using Internet handle “Carlos Danger”. He later apologized for “favoriting” the message saying that he “accidentally hit the star thingy on a @voxdotcom story about Tinder”.
I wrote about Huma recently: Huma Abedin, Daughter of Jihad and Huma Abedin, Hillary’s Bribe Broker.
Talk of sexual addiction arises, but so does the idea that Weiner might just be suffering from severe professional jealousy in trying to ruin Abedin’s career after his had failed. Asked about Trump’s treatment of women, Harris responded with an attack on Clinton: “What I think hilarious is Hillary Clinton is no example for any woman”.
Not this time however.
“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband”, Huma, vice chairwoman of the Clinton Campaign, said in a statement.
After condescendingly opining about how Abedin “will be far better off” without her husband, Trump proceeded to extend his political smearing of Abedin to her boss in a statement to the New York Times.
Anthony Weiner is in the news again for shenanigans he’s previously been in the news for.
Abedin is Clinton’s most well known aide.
Abedin is a practical woman.
“Just a quick optics thing”, she told her.
Here is a look back at the events leading up to Monday’s announcement.

“I go through phases where I’ll get up early, I’ll go to the gym, I’ll run, I’ll go on a hike”, Abedin said.
