Clinton's folks knew about pedo-tweeter Weiner 5 years ago.

And did nothing about it.

Hillary Clinton's staffers knew as early as 2011 that Anthony Weiner had been messaging an underage girl, but they did nothing about it, according to WikiLeaks emails published Monday.

John Podesta - now chair of Clinton's presidential campaign - and Neera Tanden, another adviser, were forwarded news of an investigation into Weiner's online contact with a 17-year-old Delaware high school student by Jennifer Palmieri, the current campaign communications director, in June 2011.

At the time he was married to Huma Abedin, another member of Clinton's inner circle, who is now at the center of fresh FBI investigation into the handling of classified material while Clinton was in office.
The email detailed lurid claims of private messages to an underage girl being investigated by police - and was met with the response 'oof' by Podesta.

'Police on Friday afternoon came to the home of a 17-year-old high school junior to ask her about direct online communications she has had with Rep. Anthony Weiner,' email read, quoting a Fox News article from the same time.

'Two officers from the New Castle County Police Department arrived at the girl's home around 4:30 p.m. and asked to speak with the girl's mother about the daughter's contact with Weiner. Another officer appeared at the home a short time later.'

Palmieri forwarded the news article to Podesta and Tanden.

Six days later, on June 16, 2011, Weiner announced his resignation after accidentally tweeting a photo of himself in bulging briefs to all of his followers.

Despite that Abedin stood by him.

Sources close to the 17-year-old at the time told Fox News that the girl and Weiner had direct-messaged each other on Twitter.

In her feed, she expressed her love of married men, according to Patterico.com.

At one point she said: 'HE IS MINE ALL MINE HE LOVES ME AND NO ONE ELSE ILY ILY ILY!!!' and added '@RepWeiner I'm in love with you' two days later.

At the time Weiner admitted that he had contact with the girl, but denied sending inappropriate messages, according to Politico.

The FBI sensationally announced on Friday that it was investigating thousands of emails that might be related to the former secretary of state's private server.

So Palmieri read an article about the husband of a close associate and passed it along to others. The police are already investigating.

So, um....what does "and did nothing about it" mean exactly? What do you think they *should* have done?

I got confused as to timeline. I thought that the investigation of the 17 year old was later.

What? We all knew about it 5 years ago. Thank Mr Breitbart for that.

And JG already asked the important question. What the hell was Clinton supposed to do? Since when does the Secretary of State police US representatives? You going to blame Condi Rice for Denny Hastert?
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

Well, I wasn't aware that Rice's closest advisor was married to a pedophile.

So you'd have her fire the spouse for the actions of her husband?

No, but you indicated she should done something about Weiner. You concede that Secretaries of State should have no policing function over US Representatives, that pretty much leaves the spousal tie.

So if not that, then what are you on about? What should Clinton have done?

No, I didn't.

Anyone who is aware of child sexual abuse, must, by law, report it. I could lose my license here in Illinois if I didn't. As I said, I was confused on the timeline, so I'll withdraw that comment. But, the point that ANYONE who knows about it is obligated to report it stands. Huma should have reported it, if she knew, as well as Palmieri and the others.

Surely you don't think they were obligated to report it after reading about it in the news.

Of course not.
