It may not have been personal. The agents had an excuse to send sexy photos for porn and talk dirty on the Internet and call it a federal investigation. The whole Ginger/Mary Ann angle points to some agent indulging his fantasies.

i have heard no rumors of child molestation and i think i would have heard if there were any. i have heard this all started with a pissed off former employee. but why this becomes a federal concern is beyond me.

ben had it right. “a no-commitments romp in the hay [turned] into a federal court case.”

go chase a crook.

federal agents stationed in a district where there’s just not that much to do [compared with other duty stations]?? Paul Roberts is also an AUSA that just doesn’t like to say no to federal agents…

What if any are Dr. Weiner’s political connections?

That would seem to be the first question. Cherchez le Rove, as they say, or ought to say.
