Weiners are living the high life

From the NY Post:

Anthony Weiner’s wife not only took him back, she took him back in style — moving with the shamed pol into a luxurious, $3.3 million Manhattan pad owned by a deep-pocketed Democratic donor, The Post has learned.

After quitting his Queens House seat amid a notorious sexting scandal, Weiner and beautiful, brainy spouse Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, landed in the sprawling, 12th-floor Park Avenue trophy residence owned by Rosen Partners LLC, which is headed by close Clinton pal Jack Rosen, records show.

Rosen — who oversees the American Jewish Congress — is an influential international political force. He’s been a guest at the White House, flies the Clintons in his private plane, and has poured money into both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s election campaigns over the years, according to campaign-finance records.

He has also contributed several thousand dollars to Weiner’s coffers, and is a top Obama bundler, donating more than $500,000 to the president’s re-election efforts.

The market-rate rent on Weiner and Abedin’s 2,120-square-foot, four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment — where the disgraced pol has said he spends his days doing laundry and changing baby son Jordan’s diapers — is at least $12,000 to $14,000 a month, real-estate sources said.

A much smaller 1,476-square-foot, two-bedroom unit on a lower floor recently rented for $10,000, records show.

Some Weiner-watchers are stunned that the pol, who gave up his $174,000 salary when he resigned, and Huma, who makes around $155,000 annually, can afford the posh pad at 254 Park Ave. South at East 20th Street.

"he reportedly....."

Old Snake In The Grass at it with innuendo and slander again.

Weiner's only wrong was resigning due to a case of delayed adolescence.

His only wrong? I'd say his wrongs are multiple.

Did some kinky shit online with multiple women while his wife was carrying his child.

Sent out a private picture publicly, dragging some poor unassociated woman down with him.

Lied and said he was hacked.

Used campaign money to send a private investigator on a wild goose chase.

Shamed himself, his family and his constituents when the truth finally came out.

As a federal government employee (just like Weiner was, and the wife supposedly is), I am familiar with the payscales. I noticed this interesting disparity a long time ago. They live on Park Avenue, vacation in the Hamptons, and oh by the way isn't her job in DC, with Hillary at the State Department? How does she do her job in NY? Do they also have a sweet house/apartment down in DC that someone is paying for? Lots of questions I'd like answers to.

Weiner must be using his new home as a Campaign Headquarters. Not illegal.
Councilman Domenic Recchia of South Brooklyn, has used an office in his home as a Campaign Headquarters in past elections , in fact he has paid his wife RENT ( over $ 6000 ) for those Headquarters in his house.
They live off their campaign contributions.

But none of it was illegal, Crapper, so who cares?

Considering neither of them had a salary above $200,00 in their life...

I wonder what sort of investments created the cash to afford that $3.3 million apartment and the rest of their lifestyle.

Typical politician from the most notoriously corrupt district in the nation.
The man send explicit pictures of his penis, to woman, who could have been underage. Than lies and blames the opposition (a crime, by the way). Than after the truth comes out, that he's a lying, shifty, corrupt, destiny fiend. He resigns in disgrace.
The reward for this piece of trash is right out of the sitcom, lifestyles of the rich and famous. Cars, homes, luxury and splendor, and of coarse nobody knows how its paid for.
Very typical of NYC, particularly that district.
