I wasn’t aware that Fox News Channel hosts had ultimatum power over the FBI. But they are the most powerful name in news. This is from tonight’s O’Reilly Factor.
[Lis] Wiehl noted that she had attempted to reach FBI officials and get a comment on the record about the current state of their potential investigation, but they “would not confirm nor deny” anything. “They certainly can confirm,” O’Reilly countered repeatedly, until Wiehl modified her comment: “they did not confirm nor deny.” “That’s wrong,” an outraged O’Reilly replied. “We pay their salaries.”
Guilfoyle agreed with this sentiment, appearing both upset at the FBI’s silence and saying she was “highly skeptical” of Rep. Weiner’s claims of innocence, noting that hackers rarely let a victim regain control of their account immediately. “I want the FBI to tell the American public what they’re doing,” O’Reilly concluded after they group discussed potential legal action and O’Reilly admitted that he was looking at the story through a strictly legal, and not technological, perspective. Then he issued an ultimatum– until he tapes tomorrow’s show– for a straight answer. “With all due respect, Mr. Mueller, we’re going to want a statement from you.”
Just to wrap our minds around all this: A tweet of a link to a lewd pic now has the highest rated host in cable news calling out the head of the FBI. So, yeah, this story has gone mainstream.
So the Air Force One pic gets a pass? Unbelievable.

Now, THAT’S funny.
A picture of a man’s crotch in (covered by) ‘gray briefs’ is now defined as lewd and or obscene? Though such may be rather immature and irrepsonsible, am I missing something? At best it would be subjective and contiguent on federal internet related laws and that of their respective States.
For crying out loud when we go boating, we see boatloads of girls wearing ‘vacuum’ fitted bikini’s and thongs that thoroughly repulses Ma and she’d be laughed at by law enforcement should she try to perpetuate any legal perceedings against those girls….even those who are replicas of manatees.
Either Weiner sent it or he didn’t. If he didn’t then who did? Did they have permission from Weiner to use his account? If not, then how did this person gain access? can this person gain access to the accounts of other Congressmen/women? That should be what the FBI is looking at – either investigate it as unauthorized access to a Congressman’s account or state that no crime occurred (and thus infer that Weiner sent it).
Gone mainstream? Not hardly. Mainstream will be when the NY Times puts it on the front page. And Brian Wonderchin leads with it. Don’t hold your breath. Those guys are too busy taking Sarah Palin to task for not holding their hand on her bus tour.
If the weiner fits.
