Anthony Weiner tweeted 17-year-old girl, but congressman swears it wasn't dirty: sources

Creepy congressman Anthony Weiner tweeted with a 17-year-old high school girl - but he insists he kept his pants on.

"She was not targeted in any way and did not receive any inappropriate messages or photos or anything from the congressman," a source close to the Delaware girl told the Daily News. "If she had, her family would have filed charges."

The News is not identifying the teenager.

That revelation came as Weiner got his first shoutout of support from a prominent Democrat - Harlem heavyweight Rep. Charlie Rangel - since his sexting scandal erupted.

Weiner has admitted committing virtual adultery with six ladies he met on the Web and insisted "to the best of my knowledge they were all adults."

Some conservative bloggers have zeroed-in on an excited tweet the girl posted on April 13 in which she declared, "Seriously talking to Representative Weiner from New York right now! Like is my life real?"

Two days later, she complained that Weiner was no longer following her on Twitter.

"The blogs have taken a few tweets from a 17-year-old kid and put their own twist on messages that were just kid stuff," the source said. "Her family has gone through all her accounts and not found any inappropriate messages."

Team Weiner declined to immediately discuss his contacts with the teenager.

Weiner has been under pressure from fellow Democrats to resign, but Friday Rangel broke ranks and rose to his defense.

"Not one person has given any reason for a resignation," he said.

Rangel, who refused to quit last year after he was censured by the House for failing to pay taxes on his rental income, said he doesn't condone Weiner's X-rated computer conduct.

"I know one thing, he wasn't going with prostitutes," Rangel said. "He wasn't going out with little boys. He wasn't going into men's rooms with broad stances."

Rangel was referring, in order, to Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, who cheated on his wife with hookers; Florida Rep. Mark Foley, who sent sleazy e-mails to teenage boys; and Idaho Sen. Larry "Wide Stance" Craig, who got busted for lewdness in an airport rest room.

All three are Republicans. Vitter remains in the Senate.

Weiner, 46, whose district encompasses parts of Queens and Brooklyn, has a solid majority that wants him to stay, according to a recent New York 1/Marist poll.

Also, Weiner has a $4 million mayoral campaign war chest he can tap to fight ethics charges.

The scandal surrounding Weiner, whose wife Huma Abedin is pregnant, broke after he sent a Seattle college student a picture of his bulging underwear - and lied about it.

Within days the other Weiner girls were outed.

It won’t be too long before him and Edwards could tag-team each other.

Waiting for "Reverend" Jackson and Larry Flynt character references any minute now.

An endorsement from Charlie Rangel... wow. That’s right up there with a sharp stick in the eye!

“If she had, her family would have filed charges.”

Not if they are leftist democrats...they probably got bought off and don’t care that their daughter was ‘virtually’ molested by Weiner. I swear these people don’t care about anything other than their marxist agenda...nothing else matters...not even their own children.

With the internet publication of the explicit photo of him in a state of arousal, I predict that coming next election, Anthony Weiner will be facing some STIFF competition!

Oh, they would? We know them that well? Talk about non-proof "proof."

I’ve seen Teachers losing their jobs and going to jail over it.

Can you imagine if this was a General in the military? He would be busted down to private, sent to prison and dishonorably discharge.

If the congress does not do anything, then that means they think Wiener’s behavior is perfectly acceptable. I knew the guy was stupid, but I did not think he was crazy. This type of behavior is what you normally what you get from a psycho path. I wonder if this goes much deeper? The FBI should be checking ALL of his emails, Tweets, Facebook, etc...

Wiener’s 15 minutes of fame is extending for more than 4 hours. Shouldn’t he be seeing a doctor by now?

I hear that this 17 year-old girl who exchanged tweets with Weiner was interviewed by law enforcement today. Could Weiner be charged with a crime because she is a minor? If so, that would really force his hand to resign, maybe.

In the meantime, Weiner gets a vote of encouragement by none other than Charlie Rangel. Rangel reminds us that if you're a powerful Dem congressman, you can survive even blatant tax cheating without even being indicted.

His mentor Bill “It wasn’t sex” Clinton taught him well.

They have learned from Bill Clinton. Guess we can thank Trent Lott and the rest of the gutless RINOs that did not remove Clinton from office. After all “it was just about sex”... remember that defense?

Perhaps the Democrats had pictures of Trent Lott and it’s why he went soft on Clinton? Nevertheless, Weiner is proof and a prime example of what is wrong with Washington today.

Probably all depends on what the little pervert sent her.

Fox News’ online report states that, following questioning, the police left, “followed by the daughter and mother, who left in a separate car. It was not clear if the mother and daughter were going to continue the conversation with police at another location.”

If there’s any good news for Weiner to be read from that, it’s that the reporter did not note the police removing any computers, or other evidence, from the residence. The New Castle Police have not returned calls for comment, and their public information officer’s voicemail is full, so it could be some time before more details are known.

In this particular case, I am actually willing to give all parties involved the benefit of the doubt and say that their communications were not dirty.

YET.

I’m guessing his M.O. is something like this: he sees a cute female following him on Twitter, he follows back. Messages them a few times, and probably up the ante with flirtaceousness each time, probably gauging the receptivity of taking it to the next level. It was only a matter of time.

No. The DNC is above all law.
They can lie to Congress and the FBI.
They can steal code level documents.
They can violate the US Constitution at will.
