From the better late than never department, the news has broken that disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner has reportedly checked himself into a sex addiction rehab clinic. Weiner finds himself at the epicenter of the mother of all political shit storms after the FBI discovered an enormous cache of potentially explosive emails on a laptop shared with estranged wife Huma Abedin. Ms. Abedin – Hillary Clinton’s intimate aide – appears to have lied to officials on whether she had surrendered all devices and material when she left the State Department and the ensuing scandal has rocked the presidential race.

According to the Daily Mail exclusive “Anthony Weiner has checked into a SEX ADDICTION treatment center after his sexting relationship with a 15-year-old girl triggered FBI investigation of him, wife Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton”:

Anthony Weiner, the husband of Hillary Clinton’s closest aide Huma Abedin, has checked into a rehab facility for treatment of sex addition.

Out-of-control Weiner, who has been sending sexually-charged messages and obscene pictures to women and at least one teenage girl for years, is now in a treatment facility, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

Friday’s dramatic disclosure by the FBI that it had discovered new emails relevant to their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s secret server was a shock unprecedented in electoral history.

At the center of it, however, is the tragedy of Anthony Weiner’s sex addiction.

The rehab center where Weiner is being treated separates men and women and its program includes counseling for those addicted to  cybersex and exhibitionism as well as addictions to anonymous sex and porn, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Electronic devices are banned at the facility.

Weiner’s world finally came tumbling down on September 21, with the dramatic revelation by DailyMail.com of his months of sexting a 15-year-old high school girl.

He told her he was ‘hard’; that he ‘would bust that tight p****’; sent her unclothed pictures; and told her he had rape fantasies about her. Wiener knew she was 15 – the girl had told him.

At the time of the sexts, Weiner was still married to Abedin – although he complained about their lack of a sex life to the girl – and caring for their son while she campaigned intensively for Clinton.

Considering the media maelstrom that is now swirling due to Weiner’s laptop it’s understandable that he would want to get away from things for awhile until things shake themselves out. One interesting side note is that the Weiner clinic story was also reported by other outlets but Reuters is specifically stating that it could not independently verify the report.

While it is likely that even a sleazebag degenerate like Weiner’s medical confidentiality is being protected by the facility, it may also be a cover story if he has entered protective custody and copped a deal with feds who are investigating the Clinton criminal empire. Carlos Danger would be wise to do something to ensure his personal safety given the history of what happens to those who have run afoul of the peckerwood mafia now that he has a target on his back.
