AYER, Mass. (AP) — Disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner has been released from federal prison in Massachusetts.
The New York Democrat, a once-rising star who also ran for mayor, was convicted of having illicit online contact with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl in 2017. He began serving a 21-month prison sentence that November at the Federal Medical Center Devens, located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) west of Boston in Ayer, Massachusetts.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons website now shows Weiner is in the custody of its Residential Re-entry Management office in Brooklyn, New York. It’s not immediately clear when he was transferred and where he’s currently staying. Emails were sent to the bureau, federal court in New York and Weiner’s lawyer requesting comment.
The bureau website shows Weiner is slated to complete his sentence May 14.
The man who would have been Mayor.
It’s strange. I was never one of his constituents. I’m not even a New Yorker, but I still feel like he broke my heart. He was smart and scrappy, and he was on a progressive mission. I wanted him to be my congressman.
He could have been on top of the world, but he fucked it all up. He couldn’t stop fucking it up.
Here’s hoping he keeps a low profile for at least a while. (almost said keeps his head down) We don’t need Carlos Danger right now…the original Anthony we thought we knew would be great right about now. But the real one needs to just zip it.
Release the Wiener!!
At this point just who gives a fuck, he did it to himself and now I just don’t give a shit.
For the moment.
