Smoking Gun Investigates Weinergate’s Patient Zero
The Smoking Gun has a very interesting look at Andrew Breitbart’s source for his smear against Rep. Anthony Weiner — the obsessed Internet stalker who went by the idiotic Teabag handle “patriotusa76:” The Wolfe At Anthony Weiner’s Front Door.
For months, Wolfe and several Twitter sidekicks have excoriated Weiner, 46, in the harshest terms. They have criticized his looks, claimed his marriage is a sham, and accused his wife of having ties to al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood. On May 5, Wolfe floated a rumor that compromising photos of a “big time” congressman were in the hands of a “top 5 Right Wing blogger.” He tweeted, “@RepWeiner are you this Congressman?” He reprised this photo rumor in a May 11 tweet.
As the Weiner story began to spread over the weekend—and detractors started accusing him of somehow hacking Weiner’s accounts—Wolfe balked when Breitbart sought to arrange a conference call to discuss how to further exploit and advance “Weinergate.” In e-mails sent from his Yahoo account, Wolfe asked, “Why does he need to speak with me for this?” and “I’m just not sure why he needs to talk to me. Why is talking necessary?”
He also noted that, “I am having major personal problems right now getting worse by the minute.”
In a subsequent May 30 e-mail, Wolfe expounded on these troubles, explaining why he wanted to avoid speaking with his Twitter cronies. “I have ALOT of personal problems I didn’t want to go into—but as I become the focus of this I am more and more afraid this will all come out.”
Wolfe then went on to state that his ex-wife was suing him for custody of their two children and “for lots of other stuff right now. Her attorneys are after everything I own.” Additionally, he reported that, “I have an ex girlfriend who has mental problems causing issues for me at work. My business is suffering as a result.”
