Today we find that Andrew Breitbart’s source for the smear attack against Rep. Anthony Weiner, Dan Wolfe (aka @patriotusa76) has deleted his entire Twitter account.

There’s been a bad smell about this story from the beginning, and it just got exponentially worse.

Meanwhile, the New Republic’s James Downie contacted forensic image analyst Hany Farid, who maintains a database of 15,000 cameras, phones, and tablets, and asked him to analyze the infamous crotch photo that started this whole ridiculous nontroversy. Farid discovered that the photo does not match any device in his entire database, whereas photographs taken by Rep. Weiner match the Blackberry profile: EXCLUSIVE: New Forensic Details About Weinergate Photo.

This means that the picture was either taken by a device not in Farid’s database — or it’s a fake that’s been manipulated in some way.

Somebody spray some air freshener in here. Andrew Breitbart’s rabid smear attempt against one of the most effective Democratic congressmen is reeking like a dead flounder.
