Weiner Spent $45K Investigating Own Crotch

Sexting politician Anthony Weiner paid a private eye almost $45,000 in campaign cash to investigate whether a hacker posted a crotch shot on his Twitter feed, even though he knew he posted the photo himself, campaign spending records show. Weiner's attempt to cover his tracks occurred shortly after Memorial Day 2011, when his first sexting scandal erupted and he went into spin control trying to save his career in Congress. "It's wrong on just so many levels," said Melanie Sloan, director of the nonpartisan watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
