Former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner has been released from federal prison months early after exhibiting good behavior.
The former Democratic rising star, serving a 21-month sentence for sexting a 15-year-old girl, is currently living either in a halfway house or in home detention, according to online Federal Bureau of Prisons records.
It's unclear when exactly Weiner left the Massachusetts facility he entered in 2017. He was scheduled for release in May, but federal inmates earn 47 days each year for good behavior and are often transferred early to transitional housing.
Weiner was first elected to Congress in 1998 and became a pervasive TV personality. He married then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's closest personal aide, Huma Abedin, in 2010 at a ceremony officiated by former President Bill Clinton.
The New Yorker suffered a humiliating downfall in 2011 when he accidentally tweeted a photo of his crotch. After resigning, he sought a comeback with a run for New York City mayor, only to be again humiliated with revelations he was sexting a woman named Sydney Leathers using the alias "Carlos Danger."
Despite repeatedly apologizing, Weiner could not break his bad habits.
In 2015, he sent a 40-year-old divorcee a lewd photo of himself while laying next to his infant son. He later sexted a North Carolina teen, resulting in his incarceration.
During the 2016 election, the discovery of emails from Clinton's time as secretary of state on a device that Weiner used resulted in then-FBI Director James Comey reopening the criminal investigation into Clinton's conduct using a private email server for official business — an action many Democrats say influenced the election.
Abedin filed for divorce from Weiner in 2017, but withdrew the filing last year.
Weiner called himself a "very sick man" when he was sentenced and must now register as a sex offender.
Who really cares about this pampered jew anymore? He's last year's birdcage liner.....and should stay that way!!
