Hillary Clinton supporters are speculating about an Anthony Weiner tell-all

Sources with ties to Hillary Clinton’s campaign are concerned that Twitter enthusiast and former Congressman Anthony Weiner might write a book about his intimate involvement with the Clintons, whom he has known for years.

“One of the things they’re deeply worried about is that Weiner has no income and is not employable,” says a source who has worked with the campaign. “He has one thing — a book.”

Weiner and his long-suffering wife Huma Abedin — a chief aid to Hillary Clinton — separated last week after the former Congressman was caught up in yet another sexting scandal. This one involved a flirtatious photo Weiner sent to a woman he hadn’t met in which his infant son is resting just inches from his crotch. In the aftermath of that debacle, NY1 announced that they had placed Weiner on “indefinite leave” from his gig as a political commentator on the cable news network. This paper also decided against running columns penned by Weiner after learning of the illicit tweets.
