Open letter to Comey from Weiner's teen victim: you victimized me too!

[mainer]

I thought your job as FBI Director was to protect me. I thought if I cooperated with your investigation, my identity as a minor would be kept secret. That is no longer the case. My family and I are barraged by reporters’ phone calls and emails. I have been even been blamed in a newspaper for causing Donald Trump to now be leading in some polls and costing Hillary the election.

Anthony Weiner is the abuser. Your letter helped that abuse to continue. How can I rebuild my life when you have made finding out my “story” the goal of every reporter? When I meet with my therapist next time, she will already know what we are going to talk about before I get there by reading Friday, October 28th, 2016’s New York Times article.

I may have been Weiner’s victim, but the real story here is that I am a survivor. I am strong, intelligent, and certain that I will come out from under this nightmare, but it will not be as a result of your doing your job to protect me. I hope that by making my letter to you public, you will think about how your actions affect the victims of the crimes you are investigating. The election is important, yes, but what happened to me and how it makes me feel and how others see me, is much more important. It’s time that the FBI Director puts his victims’ rights above political views.

16. WOW!

This is one brave person. She should sue him for damages. Come has really gone to far this time. Sadly I didn't think that her identity would be released, he is scum, true scum.

[PearliePoo2]

7. OMG...horrible!

Who was the rat bastard that put this kid's name out there? She's in therapy and begging for the press to leave her alone. They're swarming everywhere. What a mess.

[Pachamama]

8. Furious

I am absolutely sickened and furious at Comey and the GOP and Trump people....

Poor girl. I am glad she is getting help and seems to have support around her that allows her to be strong enough to come forward and state openly how she is being victimized by Comey.

She and so many others are just the collateral damage to the GOP...others being the American people...

When is this shit going to stop?

[DK504]

18. They just care who they hurt, humiliate or damage in order to get ahead

their mission is to destroy in a sacred earth policy anyone that will try to balance the country out. The Corporate overlords must have that extra dollar.

I have to wonder what the history books will say about our time her on earth.

[SunSeeker]

9. Wow.

[Ligyron]

10. Ya know, and shame on the press too!

There's some places you don't go when covering a juvenile.

[gordianot]

11. This should be Director Comey's ticket to unemployment.

Empowering sexual predators should not be in the Director's job description.

[Fast Walker 52]

12. wow, hadn't thought of this

yikes

[musicblind]

13. Why isn't this all over TV and on the front page of all major newspapers? n/t

[Oldem]

14. See the most recent post of a Mike Lukovich 'toon that answers this question.

[Stonepounder]

15. I want to wait just a little for some of the MSM to pick this up.

The sources I can find for this are Buzzfeed and tabloids. I checked NYTimes articles from 10/28/16 mentioning Weiner and the minor is only referred to as "a 15-year-minor from North Carolina". She is not mentioned by name. So...? Is this really for real?

[Bradical79]

17. I feel bad

While I was angry with Comey and his politicization of the FBI, I'd completely forgotten about her and what Weiner did in the first place
