his pursuit of Thomas. Try searching google for Weiner/Thomas as many others had been writing about it before this all happened. I don't think I can access them on DU3. If I can I will post some links as there was a lot of discussion and information on his fight against Thomas back then.

I doubt he will continue that fight now having been silenced so completely. But he sure tried and was getting a lot of publicity in the press and online for his efforts before this all happened. I was upset with him for doing anything that would give Breitbart and his right wing friends any fodder at all. He made a mistake and they jumped all over it. I hope he has learned that when you go after the big criminals you have to 'watch your back' every second as they WILL go after you.
