Breitbart (I keep spelling his name various ways, sorry) did try to get ahold Mike Stark, who deleted his Twitter account immediately after all this broke (he forward the stuff to Breitbart), made claims he possessed other stuff, e-mailed he didn't want to get involved, was one of the ones who were stalking Weiner, etc. Alot of weirdness going on there. You can read them on Kos. Yes, their stuff was hacked into and published.

Weiner probably should have apologized to Breitbart, but Breitbart just got lucky with his minions sending him something real. He's still known for being career-destroying by manufacturing lies.

Weiner on day one should have said, "Yeah, it's me, I goofed up, I'm now going home as I owe my wife everything if she'll still have me" and been done with it. He didn't break the law. He was just a loser jackass.
