Given the current mystery surrounding Weinergate, there’s an interesting Tweet that (as of this writing) still remains in Rep. Weiner’s Tweet stream. While we’ve gone to some length to protect the identity of the woman involved, we have confirmed and can document, if need be, that she hails from Seattle, Washington. So the question is, why would Weiner be mindful of the time in Seattle (see the hashtag below) hours before the time he now claims his Facebook account was hacked by someone who then sent an explicit image via Twitter to … a woman in Seattle? 
 
 Here’s s a transcript of the Tweet in question: 
 
 Heading to 30 Rock to chat with Rachel at 9. #Thats545InSeattleIThink 
 
 about 17 hours ago via TweetDeck 
 
 Retweeted by 18 people 
 
 In fact, the Seattle woman in question who later received the explicit image — and who is now being identified at other sites, actually re-tweeted Rep. Weiner’s tweet: Below is a (redacted) screenshot of her retweet: 
 
 Because Twitter timestamps show the actual time in which you’re viewing or screen-grabbing, below is a reconstruction using Weiner’s “Seattle-time Tweet” as our starting point. So, Weiner Tweets that he will be on with Rachel Maddow and uses a hashtag (#Thats545InSeattleIThink) to specifically point out what time his appearance will broadcast in Seattle, where the later recipient of the explicit photo apparently resides. Then, nine minutes after that, Weiner Tweets: 
 
 @RepWeiner Wow, what an honor. Thanks RT @hwinkler4real: @RepWeiner tonight and all time u are so articulate … Have a peaceful weekend 
 
 17 hours, 23 minutes ago 
 
 Then Weiner’s account goes quiet for 3 hours and 24 minutes, with no Tweets whatsoever until an explicit photo is sent to a young woman in … Seattle (see Tweet below). Apparently, Weiner claims that this tweet and the attached photo were sent by an alleged Facebook hacker who gained access to his Twitter account:

 Then, just four minutes after that tweet and accompanying image was sent, Weiner suddenly re- appears publicly on Twitter and begins, based upon an analysis of his Tweet stream for the entire month of April, an atypically busy series of unusual Tweets, before culminating in a claim — out of nowhere – that his Facebook page was allegedly hacked. Here’s a recreation of that stream:

 If nothing else, it does look to have been a very unusual night on Twitter for Representative Weiner and one is left to guess as to why he would have been so concerned about the time in Seattle hours before an alleged hacker sent an explicit image to a woman in … Seattle. 
 
 Imagine that. 

 There are at least two demonstrably false statements issued to the New York Post on behalf of Representative Anthony Weiner by his spokesperson, Dave Arnold. 
 
 Here’s the first [emphasis mine]: 
 
 The tech-savvy congressman saw the picture almost immediately. He had been tweeting about a hockey game just a few minutes earlier. 
 
 An analysis of Rep. Anthony Weiner’s Twitter timeline has already been done here at Big Government that clearly shows Weiner’s Twitter account had been publicly silent for 3 hrs. and 24 mins. prior to the Tweeting of the inappropriate image. Consequently, there was no Tweet about a hockey game “just a few minutes earlier.” Therefore, that statement simply isn’t true. 
 
 Rep. Weiner’s spokesman then falsely claims that after removing the image in question, Weiner joked about the incident a mere 15 minutes later. Again, from the Post: 
 
 Weiner pulled the shot himself, but not before it had been retweeted and screen-grabbed by several followers. Weiner, a voracious user of Twitter, wrote a humorous response about 15 minutes later. 
 
 False. 
 
 In fact, on his Twitter account, Weiner appeared to dissemble and bumble about for over an hour before firing off the tweet about his Facebook account being hacked. Here’s a recreation of the timeline, starting with the Tweet Weiner claims was sent by an alleged hacker and ending with the “FB Hacked” tweet:

 The New York Post also completely ignores Weiner’s earlier twitter reference to the City of Seattle in a Tweet that remains on his feed. For whatever reason, the Congressman added the hashtag #Thats545InSeattleIThink to a Tweet announcing the time of an upcoming appearance on MSNBC. Reportedly, the young woman the lewd photograph was sent to lives in … Seattle. 
 
 Also missing from the NY Post’s story is an explanation for how a hacking of Weiner’s Facebook account could lead to a Yfrog image being posted in his public Twitter feed. But by far, the most glaring hole is the question everyone, including Politico, is asking: Has Rep. Weiner reported this alleged hacking to the authorities? 
 
 Bottom line: the New York Post has only served to raise more questions about this rapidly developing story.
– A lewd picture sent to a Seattle university student from Anthony Weiner's Twitter account has the New York congressman claiming his account was hacked. "Tivo shot. FB hacked. Is my blender gonna attack me next?" Weiner joked on Twitter, soon after the compromising photo was published. The photo is a close-up of a man's gray boxer-briefs, sporting a prominent erection. No face is visible and Weiner's office denies the pic is of the congressman. “The weiner gags never get old, I guess," the congressman tells Politico. But some news outlets—particularly Andrew Brietbart's Big Government site—say no way, and that Weiner is lying. Critics point out that Weiner had earlier tweeted about an appearance on Rachel Maddow's program, including a hashtag about what time that would appear in Seattle. The woman in question has deleted all her social media accounts. "If nothing else, it does look to have been a very unusual night on Twitter for Representative Weiner," said Dan Riehl, a writer at Big Government.
