Huma has demnstrated carelessness and nishandling of classifed material before. It is reasonable to question if she left classifed material lying unprotected around the house the same way she did in her car.

Weiner's reckless cheating and Huma's enabling made them both prime targets for blackmail

Will it make any difference to many on the Left?

No. As Heinlein wrote.

What are the marks of a sick culture? It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.

Life cam be complicated.  

As far as Weiner's "problem" is concerned, we might just as well ask why some people feel compelled to alter their physical appearance excessively via plastic surgery, tattooing or piercing, or rearrange their closets and cupboards over and again in a precise manner, or wash their hands incessantly, or spend hours on end watching adult-oriented entertainment, or seek out anonymous sexual encounters.

What's sad is that there are many people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who also realize themselves that their recurring thoughts or repetitive behaviors make no sense to third party observers, or are counter-productive or even self-destructive. Yet they do it anyway, because they lack impulse control and can't help themselves.

As to what exactly triggers the loss of impulse control, I'm not sure. However, researchers have established a possible causal link between the occurrence of OCD and clinical depression and our respective levels of serotonin, a monoamine neurotransmitter which our bodies produce naturally to regulate our moods, cravings and appetites. Perhaps the answer will be found through further research of that biochemical relationship.

But we're really only scratching the surface of our understanding of mental illnesses. People who suffer from them deserve our compassion and empathy rather than our scorn and ridicule, even if we don't like their behavior.

"Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him. I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It's just another example of Hillary Clinton's bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this."

Let's forget for the moment the inherent hypocrisy of the man who's commenting above on the state of the Abedin-Weiner marriage, given that he's also someone who left his previous two spouses in order to take up with women who were much younger than himself.

Since Anthony Weiner doesn't work for Hillary Clinton and is not part of her personal entourage or campaign inner circle, Trump's gratuitous expression of concern about Weiner's "close proximity to highly classified information" is both misplaced and nonsensical -- unless, of course, Trump himself has been sharing details of the national security briefings he's been receiving with his wife Melania.
