Maddow Offers a Primer on Weiner, After He Makes Another Mess

Not that long ago, former New York congressman Anthony Weiner was a rising star in the Democratic party. Then he embarrassed himself and his wife, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, with a sexting scandal in 2011. After he resigned, he ran for mayor of New York City -- until more sexting pictures came to light. Then, the bombshell: he may have been sending lewd pictures to a 15-year-old girl.

In the course of an FBI investigation into his latest scandal, the FBI found emails on his server from his now-estranged wife. In an unprecedented move, FBI director James Comey announced on Friday that some of those emails may now be relevant in the once-thought closed case on Clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. While Clinton was cleared of criminal wrongdoing in May -- though accused of treating classified missives "carelessly" -- the email issue has come roaring back, 11 days before the election.

There is no smoking gun against the Democratic nominee yet, and reports indicate the emails found weren't even from Clinton. But, of course, the Republicans are using the news like a grenade, seeing it as a way to lift Donald Trump's presidential hopes back from the dead and, possibly, make sure the Senate stays under Republican control.

On her Friday show, out MSNBC journalist Rachel Maddow devoted her show to the man who has suddenly upended the race -- Weiner. It seems that Clinton will, once again, face repercussions for a man's wandering eye. Watch Maddow's report below.
