Officer Darren Wilson’s attorney says Darren Wilson is resigning and may leave law enforcement permanently...

Via NY Post:

The white Ferguson cop who killed an unarmed black teen is in talks to resign from his police department — and may give up policing altogether, his lawyer said Wednesday night.
“It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when,” Officer Darren Wilson’s attorney, Neil Bruntrager, told CNN. “He’s on paid leave, and there are discussions that are going on right now to separate from the department in an amicable fashion.”
The news came a day after Wilson said that he lived in fear as he kept under the radar while awaiting a decision from the grand jury that ultimately chose not to charge him.
“I’d use the word stressful, but that’s an understatement,” Wilson told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos during a 90-minute interview in St. Louis.
“You just take precautions — everything you do, everywhere you go. You know, from where you sit in a restaurant to where you drive.”

Stick Weiner With A Fork. He Is Done.

"Bulging Underpants" is resigning over his sexting scandal. I miss him already.

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — In the same room where he launched his first campaign for City Council two decades ago in the Gravesend neighborhood of Brooklyn, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) announced his resignation from Congress on Thursday.

“Today I’m announcing my resignation from Congress so my colleagues can get back to work, my neighbors can choose a new representative and more importantly that my wife and I can continue to heal from the damage I have caused,” he said.

Spiking the football: I predicted last Friday Weiner would resign by this Friday.

Nancy Pelosi Calls For Rep. Weiner To Fall On His Sword

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called on Rep. Anthony Weiner to resign a second time. Weiner is roasted.

Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi has reiterated her calls for shamed congressman Anthony Weiner to quit, saying he: ‘needed help’.

As Democrats led by Pelosi met for emergency talks today, Weiner is also expected to face a grilling from his long suffering wife Huma Abedin as she flies in from Africa today to confront her errant husband.

Party officials met behind closed doors for the first time since the New York congressman admitted to sexually charged on-line relationships, agreeing that Weiner should fall on his sword over the ongoing sexting debacle.

Sources close to the politician, who has consistently refused to resign, said he is waiting to speak with Mrs Abedin before making a final decision on whether to quit his congressional post.

With Weiner refusing to resign, frustration among Democrats is increasing as the scandal moves into its third week.

New York Daily News: Weiner is considering resigning

New photos put pressure on Re. Anthony Weiner to resign.

The New York Daily News reports::

As a cache of embarrassing new photos appeared Sunday, Rep. Anthony Weiner finally began considering the possibility that he may have to resign.

A source close to the congressman told the Daily News that Weiner had been adamant about keeping his seat – even as the Democratic leadership urged him to quit amid daily new revelations of reckless sexting.

But the unrelenting media coverage, the demands he step down from his party’s leadership, and the appearance of more humiliating photos made Weiner realize he may not be able to bull through the crisis after all, the source said.

TMZ published a new slew of squirm-inducing self-portraits, including several full-body shots taken in the House gym – some clothed, some not.

Top Democrats Pressuring Rep. Anthony "Bulging Underpants" Weiner to Resign

Nancy Pelosi may be ready for Rep. Weiner to go, but Rush Limbaugh is pushing for Weiner to stay.

(Washington Examiner) – House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats are “furious” with Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and are stepping up the pressure for him to quit by calling for an ethics investigation, aides said Tuesday.

Weiner has refused to resign after admitting that he sent “inappropriate” messages and photographs of himself to a half-dozen women via social networking sites.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., called on Weiner to resign. But Pelosi stopped short of such a demand, instead firing off a written request to the ethics committee to “determine whether the Rules of the House of Representatives have been violated” by Weiner.
