The Mike Stack Connection: Twitter User Who Broke Anthony Weiner Story Remains a Mystery

Check out www.adultcybermart.com beginning Friday night for the complete run down on the Cal/OSHA meeting this week.

from www.abcnews.go.com – Rep. Anthony Weiner’s errant public tweet of a lewd photo of himself two weeks ago may have easily gone unnoticed if it hadn’t been for a single Twitter user who spotted and documented the gaffe, and shared it with the world.

Now, a week after the photo helped lead to Weiner’s dramatic mea culpa, the man whom some conservatives have hailed as a harbinger and a hero remains silent.

Records show Dan Wolfe, using the Twitter alias PatriotUSA76, was the ringleader of an informal posse of conservative Twitter users known as the #bornfreecrew who, annoyed by Weiner’s politics and bombastic style, scrutinized his online behavior.

“We didn’t like the fact that he [Weiner] was so arrogant and that he’d come down to the floor of Congress and waste our time with his huge sandwich boards and just ripped the Republicans apart,” said Mike Stack, a 39-year-old member of the #bornfreecrew who lives in New Jersey.

“As the months went by, I noticed Wolfe was very, very fixated on Weiner’s followers, and a few times he said to me, ‘Oh, he added this one and added this one,'” he said. “And we all noticed some of the girls were getting younger and younger, like high school age.”

For months, Twitter records show, members of the group messaged some of the girls and Weiner, at times harassing them publicly for their electronic ties as they tried to ferret out any inappropriate behavior, Stack said..

“I busted his balls. I never said anything threatening, I would never do that,” Stack said. “But with the women, I mean, you can follow whoever you want. It’s a free world, free country. But why are you so enamored with this guy if you’re in Seattle or Texas? It didn’t make a lot of sense.”

On the evening of May 27, Wolfe happened to be monitoring Weiner’s Twitter profile page just as the photo of bulging gray boxer briefs appeared. He excitedly messaged his group about the post and forwarded a screen grab to conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart of Biggovernment.com before Weiner quickly took it down.

“I was shocked,” Wolfe told the website in a message shortly after the story broke. “I capped [screen captured] it. Capped the tweet, everything. That’s all. Then I RT [retweeted].”

But as Weiner then began to insist he was a victim of a “hack” and “prank,” his online supporters made Wolfe their top suspect, casting him as a political operative who acted nefariously to bring the congressman down.

Amid the intense scrutiny, Wolfe deleted his Twitter profile and Yahoo email account last week, and has stayed mostly silent and out of the spotlight since.

“I have A LOT of personal problems,” Wolfe wrote to a friend on May 30 in an email chain obtained by ABC News. “If all this comes out along with everything I’m dealing with here — I don’t know what to do,” he said, referring to the accusations against him.

But now, even as Weiner’s admission of guilt has “vindicated” Wolfe and the #bornfreecrew of any alleged hack, they have still been subjected to threats.

“I got death threats. I got people use Google skyview to print pictures of my house, my address,” Stack said. “These people say I set up Rep. Weiner, I framed him. Mediaite says I was harassing these girls.”

As for Wolfe, Stack said he’s gone into hiding. “I haven’t heard from him since Weiner confessed,” he said. “And now some of us are speculating who this guy really is. No one has ever met him in person or spoken on the phone.”

from www.washingtonpost.com – Two members of a group of conservative Twitter users requested help from House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa’s (R-Calif.) office as they sought to expose Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-N.Y.) inappropriate online communications with several women, according to emails released by the Web site The Smoking Gun.

Mike Stack and an unidentified user who has tweeted under the pseudonym “Dan Wolfe” in late May discussed emailing Seamus Kraft, the director of digital strategy and press secretary for the Oversight Committee, about the patterns they had noticed in Weiner’s online activity, according to The Smoking Gun.

Stack and Wolfe are part of a group of Twitter users calling themselves the #bornfreecrew that had been tracking Weiner’s Twitter account for months.

According to the emails, Stack and Wolfe consulted each other on whether to contact Issa’s office after discovering a Web posting that the two said demonstrated Weiner had been communicating with a high school student.

Frederick Hill, a spokesman for Issa, said Wednesday that Issa’s office had received an emailed inquiry from the two but did not respond to their request. Hill added that Issa himself had not been aware that Stack and Wolfe had contacted his office until Monday, the day that The Smoking Gun posted the emails.

“We received an email,” Hill said. “We did not respond or offer advice or counsel.”

Issa has developed a national profile as a leading critic of the Obama administration.

Meanwhile, Weiner has been facing increasing pressure from members of his own party to give up his seat. On Wednesday, Rep. Allyson Schwartz, a Pennsylvania Democrat who also heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s recruitment and member services operation, said in a statement that “in light of Anthony Weiner’s offensive behavior online, he should resign.”

Other Democrats including Sen. Mark Pryor (Ark.) and Rep. Mike Michaud (Maine) have made similar comments, though top Democratic leaders have stopped short of calling for Weiner’s resignation.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday wrote a letter to the House Ethics Committee requesting an investigation into Weiner’s conduct. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-Md.) office has not commented on the scandal since Monday.

“Mr. Hoyer has urged Mr. Weiner from the beginning that he needed to be truthful and put the facts on the table,” Hoyer spokeswoman Katie Grant said Monday, adding that Hoyer “has long stated that if there have been any questions regarding ethics that have been raised in the public sphere that the Ethics Committee should look at them.”
