The New York Post, famous for its brilliance in racy front-page headlines, came out over the weekend with: “Stroking Gun, Weiner sext probe found dirt on the Hill.”

There is now only a week to go until the U.S. presidential election, and a disgraced former New York congressman who has a perverted penchant for sexting pics of his at-attention manhood to young women, the aptly named Anthony Weiner, suddenly has Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton staring at another pickle.

Hence the wicked word play.

There was great hoopla over the last few days regarding FBI Director James Comey’s Friday letter to Congress, and news that he was re-opening his bureau’s investigation into Clinton’s private email server after a separate probe into Weiner showed his computer and email account had been shared with his estranged wife, Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest friends and top advisor.

Some wanted Comey’s head on a stake for throwing what was considered an unsubstantiated wrench into the election at the 11th hour — he had notably not yet seen the emails in question — while others said he had no choice as America’s top domestic lawman.

Economies of scale, however, now point to Comey having no option but to go public with his decision to re-open a can of worms that was once thought to be closed because of insufficient evidence against Clinton to warrant criminal charges.

Incredibly, the FBI found some 650,000 emails on the computer Weiner shared with his wife, with metadata on the device reportedly indicating that thousands of emails were sent to and from the private server that Clinton used while Secretary of State.

The New York Post referred to this as a “DickiLeaks” motherlode, but because these emails were unrelated to the Weiner investigation, the FBI had to get a separate warrant to access them.

Some 650,000 emails, with thousands connected to Clinton’s personal account, were too monumental to not address publicly.

Echoing in the background, of course, is Republican candidate Donald Trump’s persistent accusation that Clinton beat criminal charges while Secretary of State by deleting 33,000 incriminating emails before handing her personal account over to the FBI.

During the presidential debates, Clinton admitted the deletion of emails on her personal account were a “mistake,” but that none involved classified information, and were largely emails surrounding the upcoming wedding of her daughter, Chelsea.

Now, however, there’s this “Stroking Gun,” namely the 650,000 emails on sexter Anthony Weiner’s shared computer that could expose the content of those deleted Clinton emails.

This had Trump salivating, of course, and suddenly praising FBI Director James Comey for finally seeing the light.

And why not? Trump was down in the polls, his cries of “crooked Hillary” were starting to wear thin, and Clinton’s campaign team were all but planning the furniture arrangement in the Oval Office.

Now, perhaps, it could end up down a still-uncertain road with Hillary Clinton choosing the sheets for a cell in New York’s Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for Women.

But first there will be an election.
