Wonder what the deal was? Roll over on a few associates? Seems he is only looking at 20 months jail so a deal is definitely in the works.
If you look at a similar case, the charges should have been very serious: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex- ... te-n761891

Anthony Weiner pleaded guilty to sending sexually explicit messages to a 15-year-old girl, capping a staggering downfall for the former Congressman and New York mayoral candidate and resolving a case that played a major role in the final days of the 2016 presidential election.
Weiner admitted to a single criminal count of transmitting obscene material to a minor in a hearing Friday in Manhattan federal court. An FBI investigation into Weiner’s sexually explicit messages turned up emails that had been sent to his wife, Huma Abedin, then a top aide to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Weiner told U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska he has a "sickness" that caused him to compulsively engage in sex chats with women on social media.
"These destructive impulses brought great devastation to family and friends, and destroyed my life’s dream of public service," said a tearful Weiner, his voice frequently breaking from emotion. "And yet, I remained in denial even as the world around me fell apart."
Weiner faces as much as 10 years in prison when he’s sentenced Sept. 8. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors will seek a term of 21 months to 27 months, which isn’t binding on the sentencing judge. Weiner must register as a sex offender and will forfeit his iPhone.
