‘@natsecwonk’: Under an anonymous Twitter account Jofi  Joseph bashed his bosses and other Washington elites

The man that was fired from his White House  job for making anonymous attacks on administration officials on Twitter may now  be investigated for possibly hiring prostitutes.

Jofi Joseph was fired on Tuesday after he was  unmasked as the man behind the @NatSecWonk account that had captivated so much  of D.C. by taking shots at politicians and hinting of his exclusive knowledge.

Now investigators Joseph, who is married, may  be connected to another anonymous account that frequently made mentions of  hiring prostitutes.

While Joseph has come forward and put out a  statement apologizing for the ‘inappropriate and mean-spirited comments’ that he  made via @NatSecWonk, he made no mention of any connection to the second  account, called @DCHobbyist.

That account has now been shut following the  swarm of attention, but Foreign Policy reports that it directed a  number of tweets at self-identified escorts.

At one point, @DCHobbyist wrote about  Toronto’s ‘tsunami of gorgeous and sensual escorts’.

Just three days later, it directed a message  to a woman who identified herself as a ‘luxury companion and escort’ and wrote  ‘I hopey ou know that I reminisce fondly about our date. Do let me know if you  ever find your way back to DC.’

 

A second account? Some believe Joseph may be behind this  second parody account, and if so, it will be problematic for him as it  frequently discusses soliciting prostitutes

If the two accounts are connected, Joseph may  face legal problems regarding his alleged use of prostitutes.

Not only is solicitation a crime, but there  are political concerns as well since Joseph’s wife is a well-respected advisor  on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Aside from the moral repercussions of  cheating, there is inevitably concern about the prospect of being blackmailed  for information or access, based either on his now-former role as a  non-proliferation director on the National Security Council or his wife Carolyn  Leddy’s role in the Senate.

After first refusing to comment to Politico’s  Glenn Thrush about the scandal when it first broke on Wednesday, saying that it  would ‘affect his ability to get a new job,’ he followed up with a formal  statement.

 

‘Beer goggles’: Joseph tweeted that Huma Abedin must  have been wearing beer goggles when she married Anthony Wiener

 

International: He also made light of Samantha Powers’  marriage to Cass Sunstein before she was appointed as the current American  ambassador to the United Nations

‘It has been a privilege to serve in this  Administration and I deeply regret violating the trust and confidence placed in  me,’ he said in the statement.

He went on to explain that it ‘started out as  an intended parody account of DC culture’.

Those comments included insults hurled at  Republicans and Democrats alike.

Attacking both sides: NatSecWonk called President  Obama’s close advisor Valerie Jarrett a ‘vacuous cipher’ (left) and Republican  Sarah Palin ‘white trash (right)

‘So when will someone do us the favor of  getting rid of Sarah Palin and the rest of her white trash family? What utter  useless garbage,’ he tweeted last October about the former Republican Vice  Presidential nominee.

Before Anthony Weiner’s first trouble with  Twitter that ended his Congressional career, and before Samantha Powers was  appointed as the American ambassador to the United Nations, he took aim at their  love choices.

‘Was Huma Abedin wearing beer goggles the  night she met Anthony Wiener? Almost as bad a pairing as Samantha Powers and  Cass Sunstein,’ @NatSecWonk tweeted in 2011.

There were serious comments about political  connections as well- rather than petty personal jabs.

‘I’m a fan of Obama, but his continuing  reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like Valerie Jarrett concerns me,’  he said of the President’s longtime friend and advisor.

‘More people should be asking why John Kerry  installed two former aides, both with ZERO foreign policy experience, into top  posts at State,’ he also wrote.
