Is Eric Schneiderman a Crook? Targeting Trump backfires as New York AG accused of corruption.
American Spectator ^ | 8.29.13 | Jeffrey Lord

Is the Attorney General of New York a crook?

Who is Neal Kwatra?

Who is Melvin Lowe?

What exactly was that federal sentencing memorandum all about?

Why isn’t Jon Corzine being prosecuted?

And exactly what went on in a closed-door meeting between New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and President Obama — hours before Schneiderman filed a Saturday afternoon lawsuit against Obama’s famous critic –- Donald Trump?

The questions about New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are piling up. And the irony is that the filing of a $40 million lawsuit against Trump that amusingly alleges the billionaire real estate mogul was trying to scrounge $35,000 a pop from innocents for his inspirational Trump University is so bizarre, wacky and legally weak it has wound up backfiring. Drawing attention to the activities and associates of Schneiderman himself.

Let’s take a look at what’s out there. And begin to understand just why there would be a felt need by Schneiderman to employ the old lawyer’s trick of holding up the shiny object (in this case a lawsuit against Donald Trump) to distract from the disturbing facts — in this case a lengthening trail of very disturbing facts — that lead to the real questions:

Is Eric Schneiderman a crook?

And isn’t it finally time to start investigating the activities of a rogue state attorney general?

Let’s go through the list...

The office used to be a refuge from which all sorts of shenanigans could be carried out with impunity could one but get elected.

Then Cameras and YouTube spoiled everything.

Kind of like the law enforcement gig in general.

Now it is harder to get the public to trust blindly.

The charges were never meant to truly go to court. They exist only to immunize others - Trump criticizes, the charges are then brought up as a ‘see, he is bad too’ reply. Which of course will be what the press focuses on, rather than the rightness or incorrectness of the criticism.

Move over Hillary Clinton, it looks like Donald Trump also knows how to run a war room. I bet he's got an army of opposition researchers working on this one.

Just because Sir Donald sports a VERY BAD RUG, doesn't mean he's a pushover.

DT to the kenyan: "Hey, Yo! kenyan, Wanna play f**k f**k with me? Then I'll play f**k f**k with you! And you aren't smart enough to win that one."

Now cooking a giant bowl of coconut oiled popcorn. Unfolding lounge chair. Popping cork onna homebrew. Looking forward to the entertainment! This isn't gonna turn out right for the kenyan.
