I like you. You and me, were going to be best friends. It is early January, and Eric Schneiderman is sitting in his 25th-floor office above Lower Manhattan, doing his best Donald Trump impression, puckering his lips into a duck face, scrunching up his nose and lowering his voice into something that resembles the presidents outer-borough growl. Schneiderman is recalling his meeting with Trump in 2010. Back then, Schneiderman was running for attorney general of New York, and Trump was still in his pre-birther, reality TV host phase. Trump had donated money to one of Schneidermans opponents in the Democratic primary. Schneiderman managed to pull off a come-from-behind victory, and after the race, he went to Trump Tower to ask for a donation for the general election. Trump coughed up $12,500 to the Democrat, and Schneiderman went on to beat his Republican opponent and win. But Trump and Schneiderman did not become best friends. That meeting was the beginning of a long and increasingly bitter saga between the two.

I wondered why the MSM porn jocks were having a Stormy Sunday mass... They all had to know this story was about to hit the fan.

Draining the swamp. It may be a drop at a time but at least it’s getting done and if luck holds out Trumps got a little less than 7 years left.

This is a riot to read given Schneiderman’s face planted himself...

...”The next morning, as the offices lawyers stumbled into work in a fog of exhaustion and worry, Schneiderman called a meeting. In the room were his senior staff and some of the bureau chiefs. There were tears. There were lawyers who couldn'tt believe that Donald TrumpDonald Trump!was about to become the next president of the United States. Schneiderman urged calm. Dont just rush out and do. Take a deep breath, he told them. Let the moment wash over you. We cant do everything at once, so prioritize...”...
“The Swamp,” is nowhere near a strong enough word to describe the criminal alliances who have come against our duly elected President and the people who elected him. Treason, also, is not a strong enough word to describe what they have been trying to do through our very own legal system. Hope all of them get exposed and taken down.
