Eric Schneiderman, New York’s Attorney General, Resigns Amid Abuse Accusations

Eric T. Schneiderman, the New York attorney general who rose to prominence as an antagonist of the Trump administration, abruptly resigned on Monday night, hours after four women accused him of physically assaulting them in an article published by The New Yorker.

“It’s been my great honor and privilege to serve as attorney general for the people of the State of New York,” Mr. Schneiderman said in a statement. “In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me.

“While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office, they will effectively prevent me from leading the office’s work at this critical time. I therefore resign my office, effective at the close of business on May 8, 2018.”

Trump had him pegged. He lived in NY and has heard quite a bit. Talk about patience tho. Having to listen to such hypocrisy and trash talk and just let the chips roll. I’m sure he knows quite a bit more!

Off subject but I’ve just been seeing where Hillary and Oama have been and it isn’t just Kerry traveling/meeting with International leaders..............and interesting the media is blocked alot.

I’ve often said don’t pay so much attention to what they’re saying as where are they going and who are they seeing..these two and others are up to no good!
