Eric Schneiderman, New York’s Attorney General, Resigns Amid Abuse Accusations
nyt ^ | 5/7/2018 | Danny Hakim and Vivian Wang

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.”

What did the governor know and when did he know it?

It's like Weinstein. They all knew.

He assaulted 4 women in an article? Must have been some article! Eliot Spitzer mis-rules again.

Their big gun keeps back-firing due to lack of “gun” control.

Exactly. Expect a quick check-in to a rehab facility.

I just had to point out this lie, among so many lies:

“While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office”

Actually, he is accused of using his position as attorney general to threaten the women’s lives.

Looking at this creepy little dickster, you wonder how a decent woman would associate with the jerk.

He’s an arrogant little nothing who liked to humiliate and hurt women.

The pathology is easy to discern.....demeaning woman made the little creep feel like a big dickster.

Good Ridance. This is the same clown who said that if Trump pardoned LTG Flynn on Federal Charges, he would indict him on State charges.

I am fairly certain Trump knows everything.

Adm Rogers probably told him a lot more that just the Trump Tower bugged stuff.

He most certainly knows everything found on Weiner’s laptop. He is still tight with NYPD and so is Rudy.

This will get little play by the drive-by’s. The big concern in the news today is whether Kim will divorce Kanye.

Of course, if it were a Republican...24/7 wall-to-wall coverage.

Alinsky ‘accuse them of what you’re doing’ playbook


Thank you, thank you for posting that.
I never heard of that strategy but now I know where the leftists got their “projection” as psychologists call it. They say they have a rally against hate which consists of virulent anti-Trumper hate. They allege Trump colluded and actually they the Hillary & Obama ones colluded. On and on.
Now I get where that came from. Thanks again.
