Eric Schneiderman's Legalized Shakedowns
American Thinker ^ | 9 May, 2018 | Gavin Wax

Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese. These are the notorious names of New York's very own Mafia syndicates, etched into the mind of every true crime enthusiast.

As the years went by, and one Giuliani RICO charge after another fell upon the John Gottis of the world, the Five Families and their influence have waned even while their legacy lives on in late-night Soprano reruns. Strangely enough, until very recently, few New Yorkers, save for Donald Trump in a forewarning tweet, could tell you the name of the far more powerful criminal family that terrorized our streets and wallets.

What was the name of this sixth crime family, you may be wondering? Well, it was the crafty Schneiderman Outfit operating out of Pine Street.

What was the Schneiderman Outfit? It was a $5-billion operation, whose extortion and racketeering sent many honest New Yorkers and their businesses into hiding down in Florida or North Carolina. Unlike the Gambino victims of old, the victims of the Schneiderman gang cannot be saved through a federal victim protection program based in Utah. They will be followed no matter where they flee (though you may want to consider a lovely central Asian goat farm in extradition-free Uzbekistan). In fact, the victims of this crime family have little to no legal recourse whatsoever. Their only option is to pay the kickback.

It’s known as “Lawfare” where corrupt (historically Democrat) politicians seek to destroy their enemies with phony “crimes”... rarely seeking to convict but to bankrupt, torment and most important SILENCE!

Recall this was done in Wisconsin to attack Scott Walker after he dared to challenge government unions, riots by mobs and many of his supporters ruthlessly attacked by corrupt Democrat “prosecutors” (persecutors)... even some pre-dawn SWAT raids to terrorize.

Walker survived but many who dared support him suffered! Such now is Herr Mueller’s “Special Persecutor” obvious “mandate” (Hmmm??? maybe there’s some women is his past?). Read the link below:

Here's a stunning post from the comments at American Thinker:
LeftistsKissMyAs* • 8 hours ago

NY is one of the largest tributaries of the D.C. Swamp, alligators and snakes abound (no offense to the real animals)! This article is stunning, though not surprising. AG Eric 'the red' Holder and Hussein shook down many companies from swamp headquarters for 8 years. This has got to stop! We did not know how far TDS would go but it seems to be spraying luminal where past/current leftist blood has been shed, covered up and now being exposed to the black lights. God truly has intervened with Trump's ascension......

“The Martin Act, and its continued abuse by the office of the attorney general (when its holder wasn’t busy choking and beating his girlfriends), has directly led to the loss of an innumerable number of New York jobs and has consequently added an overbearing aura of unpredictability and volatility to the New York state economy. It is something that has not only driven away New York’s own businesses, but also scared off many outside parties from investing in our state.”

“To put this in perspective, the attorney general’s office has collected an inordinate amount of funds, which, if it were a private corporation, would make it the size of Blackstone or Yahoo, and it would boast a number of attorneys equal to that of Sullivan & Cromwell.”

I won’t argue with the author’s sentiment because it is most likely very true, but his article reads more like a rant and not anything like a report, because he backs up his contentions with nearly zero facts to explain it.
