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.”

Hopefully this is the start of the domino’s to fall.

I still have that terrible feeling in my gut, but more of this good news should help.

Straight out the “accuse them of what your are doing” Alinsky playbook.

Turd’s on the on-stop special express to the high toxic, special purpose super-caustic shit disposal tank. Pray that the tank survives.

He’s going to contest the charges.

However, the left, which he so strongly defends, has already convicted him.

Of whatever it is that’s he’s guilty of.

Blowback... another anti-Trump “champion of women’s rights” falls victim to the “friendly fire” of #MeToo.

Mazin how things are getting “Stormy” for Democrats. #RustyIrony
