The New York attorney general’s dark-side personal life was an open secret in Democratic Party circles.
New York State attorney general Eric Schneiderman has resigned, just hours after it was reported that he had been accused of violent assaults on women he had dated.

A passerby witnessed the crash and wrote down Schneiderman’s license plate. Schneiderman later told the owner of the parked car that he “disciplined the staffer,” and offered to pay for the damage, though his office insisted that it was “outrageous” to call the incident a hit-and-run.

Hard to say it much better than you did. Calling them scum is a big move up for them.
