NY attorney general called #MeToo movement 'extraordinary' days before resignation
ABC News ^ | 5/10/18 | Meghan Keneally

Former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman didn't want to answer questions about the #MeToo movement in the days before abuse allegations against him were made public, according to an interview he gave to Alec Baldwin published Tuesday.

**SNIP**

Just four days before the allegations were made public, Schneiderman sat down for an interview with Alec Baldwin for his WNYC Studios podcast "Here's The Thing." It appears to be the final long-form interview Schneiderman gave while in office.

The full interview was published online late Tuesday night, and in the introduction, Baldwin states that there were "signs maybe something was amiss."

"His communications director requested -- surprisingly to us -- that we not mention the Harvey Weinstein case or #MeToo or the attorney general’s past relationships," Baldwin said in the introduction to the interview.

Later Wednesday, after this story's initial publication, the introduction to the podcast was changed and Baldwin's statements about the communications director were removed. A source in the Attorney General's office told ABC News that they disputed the characterization and that prompted its removal.

Edit on the fly. And whatever happened to the victims that were told to shaddap for the good of the RATS?

If the women hadn’t stepped forward, Schneiderman would still be lionized as a #MeToo hero.

Which makes his stunning fall all the more remarkable.

“Which makes his stunning fall all the more remarkable.”

And which makes the phony #metoo movement all the more ridiculous.

As the story unfolds about creepo Schneiderman, we learn:

<><> businessman Trump (then a Democrat) was the go-to guy for Dems wanting campaign contributions:

<><>the money-hungry beggars squeal bigtime on their opponents, other pols, (their own sex lives), to get bigger donations.

<><> S/derman hit Donald up and got $12,500, a nice piece of change; musta been pretty good squealing.

ITEM-—Trump has tweeted S/derman squealed damaging stuff about Obama, Cuomo, maybe Chuckie, maybe other Dems.

BOOM This explains why creepozoid S/derman filed 100 lawsuits against Donald. The craven creepo used Third World tactics to intimidate Donald. The lowlife S/derman like some tinpot dictator, employed the machinery of govt to prevent Donald from exposing S/derman’s stupidity in spilling damaging info about high-ranking Dems.

Then-U.S. President Barack Obama is greeted by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman
as he leaves Air Force One after landing at the Albany Intl Airport in Colonie, NY on Jan 21, 2011.
(Lori Van Buren / Albany Times Union)

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama named New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to lead a mortgage abuse unit that would investigate and redress the perceived wrongs committed by Wall Street in connection with the mortgage crisis. Schneiderman fired his first shot, filing a suit alleging that several major banks and a mortgage registration service engaged in fraudulent foreclosures.

Eric Schneiderman suspended the NY investigation of the Nxivm sex cult... LINK TO TIMES UNION ARTICLE

https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/993687358225768448

A panicky Cuomo forced out Schneiderman an HOUR after the damaging sex deviancy article was published.
S/derman resigned 2 hours later.

OBVIOUSLY they all knew about him. The real question is what else will come out...maybe involvement with little girls and little boys....

Why isn’t a man who is accused of choking and slapping multiple women in jail awaiting arraignment? What would happen to anyone on this forum who was accused of similar accusations?
