In the case of Trump University, the situation is even more disturbing. While Schneiderman’s investigation into Trump University first arose out of a larger inquiry into for-profit schools that accepted federal funding, his office quickly learned that neither Trump University nor its students had ever received any form of federal funding, subsidies or other government aid and offered all of its students a 3 day money back guarantee if they were not completely satisfied. Despite learning these facts, for the last two years, Schneiderman’s office has spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars conducting a no holds barred, scorched earth investigation, assigning as many as ten of his staff members to interview former Trump University employees and review literally hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. Making matters worse, Schneiderman chose to devote such valuable taxpayer dollars to looking into Trump University even though there was already a class action lawsuit pending in California brought by the firm of disgraced former lawyers and convicted felons Bill Lerach and Mel Weiss.
And what did Schneiderman’s office find after wasting so much of the taxpayers’ hard earned money? Exactly what Trump University told the Attorney General on day one – that as much as 98% of those students who participated in Trump University programs were not only satisfied with their Trump University experience, but would recommend the program to a friend.

Rubio might want to review his American Express records from when he was a Florida Senator.
Deems his use of that card, which expenses were paid for by the Florida Republican Party have lots of charges for attending seminars & meetings where a certain female lobbyist was also present.
Those records are available to the public on Florida websites.
Just who is this woman & how does she fit into Ruybio’s life-—then or now?????
Petraeus got caught with a honey pot.
Is this Rubio’s honey pot???
I find it interesting that anecdotes from a poster carry less weight with you than allegations from a highly partisan state AG who also never attended the seminars. I sense confirmation bias at work.
Thanks for posting this. God bless.
You are aware, are you not, that the New York Attorney General began their investigation into Trump "University" in 2011 and filed their suit in 2013? So if this is politically motivated then is Schneiderman psychic or something?
I’m not anywhere near NYS but every time I see some story about Schneiderman it’s some liberal crusade.
He’s another noxious twit from Harvard Law.
Hmmmm. I did not state that this suit was due to his candidacy. I merely asserted that Schneiderman is highly partisan, which by all accounts is true.
I also noted your disregard of personal anecdote in favor of third party anecdote, where the source is a known partisan.
Hopefully, the adjudication of this case will be based on ascertained truth, from which non-parties like us can make inferences and draw conclusions. To do so on the basis of an AG’s assertions alone, especially when the AG is a known partisan, is reckless.
He had the audacity to move in on their turf, by opening up his own university.
that turf is reserved for the money laundering democrat politician/student loan/university admin ring.
Can't have a non believer do such a thing, it would set an unacceptable precedent.
Even a blind pig can find a truffle every now and again.
I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for those who got suckered by the Trump U. come-on. Greed lured them in and now greed is the reason for the law suits. If people don't realize by now that when things sound too good to believe then they generally aren't then what happens to them is their own fault. It's what keeps all those Nigerian princes in funds.
Then why didn't he register it as an educational institution with the state?
Can't have a non believer do such a thing, it would set an unacceptable precedent.
There's plenty of precedent. I'm sure that a degree from Trump U. has the same value as a degree in Black Studies or Woman's Studies from any New York state university.
There is a lot of stuff that you are sure of that is simply not so.
When talking about Trump there is an enormous amount of that. On both sides.
However, there is a glimmer of sanity in there somewhere, and sometimes, either by design or carelessness, you let it show through the detritus.
That last statement is one of those times.
:-)
Yeah there is not much demand for ant farmers.
I will. Be sipping on me some single malt and pulling for my candidate, Senator Cruz
There you go stretching the truth. I believe what I typed or claimed was I was posted to by a Trump supporter that the reason Trump spoke down or in small structured sentences was to appeal to below 100 IQ voters. So it just connects that Trump has very low IQ supporters. I never said that ALL Trump supporters have an IQ less than 100.
See, that is how lies get started by someone that takes a structured sentence then modifies it. All sides do it.
Any ideas where to find this news otherwise? It’s a great thing it got posted. Did you read it?
I checked the site. Schneiderman is obviously a corrupt bag of crap and the lawsuit is merely a tool to try to destroy Trump.
98% of the students gave a thumb’s up to the program.
You believe a lot of things quite easily, don’t you?
You haven’t changed.
Hope the malt is tasty!
Not a bit.
