New York’s attorney general oversaw and facilitated secret surveillance on pro-life counselors outside an abortion clinic as well as the creation of a fake identity in an attempt to win an ongoing case, according to a witness’s testimony.
Testimony in People v. Griepp et al — New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman against pro-life advocates counseling women outside of Choices Women’s Medical Center in Jamaica-Queens, N.Y. — illustrated Schneiderman used a witness to spy on pro-lifers via creating a fake Facebook account to access their information.
The witness testified she had used someone else’s photo, listed her occupation as a bank teller, created a fake residency — even posting about the weather there to gain credibility — and went under the guise of “Shelly Walker.” The witness also allegedly accessed hundreds of pro-life activists’ personal information around the country — she gave the data to Schneiderman’s office, according to The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC).
“I’m appalled at the Attorney General’s lack of respect for the First Amendment and his offices’ encouragement and use of fraudulent means to obtain information so that he can persecute peaceful pro-life citizens who have become the voice of the voiceless,” TMLC president Richard Thompson said. “He [Schneiderman] has forsaken his responsibilities as an independent law-enforcement officer and is now acting as an agent of the abortion industry,” Thompson added.
Our government officials are criminals.
This is the guy who is Mueller’s fallback position, filing state charges against Paul Manifort should Trump pardon him.
Corruption gravitates to corruption.
I didn’t see any mention of a warrant in the story so it seems criminal if true.

Isn’t this what the Russians were indicted for?
He will fall back on the Constitution when he is on trial.

I guess that law doesn't apply to liberal attorney generals on a mission?
That's just like our Acting AG, DAG Rod Rosenstein, who also facilitated secret surveillance, and who has been put in charge by AG Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.
Schneiderman has been going after Trump for years and is corrupt as hell. Hope he goes down.
Schneiderman is dirty, I hope he is on Trump’s hit list to indict
Why hasn’t Weasel Mueller made this guy a prime member of Weasel Mueller’s team?

How many FISA warrants did Obozo get against pro-life activists, I wonder?
LOCK ‘EM UP
Justice should be served. Second helpings are gladly offered.
Just keeps getting worse for him.
What on earth were they going to think they would learn from spying? What words we use in our prayers to stop abortions? These people are paranoid.
