Trump on Eric Schneiderman in 2013 tweet: ‘Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner’

Did President Trump know something?

Almost five years ago, Mr. Trump tweeted that Eric Schneiderman, then the new New York attorney general, was “worse than” two well-known Democratic sex criminals.

On Monday night, Mr. Schneiderman was the object of the latest #MeToo bombshell. The New Yorker reported in a lengthy feature about four women — two named, two unnamed — accusing Mr. Schneiderman of slapping and choking them in intimate situations without consent and with threatening them with surveillance and death if they talked.

Within hours of the article’s publication, Mr. Schneiderman resigned.

Mr. Trump compared Mr. Schneiderman in a 2013 tweet to Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer, both New York Democrats with national political ambitions brought down by sex charges — respectively, sexting with a minor and purchase of prostitutes.

“Weiner is gone, Spitzer is gone - next will be lightweight A.G. Eric Schneiderman. Is he a crook? Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner,” Mr. Trump tweeted.

Listening to local radio here in Albany NY a reporter said there were rumors about Schneiderman for years. It’s probably why Cuomo getting out in front of it and calling for his resignation within hours.

Local conservative talk radio...

Known as the Sheriff who built the first Golf Course in Arizona.

"Golf settled those ornery cowboys down after round up time", he said.

I don’t think that people realize Trump has been running for President for more than 30 years. He has developed relationships over those years that seem to be paying off dividends. He also travels all over the world for his business empire.

I guess no one thought that a property developer who travels around the world doesn’t talk to people about local, regional, international politics and how that affects the properties he will be building on.

And in NY, Trump deals with thousands of people, from the union steel worker to the heads of the financial world. Things come out, rumors are told, information bought and sold. If anyone should have known about this it should have been the NY Times.

He may show up in one of those 28k sealed indictments.

One can hope, anyway.

I believe they absolutely did know about this and didn't care until the public found out.

I have come to realize that many if not most media organizations are the tools of wealthy influence, and are deliberately intended to manipulate government policy to their benefit.

All these people attacking think Trump is like them. Shallow, vacuous, empty headed. He has learned at all levels to pay attention to his surroundings, observe, then act. It is so funny and satisfying to see the losers lose each and every time against him.

From Ronan Farrow’s commencement speech a Loyola over the weekend:

I’ve talked a little about challenges I faced reporting my stories on sexual violence. How the systems commanded by those powerful men I mentioned earlier came crashing down on me too. And how people I trusted turned on me. And powerful forces in the media world became instruments of suppression.

“Trump sure seems to be right a lot. People think he shoots from the hip, but in reality he takes dead aim.”
