New York AG Eric Schneiderman resigns over assault allegations - Polidicks

[quote] New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has resigned, following a report on allegations of assault by multiple women in The New Yorker. "It's been my great honor and privilege to serve as Attorney General for the people of the State of New York. In the last several hours, serious allegations, which I strongly contest, have been made against me," Schneiderman said in a statement. "While these allegations are unrelated to my professional conduct or the operations of the office, they will effectively prevent me from leading the office's work at this critical time. I therefore resign my office, effective at the close of business on May 8, 2018."[/quote] Bonus statement: [quote] Statement from Eric T. Schneiderman: "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in non-consensual sex, which is a line I would not cross."[/quote]

For fuck's sake Schneiderman

following a report on allegations of assault by multiple women in The New Yorker. fuckin liberals now we're not even allowed to be players? seriously?

>Schneiderman had cast himself as a fierce opponent and critic of President Donald Trump. Schneiderman has also been a vocal proponent of the #MeToo movement, bringing legal action in New York against film producer Harvey Weinstein, who has been accused of sexually assaulting women.

I'm gonna say this is what took him down. Expect a Trump crony to replace him, oh well.

What happens to the impending cases against the FCC and Trump associates?

New York AG is an elected position, and an election is already due in November so his replacement will be chosen then. In the meantime, his work will be taken up by the Solicitor General, who is a Democrat, until a replacement is chosen by the Democrat-majority State Legislature to serve out the rest of the term. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2018/05/08/ag-eric-schneiderman-replacement/589188002/

No man, you're supposed to grab them by the pussy, not the throat. Then you can't get in trouble for it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2018/05/08/gotcha-tweets-kellyanne-conway-as-trump-supporters-revel-in-schneiderman-resignation/?utm_term=.89b10784928e imagine being so fucking ignorant that your party has tried to elect a serial child molester, has had multiple resignations over cheating/abusing spouses, and have your president say he grabs women by the pussy, that you sit back and act smug.

I can imagine it, but only when every room where a cheer rang out stank of severe desperation, loneliness, and tears and swaddled in the glowing, but dim, light of Fox News.

In New York? nahhh

it's a given she's not ignorant of any of it, but if you can nab the most literal 'gotcha politics' snipe it's a win for the turds who treat this shit like watching a football game

Are you ok?

Heard on NPR that this is unlikely to effect the cases already filed, so that's a relief.
