Eric Schneiderman has stepped down as Attorney General for New York because of accusations leveled at him by four women that he physically assaulted them.
I met him barely one week ago at a AFL-CIO dinner where we both attended, and he spoke at as a surprise visitor. My dinner guest and the union president insisted on me meeting him, and walked me up to his table prior to his speaking.
Now out of the blue, he has resigned because of more of the "MeToo" movement. He denies the allegations, but Governor Cuomo asked him to resign in light of the gravity of them.
He was the lead sponsor of the strangulation law in New York, and some of the accusations are that he choked and slapped his victims. All of whom reportedly were in love with him at some time, until the relationships fell apart.
It's pretty shocking, given his high profile standing. And his being one of the front runners of leading state charges against the current POTUS and working in tandem with the Mueller investigation.
Things really move fast in New York. If this had been the MTC and a certain Joseph L. Bishop, presiding authorities would be saying "Nothing to see here."
