Schneiderman's ex-wife Jennifer Cunningham issued a statement on Monday, calling the allegations inconsistent. Cunningham is a former lobbyist and worked as Schneiderman's media and advertising director in his campaign bids for attorney general in 2010 and 2014.

“I’ve known Eric for nearly 35 years as a husband, father and friend. These allegations are completely inconsistent with the man I know, who has always been someone of the highest character, outstanding values and a loving father. I find it impossible to believe these allegations are true," she said.

1. Still sounds like ratfucking.

[Ilsa]

2. The timing certainly does,

but I've changed my mind on this. I didn't believe it at first.

[dhol82]

5. Agreed it sounds bad.

Just really suspicious of the timing.
Also the Roger Stone ratfucking Of Spitzer.

6. Only a moron wouldn't be suspicious of the timing.

In this day and age? I almost need to see it happen.

3. To be Frankened

8. Agreed.

9. Franken was driven out of officer for non-abusive behavior that occurred long

before he was in public office.

Schneiderman engaged in this behavior not only WHILE he was in office, but while he was working on highly sensitive, high profile, critically important work. He should have known he'd be targeted and needed to be Cesar's wife. Instead, he not only treated women like shot, he left himself wide open to exposure and blackmail.

4. Men who abuse women don't abuse every woman.

7. The Franken mess draws comparison. A fast resignation with no hearing.

10. The problem is he's running for re-election in November. There simply isn't the time

to resolve this, unfortunately. Even if he's innocent, there would be a lengthy process before he's vindicated.

11. He may not have engaged in that behavior with her.

He may have done it with others.

She also may be protecting him out of family loyalty and for their child(ren).

This is just awful.

[JI7]

12. He admits to doing the shit he is accused of

But he claims it was consensual and the women say it wasn't.

[Cha]

13. He resigned.
