https://patribotics.blog/2018/05/11/exclusive-stones-backchannel-hosted-schneiderman-accuser-stone-in-2016/amp/?__twitter_impression=true"Explosive revelations that women who accused former New York state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of physically abusing them during long-term dating relationships, decided to take their stories to Michael Cohen and Donald Trump instead of to the police, have been further complicated by the discovery that both the accusers, and the authors and publication that carried the anti-Schneiderman story, may also have been linked to Roger Stone just as Al Frankens accuser Leanne Tweeden was."

I have no idea what that means.
Now you're all caught up.

(62,444 posts)Gleason was in the business of high-end prostitution defense.
They didn't go to law enforcement because they were referred to him out of that business.
Trump ran a "modeling agency" which trafficked women.
That's what it all means.

"We All Knew About the Trafficking"-The Untold Story of Trump Model Management (Part 1)"
Gleason was defending high-end prostitution at the time.
That's why these women showed up on his doorstep (referred by the madam when Schneiderman beat them up), and why Trump got looped in.

Even a lot of Dems arent aware of Trumps escort services. He also owns escort services and massage parlors in China and parts of the far east. He negotiated China approving the trade marks for his escort services while he was President.

(115,658 posts)She of the federal marshals serving Trump with notice of a sealed indictment as he was about to board AF1? If she's talking about the author of the "anti-Schneiderman story" in the New Yorker being associated with Roger Stone, I call bullshit.

(11,238 posts)Mensch considers that as automatically meaning Gonnerman (a writer at the New Yorker but not one of the authors of the Schneiderman exposé) has ties to Trump. Mensch also refers to the New Yorker piece as an "unverified story." LOL! The New Yorker is absolutely fanatical about fact checking. It's the most trustworthy pub there is, in my view, and Jane Mayer is a long-respected investigative journalist. Louise Mensch is being more recklessly ignorant than usual.

(23,083 posts)Franken reigned despite being railroaded because he knew as a comic over the years he'd said some things that could be viewed badly and didn't want to stay and fight when Gillibrand and others railroaded him for their own political gain. Schneiderman could have been borderine and could have had other threats made that we don't know about.
However, I am really pissed at Dems for not fighting back, especially Franken when so many witnesses said Tweeden was totally lying. Don't know that level of detail about Schneiderman to make a determination, but if he didn't do anything more egregious that mutually agreed to role play, I'm pissed at him too for having no spine.

(9,527 posts)Apparently that was a lie or something.
8 different women came forward, including some who told others at the time. Sorry but Franken was guilty.
lark
(23,083 posts)Facts don't support that. Tweeden was a total lie and 3 witnesses have stated that in writing. One of the complaints was that Franken put his arm around someone's waist when a pix was requested by her! So 2 of the 8 are totally bogus, never got the chance to go into the others because Franken quit too soon. Sorry you fell for the rw lies.

(9,685 posts)He resigned. Stories are familiar. But it is a conspiracy???? Sometimes shit is just shit. Al Frankens resignation was bollocks. But 4 women telling the same story - might be bollocks but the law of probability says..... until the facts are established victim shaming is shameful
