Trump had inside information when he posted a cryptic tweet about Schneiderman in 2013.

A court filing indicates President Trump had blackmail material on former New York Attorney General Eric Scheiderman while Schneidermans office conducted a years-long investigation into allegations that Trump University was defrauding students.
Scheidermans investigation into Trumps now-defunct university which was not an accredited school, but instead offered expensive real estate workshops and seminars began in 2013 and ended just last month.
A New York attorney named Peter Gleason claims that two women contacted him some years ago to report that Schneiderman had been sexually inappropriate with them, followed by a third woman in 2013.
Gleason writes that he advised the third woman against reporting the incident to the Manhattan District Attorney Office based on my past experience in reporting prima facie political corruption that was ignored by the office, some of which were ultimately prosecuted elsewhere.

I just gotta ask, if you have information that accuses someone of crime, are you not suppose to go to law enforcement and say something, and is "blackmail" against the law....................

(60,010 posts)Trump said he had info.
He still lost the case.
Apparently the info was never made public.
Am I missing something?

(17,862 posts)He lost a civil suit. That when you also consider he illegally contributed to the Florida AG using his charity should be enough to disqualify anyone but him from any elective office.

(9,999 posts)Does any one here know where the funds came from to pay that huge fine? I mean I doubt that Trump paid that out of his own pocket so just wondering if this was paid by some "slush fund". Just curious if this has been looked into.

Not even a penny.
