Targeting Trump backfires as New York AG accused of corruption.

Is the Attorney General of New York a crook?

Who is Neal Kwatra?

Who is Melvin Lowe?

What exactly was that federal sentencing memorandum all about?

Why isn’t Jon Corzine being prosecuted?

And exactly what went on in a closed-door meeting between New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and President Obama — hours before Schneiderman filed a Saturday afternoon lawsuit against Obama’s famous critic –- Donald Trump?

The questions about New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman are piling up. And the irony is that the filing of a $40 million lawsuit against Trump that amusingly alleges the billionaire real estate mogul was trying to scrounge $35,000 a pop from innocents for his inspirational Trump University is so bizarre, wacky and legally weak it has wound up backfiring. Drawing attention to the activities and associates of Schneiderman himself.

Let’s take a look at what’s out there. And begin to understand just why there would be a felt need by Schneiderman to employ the old lawyer’s trick of holding up the shiny object (in this case a lawsuit against Donald Trump) to distract from the disturbing facts — in this case a lengthening trail of very disturbing facts — that lead to the real questions:

Is Eric Schneiderman a crook?

And isn’t it finally time to start investigating the activities of a rogue state attorney general?

Let’s go through the list.

Eric Schneiderman and the Sentencing Memorandum

In the wonderland of corrupt New York politicians you can’t make it up.

Shirley Huntley is now in jail. Who is Shirley Huntley? Ms. Huntley is formerly Senator Shirley Huntley. Like Eric Schneiderman, Huntley is a former member of the New York State Senate and a liberal Democrat. Ms. Huntley, a 74-year-old grandmother, is in the slammer (story here) for a year and a day beginning in May of this year as the result of a federal corruption investigation .

The story gets better.
