#ExxonKnew leader Eric Schneiderman resigns in disgrace amid physical abuse allegations

From the New York Times: New York’s attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, has resigned, hours after multiple women accused him of being physically abusive.

Eric T. Schneiderman, the New York State attorney general who rose to prominence as an antagonist of the Trump administration, abruptly resigned on Monday night hours after The New Yorker reported that four women had accused him of physically assaulting them.

WUWT readers may recall he’s the bozo (along with Bill McKibben and Al Gore) that dreamt up the “Exxon Knew” libel outfit, and got a bunch of other Attorney Generals to sign on to the scam.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and a coalition of attorneys general, supported by former Vice President Al Gore, vowed on March 29, 2016, to hold fossil fuel companies accountable if their words and deeds on climate change had crossed into illegality.

Al Gore had his masseuse incidents:

Pachauri left the IPCC over sexual harassment issues:

Eric Worrall notes in an email to me:

“Quite a string of high profile alleged sex abuse cases associated with leading climate figures. “Moral License” in action?”

These climate chumps can’t seem to contain themselves, be it ego or their pants.

So far only 4 women have come forward . More to follow . By all means he is entitled to a fair trial and due process . What would possibly motivate more than 4 women to claim this guy abused them ?
They aren’t gold diggers like the current Storm .

Daniels is a gold digger who wanted to dig the same dear many times with increasing price. No idea what she has done (wasn’t she caught of telling lies and then modifying them in order to continue), but I have no doubt her motive is just more money. It looks like Trump was blackmailed, which is not a good thing to have a president who can be blackmailed, but on the other hand, shouldn’t we damn a blackmailer?

Her legal council accepted leaked confidential documents (bank records ) . Case over .

NY’s former AG Schneiderman does seem like he’s a few Fruit Loops short of a bowl. Here he is lying outrageously about a group of pro-lifers that he was persecuting:

The very restrained young attorney with Thomas More Law Center who was interviewed in that clip is Mr. Tyler Brooks, who just won a Republican Primary Election in my NC House District, expecting to challenge the Democrat who currently represents me in the NC House… and that Democrat, strangely enough, has a lot in common with Schneiderman:

However, the incumbent Democrat lost his Primary yesterday, to a far-left Planned Parenthood & lesbian activist. It’s going to be an interesting Fall election.

A book titled Snowball Earth introduced the concept in 2003. I would have thought that those interested in climate issues noticed.
