Before he even announced he was running for president, Donald Trump predicted the downfall of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman all the way back in 2013.
Weiner is gone, Spitzer is gone – next will be lightweight A.G. Eric Schneiderman. Is he a crook? Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner

Comparing Schneiderman to disgraced former Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner and former Democratic New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, both of whom resigned from their respective positions after sex scandals, Trump claimed that Schneiderman was worse than both of them.
According to a bombshell report published by The New Yorker Monday, four women have come forward and accused Schneiderman of physical violence and death threats.

As far back as 2013? Wow. Seems like Trump was “paying attention” for a lot longer than most people thought. I suffered personally from activities by Spitzer who helped bankrupt a company I had investments in. Once the government got involved using government legal monkey business I knew the company was done. It could not afford the costs required to litigate for years and years.
