With the resignation of New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman, after four women came forward, two of them named on record with accusations of physical sexual violence, including hitting, choking and beating them to the point where they had to seek medical attention, we see yet another example of a high profile self-appointed Trump enemy going down.
Schneiderman, knowing full well that it was his right to remain silent, then made matters worse by issuing a statement claiming "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in non-consensual sex, which is a line I would not cross."
While the Manhattan DA, and the NYPD have publicly announced the opening of investigations into this issue, I will reiterate the stance ANP has taken previously in regards to others, until the investigations are fully investigated and he is charged and tried, these are still only allegations, despite his already being castigated in the court of public opinion.
If these allegations are true, the optics of a man, Schneiderman, that spoke out at the Woman's March about women's rights, and against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein after he was accused of sexual abuse, rape and other sexual crimes, and called himself a proponent of the #MeToo movement, could not be worse.
With that said, these allegations and investigations are not the actual point of this piece, it is the sheer number of anti-Trumpers and Trump enemies, that have consistently suffered career consequences, public embarrassments, and gone into melt-down mode, since the very beginning of his political career.
Whether these allegations against Schneiderman are proven or not, his career as the NY AG is over because he has officially resigned, and it is noteworthy that President Trump predicted he would go down back in 2013, and made pointed mention of Schneiderman in 2014 and 2015, in multiple tweets, in which Breitbart describes as Trump's long war with Schneiderman.
September 2013, Donald Trump, then a private citizen, tweeted "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," both men having been involved in career ending sexual scandals.
THE FALL OF 16 PRIMARY OPPONENTS, HILLARY CLINTON & THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
Perhaps the hardest hit by the Trump-Effect has been the mainstream media who set themselves up as opposition to Donald Trump-the-Candidate from day one, first declaring he didn't have a chance of making it through the primaries, with every speech he made they found some reason or another to declare his campaign "dead," as he continued to rise in the polls. One by one, 16 primary opponents were forced to suspend their campaigns and drop out of the race.
Then came the general election, with the media declaring Donald Trump had no chance to win the general election, with multiple media outlets giving him such small percentages that their readers were convinced there was no way he could win against Hillary Clinton, all the way up until election day, where they still assured their audience that he simply was not going to win.....until they sat there shocked as the results came in, some in actual tears, as Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 presidential election.
The MSM's crusade continued throughout the next year, with their opposition to president Trump on full display, with 90 percent consistent negative and hostile coverage, and over a dozen examples of reporting outright fake news, which later had to be retracted, corrected, deleted, with multiple members of having to resign and/or be suspended.
DEEP STATE DOMINOES FALLING
Multiple members of the intelligence community, often referred to as part of the "deep state" have also set themselves up as direct opponents, shown themselves to be anti-Trumpers, by texts, emails, public statements and in other ways, and one by one, they also are continuing to fall like dominoes.
Former acting AG Sally Yates, Former FBI director James Comey, Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, all terminated. others such as FBI lawyer Lisa Page, well known now for her anti-Trump and pro-Hillary text messages with her alleged FBI lover Peter Strzok, has recently resigned. As has former FBI special counsel James Baker. Strzok himself was reassigned off of the special counsel's team after those texts were discovered.
Mike Kortan, FBI Assistant Director for Public Affairs, longtime aide of Comey, announced his resignation in early February, amidst the intense scrutiny of media leaks with Andrew McCabe having been publicly castigated after the OIG report indicated he had lied multiple times, including under oath, and had leaked information to the press.
Other members of the intelligence community now gone are former assistant to Comey, Josh Campbell, David Laufman, Chief of the Justice Department’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, (Note- Laufman helped oversee both the Clinton investigation and Russia probe), Head of the Justice Department's National Security Division, John Carlin, Acting Assistant Attorney General, Mary McCord (leaving in May), and Associate Attorney General, Rachel Brand.
Because the majority of reports regarding these people either being reassigned, demoted, resigning or terminated are reported separately, it is unclear how many people actually know how much of the deep state swamp is already gone, so we wanted to put the entire list for the readers to see the bigger picture.
The other Hollywood Trump-hater is Ron Perlman, known for his very public Twitter rants against President Trump, which we cannot show here because they are full of cursing and foul language, but which Twitchy has documented time and time again. His latest rant included (will show a couple of the non-cursed filled tweets,) the statement "I feel weak. I feel nauseous. I feel impotent. I feel betrayed. I feel alone. I feel terrible," before informing his followers he was taking a break, stating "I’m taking a break. I’m going back to my little corner of the world where all I have is poured into family, friends, and the nobility of storytelling that celebrates our commonalities and not our differences. In the words ofJoni Mitchell, if you want me I’ll be in the bar..."
A look at his Twitter feed shows he hasn't been back since.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ANNOUNCES IRAN DEAL PULLOUT- ON CUE, LIBERALS FREAK OUT
Last but definitely not least, there is a complete, mass liberal meltdown occurring right now because president Trump kept yet another of his promises, and pulled the U.S. out of the Iran deal, dubbed Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, that the Obama administration suckered the nation into.
Needless to say, on cue and predictably, everyone from Barack Obama and his lackies, and liberals across the internet are declaring, once again, the end of the world as we know it, in a web-wide internet freakout.
BOTTOM LINE
Where have we heard that before.....hmmmmm? Oh that is right, when Trump spoke about unleashing "fire and fury" against North Korea, liberals screaming about war.... right up until the North Korean leader met with the South Korean leader and began talks about a meeting with President Trump.
I cannot even begin to count the amount of times we have seen liberals, and Trump-haters declare the end of the world as we know it, yet here we are, alive and well, while enemy after enemy is brought down, brought to the table, or self-imploding.
I call it the Trump effect.
