On BLOTUS knowing abt Schneiderman in 2013. Why didn't he spill that tea? My sad theories.

1.) He probably thought he would save it for later, having no idea he would actually win the presidency. When he purposefully decided to run, he likely clammed up about the fake University lawsuit because it made him look sad!

2.) He maybe didn't think beating and brutalizing women was such a big deal because it doesn't look like he reported it to any authorities.

3.) He is a dumbass.

Trump was considering for governor in 2013 and maybe he thought that he could control Schneiderman by holding this information over his head. That way the possibility that the Trump modeling agency was actually a cover for prostitution would never come to light. Peter Gleason was the attorney for a high-end madam, who might have been the person who referred the women (who are not the same as any of those in the New Yorker article) to him. But since he didn't run for governor he still would have wanted to keep the dubious activities of the modeling agency from coming to light, and it would have if he'd given up Schneiderman's abuse of his clients (who are probably prostitutes). At this point, though, he probably would have dropped the dime on Schneiderman if he had been about to indict any of his minions on state charges.

From some post here or who knows, I saw the word "madame" in a thing about Gleason. Why did I not pick up on that? I forgot all about the fake modeling agency!

he could have been afraid he would have gotten into trouble. I read DU this morning that two of the women Schneiderman abused may have been prostitutes and their madam referred them to the attorney since this is what the normal process for this type of problem was. If the moron was proven to be a pimp maybe Schneiderman had something against Cohen and the moron and they all kept their mouths shut.

Trial because that was just money which he knows he can find.

I think he has been saving it to keep himself out of jail, like holding the getting out of jail card in Monopoly.

And he knows all about everything they did to steal this election knowing he could pardon and had his get out of jail card to save him if he got caught.

Meanwhile destroying as much of the government as he can before we win back congress.
