Schneiderman used color of law to get enemies

….

There is more to this story not yet reported. More women will likely come forward. The man is a bully. He also used his political and legal authority to go after political enemies and cover for those who were his allies.

Kristy Mazurek was a victim of the ruthless former State Assemblyman Dennis “Grab and Go” Gabryszak. Kristy and five other women – also victims – went to Schneiderman to investigate. The attorney general covered it up.

“I don’t think it is a coincidence that I and other women who dealt with sexual harassment never got our day in court because Eric Schneiderman protected others like him,” she said.

In the case of Albany cult leader Keith Raniere, despite multiple complaints by numerous women over the course of years – women who claimed they were abused by Raniere and his sex slaver cult of NXIVM, Schneiderman seems to have ignored or covered up crimes of the notorious brander and starver of women. One can see why: He liked to beat and starve women himself.

Yet Schneiderman was at the forefront of the #me too movement. Isn’t it always the most sanctimonious of assholes who are the greatest closet offenders?

There are more incidents to relate. How we went after political enemies like George Maziarz, and Rob Ortt.

Ortt’s case was dismissed post indictment. He also indicted Maziarz, who had participated in a political coup against him when Schniederman was a state senator in 2009. He had threatened to destroy Maziarz but could not do it politically so, when he became attorney general, he used the color of law to indict him on a raft of bogus felony charges. Maziarz wound up with a misdemeanor election violation and $1000 fine. But his life and career were nearly destroyed.

Then there is Steve Pigeon who helped engineer the State Senate coup in 2009 when Schneiderman got overthrown as Deputy Speaker of the Senate. Schneiderman vowed vengeance. There was nothing he could do until be became Attorney General. Then using the color of law, he went after Pigeon and indicted him on bogus charges that can never be proven.

But that did not stop him from raiding Pigeon’s house and destroying his reputation and business.

At the time of the senate coup, Schneiderman was seen by three witnesses – who told Artvoice that he – then a state senator – was screaming and threatening Pigeon at the Marriott Hotel in Albany.

He probably would have slapped Pigeon except Pigeon, being a man, might have hit him back.

We will have more on this later. Stay tuned.
