May 11, 2018 Lawyer Says He Consulted Cohen on Schneiderman Accusers

MANHATTAN (CN) – The FBI’s raid of embattled Trump attorney Michael Cohen might have scooped up files involving women who say New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman “sexually victimized” them, an attorney said Friday in a letter to the court.

As explained in the letter, his meeting with the first alleged Schneiderman accuser did not go anywhere because he explained that “the very entities that were established to protect her would ultimately turn on her to protect the power elite that includes Schneiderman.” When a second woman came forward a year later with a nearly identical story of sexual impropriety involving the Democratic attorney general of New York, Gleason says he again bit back his instinct to report the matter to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. Instead, according to the letter, he went to Donald Trump by way of veteran New York Post columnist Stephen Dunleavy. The Post quoted Dunleavy meanwhile as confirming that Gleason told him about the women. Whereas Gleason says Dunleavy offered to discuss the Schneiderman case with Trump, however, the veteran Murdoch reporter has reportedly denied talking to Trump. Gleason says he received a phone call from Trump’s longtime personal attorney, Cohen, shortly thereafter. “During my communications with Mr. Cohen I shared with him certain details of Schneiderman’s vile attacks on these two women,” the letter states. “The extent of Mr. Cohen memorializing any of our conversations is unknown,” it continues. https://archive.ph/KGWqm

May 17, 2018 MANHATTAN (CN) - A lawyer who purports to represent the interests of unnamed women “sexually victimized” by former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman took aim Thursday at lawyer Michael Avenatti to bolster his motion for a protective order. “Avenatti’s fast and loose style is exactly why a protective order should be granted,” attorney Peter Gleason said of the attorney for Stephanie Clifford (“stormy”)

Gleason says he consulted Michael Cohen, the embattled private attorney of President Donald Trump, years earlier about Schneiderman accusers . Because Cohen’s files were raided by the FBI, part of a criminal investigation in which Daniels is vying to intervene, Gleason says his privileged conversations with Cohen should be protected. https://archive.is/8An2c

Shocked that the FakeFailing NYT actually printed this:

Mr. Gleason also said in the interview… that he had told elected officials of his concerns about Mr. Schneiderman’s abusive behavior nearly five years ago, but was rebuffed …. The highest levels of our state and city government were well aware of Eric Schneiderman , he said. https://archive.is/CsMg6
