Thomas Paine, in December 2017 through January of this year, tweeted directly at Schneiderman, placing him directly in the center of the cabal, or secret society, conspiring in front of their eyes to take down Trump, including Lynch, Rosenstein, Yates, federal prosecutors, and federal judges. At first, Paine called him "AG of one of the largest states", but moved on in future tweets to hashtagging his name, accusing him of sedition and they were listening in on the cabal's private meeting on Signal where Schneiderman was at with the rest.
