Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner': Trump seemed to PREDICT NY Attorney General Eric Schnei

Donald Trump, either through insight or luck, appeared to predict New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's downfall in a 2013 tweet.

Trump's prediction came nearly five years before Schneiderman's resignation on Monday, hours after four women came forward accusing him of physical violence, which he denies.

'Weiner is gone, Spitzer is gone,' Trump wrote in reference to two New York elected Democrats forced from office by sex scandals: Congressman Anthony Weiner for sexting and Governor Eliot Spitzer for frequenting prostitutes. Weiner would later be convicted of sexting a minor.

'Next will be lightweight A.G. Eric Schneiderman. Is he a crook? Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner,' Trump wrote.

Just like Stone predicted Franken.

For the right time. They didn’t get what they wanted when he resigned immediately and didn’t give them another Anthony Weiner drawn out story.
