Michael Cohen had learned in 2012 or 2013 about the women accusing Schneiderman -- and was holding this over Schneiderman's head.
Maybe we needed Barbara Underwood in place to bring the lawsuit about. DT's statement today makes me wonder if he's so disturbed because he thought he had the situation under control.

Schneiderman, who ran the Clinton campaign in New York, never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case, which lingered in their office for almost 2 years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace, and his disciples brought it when we would not settle.

The FBI raid on Michael Cohen may have captured information about two women who say they were sexually victimized by ousted state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, a lawyer claimed Friday.
Upstate attorney Peter Gleason wrote to Manhattan federal Judge Kimba Wood whos overseeing a review of documents seized in the raid on President Trumps fixer asking her to seal any files concerning the two alleged victims.
Gleason says the two women individually came to him in 2012 and 2013 claiming Schneiderman had been sexually inappropriate with them.
He says he advised the women against going to Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance because the DA had ignored his cases in the past but he discussed the matter with pal and ex-Post reporter Steve Dunleavy, who said hed bring it up with Trump.

I was impressed that she marshalled her forces so quickly and got this filed.

but the AG's office wasn't ready to file until now. And it could also be that Spanky/Cohen knew about Schneiderman's behavior and were holding it over his head so he wouldn't file it.
