“It’s fraud. … straight-up fraud,” Eric Schneiderman, the attorney general of New York who launched a lawsuit against Trump University in 2013 that is still pending, said during an MSNBC interview on Thursday morning.

But some Republican Attorneys General who received complaints from constituents about Trump’s for-profit “educational program” reportedly disagreed with Schneiderman’s assessment, dismissing complaints against Trump University around the time the businessman made substantial political donations to their election efforts.

An Associated Press report released on Thursday highlighted two such cases from former Texas attorney general Greg Abbott and current Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Abbott, now the state’s governor, reportedly opened a civil investigation into “possibly deceptive trade practices” when Trump University made inroads in Texas, but “Abbott’s probe was quietly dropped in 2010 when Trump University agreed to end its operations in Texas.”

1. Surprise, surprise. He's such a horrible human being.

He must be defeated in November.

2. Business as usual for Trump. The same way he took golf course land in Scotland.

3. None of this would have come to light had he not run

Just think about how deep the corruption is in our country. Mind-boggling.

4. If Eliot Spitzer were still NYS AG instead of Sneiderman,

Trump would've threatened to leak about the hooker(s), thereby nullifying any potential probe and/or prosecution.
