New York's combative attorney general reached a major milestone...

in his battle with the Trump administration — and he could be a last resort in the Russia probe


New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman recently took his 100th legal or administrative action against President Donald Trump's administration or congressional Republicans since Trump's victory last fall — and some view him as a potential last resort in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling.

"We try and protect New Yorkers from those who would do them harm," Schneiderman told The Times. "The biggest threat to New Yorkers right now is the federal government, so we're responding to it."

The one that read "I love my country, but I don't trust the government!" (or words to that effect). It's possible that all the pick-up trucks and SUVs that were adorned with that sticker ended up in the junk yard. What's more likely is that the idiot owners have grown to trust the oligarch and kleptocrats who now occupy the swamp, and scraped off the stickers.

Is a coward. She is doing nothing tangible to stop the Trump/ Republican agenda.
She is not helping the people of upstate NY.
Every now and then she will vote against the agenda, but not when it would make a difference.
She needs to be repealed and replaced!

What about the indictments already issued by Mueller?

Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, etc.???
