NATION IS SWAMPED
President Trump promised to drain the swamp, and to do so he brought in his own Plumbers with a Capitol “P.” New century, same old crooks.
Instead of draining the swamp, they filled it to overflowing – and man! – the stench is killing us.
The latest offal dump splattered in court on Friday when media hound New York lawyer Pete Gleason filed papers alleging that Trump and his bagman Michael Cohen (right) were told about dirty boy Attorney General Eric Schneiderman’s alleged sex assaults as far back as 2013. That’s five years ago.
Turns out two women came to Gleason with horrifying Schneiderman (left) allegations – one in 2012 and another in 2013. Instead of going to the authorities, Gleason waited until 2013 and went to retired New York Post columnist Steve Dunleavy.
Who wouldn’t want your lawyer to not tell the authorities and instead report the sex assault to a retired guy in Florida?
Anyway, Gleason says Dunleavy promised to take the story to, no, not a higher authority, but to a lowdown dealmaker: Donald Trump. Yes, the very same Trump who was, at the time, being investigated by Schneiderman for Trump University fraud.
Why? Gleason told the Daily News, “Had Trump become governor, there would have been a real ally in Albany for these women.” Ally? You mean the world class womanizer, who’d starred in one of the biggest tabloid sex scandals, and was being investigated by the same man at the same time? That Trump?
Dunleavy denies the tale, says he never spoke to Trump, but Gleason says Cohen called him the next day to discuss it.
The women didn’t get justice, but Trump allegedly had the story, which he darkly hinted at in an incredibly badly-timed tweet on the anniversary of 9/11. The weird thing? Scheniderman’s assaults never came to light-until he joined Robert Mueller’s Trump campaign Russia probe.
Not for nothin’, but if it walks like a Trump and tweets like a Trump chances are good it isn’t a duck.
Unlike other holidays such as the never-to-bemissed Talk Like A Pirate Day, or Fruitcake Toss Day, Mother’s Day is supposed to be a day when things actually change: like giving your mom a break and honoring her because you forget to give her a break the other 364 days of the year. To that end, on Friday, The National Mother’s Day Committee, conferred their “Outstanding Mother” of the year awards to outstanding mothers at a luncheon. No! Not outstanding moms like you or me or anyone we know, but to Chelsea Clinton (inset) , Jessica Simpson (left), Sephora’s Chief Merchandising Officer Artemis Patrick and Victoria’s Secret CEO Jan Singer. Hey, nothing says outstanding mom like makeup, underwear and fashion. Unfortunately, outstanding mom Chelsea Clinton, was a no-show because she couldn’t get a plane out of Omaha, so her father, Bill Clinton, (not her outstanding mother, Hillary) accepted for her and talked mostly about himself. Bizarrely, according to WWD, he bragged about how his grandson greets him by saying his numbers, while his granddaughter, “says just like her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, ‘Where have you been? I haven’t seen you in a while.’ ” Yeah, that’s honoring the women in
