      Here's the odd letter filed in the Cohen matter: A lawyer says he talked with Cohen about allegations against Schneiderman in the past, claims Trump "evidently" was informed of the allegations as well. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4457473-Cohen-v-USA-Protective-Order-Lettewr-051118.html …pic.twitter.com/143HVvdy1g

      Nope. None of our leads came via Trump people, and we had no knowledge of Gleason. No surprise there were other investigations—legit ones and political smears—as allegations were so widespread. But ours didn’t flow from any of that. Women in the story were all Dems, incidentally. pic.twitter.com/WxDMDhiKzm

      Just to be clear: not one source for our story on Schneiderman has any ties to Trump or Michael Cohen. Our sources all are deeply opposed to Trump and deeply disappointed that Schneiderman let them and their Cause down.

          1/ Respectfully, read (or reread) the article/thread. Both @RonanFarrow and @JaneMayerNYer deny that any of the victims they spoke with have any connection to Trump, Cohen, Gleason, or Dunleavy. Gleason claims 2 women came to him in 2013, but 4 other women came to Farrow/Meyer.

          2/ Farrow/Meyer appear to be unaware of these other 2 women (if Gleason’s claims are corroborated). I’m not trying to patronize you. This was all very confusing and I had to read the story and the letter from Gleason like 3 or 4 times to absorb it all. ✌🏽❤️pic.twitter.com/fUQ14zyyzA

          Cool! New questions: - Was Schneiderman blackmailed to make the settlement $25M? - Where did the $25M come from?

          That $25M was a paltry sum given the strength of the case. That could lead one to suspect that he was blackmailed into accepting a low ball settlement.

          I get the feeling Gleason is just an idiot trying to get his 15 minutes of shame. Look at his letter self-praising his protection of victims and at the same time saying he advised the victim to be quiet to avoid corruption. The only corruption here is Gleason in this instance.

          He is seeking his moment in the sun and trying to avoid any moments in prison too. This man must have engaged in acts he knows were wrong and now he is trying to save himself, not the clients to whom he gave bad legal advice. He probably turned a profit on the info too.
