Manhattan DA's office to investigate former NYAG Schneiderman whose office is investigating Cyrus Vance, the Manhattan DA

The Manhattan District Attorney’s office announced last night that it will investigate now former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman after the bombshell report by Ronan Farrow and the physical abuse of four women:

NEW: Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance has opened an investigation into "the recently reported allegations concerning Mr. Schneiderman,” a spox confirms to @NBCNews

And now, like @Schneiderman, we will focus on taking Trump down.

And like @Comey, @Schneiderman will be there for that victory. Bet on it. #TrumpRussia pic.twitter.com/veC6Sru7eG

And if you recall, Schneiderman’s office is already investigating Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance over Vance’s failure to prosecute Harvey Weinstein:

So, THIS presents an interesting twist: ??????

Schneiderman, as State AG, was already investigating DA Vance for his involvement in the decision not to prosecute Harvey Weinstein. https://t.co/v1ECxzO6Ow

Just another day in the New York swamp:

DA spokesman said “our office” has opened an investigation. Unclear what role Vance himself would play.

And we do mean swamp. Check out this list of New York politicians with legal trouble:

NY in last 10 years:
Governor resigns (Spitzer)
Governor ends re-elect (Paterson)
Comptroller imprisoned (Hevesi)
4 Sen leaders convicted (Bruno, Espada, Smith, Skelos)
Assembly speaker convicted (Silver)
30+ lawmakers have legal trouble (https://t.co/E570o6QSKn)

And now the AG
