New York's AG Uses Below-The-Belt-Measures On Pro-Lifers So He'd Win His Case
2018-02-23
[Daily Caller] New York’s attorney general oversaw and facilitated secret surveillance on pro-life counselors outside an abortion clinic as well as the creation of a fake identity in an attempt to win an ongoing case, according to a witness’s testimony.
Wonder how he figured he'd ever get away with that ?
Testimony in People v. Griepp et al ‐ New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman against pro-life advocates counseling women outside of Choices Women’s Medical Center in Jamaica-Queens, N.Y. ‐ illustrated Schneiderman used a witness to spy on pro-lifers via creating a fake Facebook account to access their information.

The witness testified she had used someone else’s photo, listed her occupation as a bank teller, created a fake residency ‐ even posting about the weather there to gain credibility ‐ and went under the guise of "Shelly Walker." The witness also allegedly accessed hundreds of pro-life activists’ personal information around the country ‐ she gave the data to Schneiderman’s office, according to The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC).

"I’m appalled at the Attorney General’s lack of respect for the First Amendment and his offices’ encouragement and use of fraudulent means to obtain information so that he can persecute peaceful pro-life citizens who have become the voice of the voiceless," TMLC president Richard Thompson said. "He [Schneiderman] has forsaken his responsibilities as an independent law-enforcement officer and is now acting as an agent of the abortion industry," Thompson added.

#5  It used to be that shit like this would result in a revocation of his law license. Must be nice to be a Democrat in New York.

#4  Re #1: He won't be thrown out of office. He will probably run for governor instead.

That smacks of Democrat Russian collusion (sarc on).

I wonder what was he going to do with the FB info obtained from the fake person site?

#1  Disgusting STASI tactics from a progressive leftist AG. He needs to be thrown out of office, and penalized for his violation of civil rights.
