Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately
New York Times ^ | October 12, 2016 | MEGAN TWOHEY and MICHAEL BARBARO

Posted on 10/12/2016 4:38:35 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.

“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”

At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.

More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.

Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.

Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.

Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

I wouldn't see it that way....although he makes himself a target because he's campaigning for her....which is why inti tally they didn't want him to be out there unless she was in trouble. However they did bring him out very early on because she couldn't get off the ground. The focus needs to be on Hillary 24/7 and that relentlessly...he's got an arsenal he can use. As for the 12 year old Hillary got off......unfortunately she was really damaged by that entire event....few realize how utterly brutal her attacker was....she wasn't hospitalized for a long time for nothing...ripped and torn beaten and bruised......and Hillary laughed....

It would be far too much for her to do more than she has already...it ruined the woman for life. As she said....what Hillary did to her in court etc. was almost as bad as what her attacker did to her.....

Movie 'Devil's Advocate" with Keanna Reeves playing an attorney drilling a 12 year old girl...trying to get a guilty rapist off free that he knew was guilty, is a good example of what Hillary did to this 12 year old.....

I can find nothing online where Gloria Allred succeeded in her case against Herman Cain. Was the case dropped?

Gloria Allred also did this with Mitt Romney:

Says she told 4 friends, and the times checked it out. So I read that to mean she bragged about it to some friends 20 years ago, but now it TV time, and 15 minutes of fame.

We battle not against flesh, but against principalities. That’s what God has told us.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST MR. TRUMP WILL PROSPER.

If the Republicans had any balls, they would have taken out Gloria years ago. She’s a trouble-maker, as is her daughter, and brings nothing but bad news to Republicans or anyone who runs across her path. But, as always, the Repubs run for the tall grass whenever they see her coming. In the old days, she used to wear these weird needles in her hair which made her look like an evil character out of the old movie Dragon Seed. She wrecked Cain’s reputation over nothing but he’s battled back, happily.

I saw him come out a UFO in 1990 and molest a cow. I have been too ashamed to come forward. /s

Hummm... I don’t get to the city often. I tend to go to Philly more often, or DC. I am going to Philly at months end actually.

NJ I don’t ever get to. Only if we skip over when in Philly.

I do want to get to NYC in the early spring at latest. Husband is going down in a couple of days to visit the Met. He wants to start out at 6:00am. I only did that once before and I was miserable all day. :)

If you are anywhere near the Philly side of NJ, message me. Maybe we can meet while I am down there.
