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.”

And you make an ass out of yourself each and every day here. Who let you out of the crypt?
I've noticed...
With my own people alone I should like to drive away the Muslims (or just ELSIE!)
I didn’t get you banned the last time you were banned. You did that yourself. Grow up.
Then why didn’t you post that to her?
You’re a victim! Cry, baby, cry!
He’s an anti-Catholic bigot who was kicked off FR for a couple of weeks last month and is right back at it; looking to get kicked off again. I seem to hurt his feelings on a regular basis. As they say, it’s a dirty job...
You said he did that stuff “all the time” on the Apprentice, so I asked you for examples, and all you provided is the exact same example that you mentioned before and we all already knew about. Even though you couldn’t answer my question, you nonetheless claimed again that there was other behavior like this shown on The Apprentice. If you have no evidence or examples, you should quit making the claim.
If he were really doing stuff like that all the time on The Apprentice, Megyn Kelly would have been all over that a year ago. The press who was searching for things like that couldn’t find anything else on the program, but somehow you’re sure it’s there, but you just can’t provide any details of this accusation of yours…
“The prosecutor lost the evidence.”
This is from the Hannity article:
“Clinton’s defense team requested its own testing of the underwear, but it ended up being ‘accidentally destroyed’ by the ‘independent’ lab.”
This is from the Washington Free Beacon article linked from Hannity:
“Clinton can also be heard laughing at several points when discussing the crime lab’s accidental destruction of DNA evidence that tied Taylor to the crime.”
This is at http://freebeacon.com/politics/the-hillary-tapes/ .
So, my initial understanding was not quite right. It was the perp’s underwear, not the rape victim’s. The prosecution needed to establish her blood was on them. His semen alone was not enough.
Apparently, a small amount of blood was on them, which was cut out to perform testing. The LAB, not the prosecutor, discarded the part they cut out. Hillary blames the prosecutor for losing track, but I’m not sure how the chain of custody was broken here. Obviously, the underwear was still available, so the prosecution did not lose the evidence or lose track of it. Hillary CLAIMS the evidence was destroyed during the original testing. But we do not know that.
What we do know is that Hillary got the judge to give her custody of the evidence, and she personally transported it to a forensic expert in New York. We do not KNOW what happened to the evidence before the expert saw it.
Somewhere between the original lab testing it and the second expert testing it, the part with blood on it was gone. It is plausible that the rapist got lucky, and the lab destroyed all of the evidence. It is also plausible that additional parts were destroyed while in Hillary’s custody because it was only after she got her hands on it that the tests came back negative.
In the interview she laughs at this point about “preventing a miscarriage of justice”.
Hillary also LIED to the judge and prosecutor in order to force the little girl to be repeatedly interrogated. Hillary LIED about the girl. That may be done commonly, but it is illegal. This is not “zealously defending” a client. This is win at all costs no matter how unjust. She proved she was willing to DO ANYTHING to get what she wanted.
It was because of cases like this that many states had to enact rape shield laws. Those tactics would be illegal today in many states. And also, Hillary had no ethical duty to use them in the first place. A vigorous defense does not preclude attorneys being honest and humane. Hillary is NEITHER.
You mentioned coffee and ‘Lady’ is in your screen name.
I thought you might find it humorous.
Or even humerus; since attaches to the funny bone.
Not quite...
...I'm an anti-CatholISM fact poster.
Ah, out of your crypt since the sun has gone down.
You’re actually an anti-Catholic freak with a side order of anti-Mormon freakdom. Grow up.
Clinton: “Donald Trump is not in charge of the law.”
Trump: “If I were you’d be in jail.”
HMMMmmm...
Mormonism is not Christianity. FYI -->
Some Mormons undoubtedly become Christians, and evidently leave the Mormon sect they were members of behind.
No. I really didn’t.
And that is not why you did that.
HMMMmmm...
