Woman who claimed Trump forcibly kissed her drops lawsuit
Politico ^ | 9/5/2019 | Josh Gerstein

A former Trump campaign aide who claimed she was “forcibly kissed” by Donald Trump during his presidential bid has dropped her lawsuit over the episode.

Alva Johnson is also dropping another part of her suit that alleged the Trump campaign underpaid women and minority employees.

Johnson’s suit grabbed headlines over her assertion that Trump abruptly kissed her as he was getting ready to make a public appearance at a campaign rally in Tampa, Fla., in August 2016.

However, the outlook for the legal challenge dimmed in July when lawyers for Trump filed with the court and released publicly a video of the encounter.

Trump’s attorneys said the 15-second video, captured on cellphone by another man in the recreational vehicle in which Trump was talking with aides and supporters, showed an unremarkable, brief and friendly greeting that hardly resembled the “battery” Johnson alleged in her suit.

Trump’s lawyers also said the video showed Johnson kissing Trump, rather than the other way around.

Following the emergence of the video, U.S. District Court William Jung suggested he might impose sanctions on Johnson’s attorneys if they proceeded with the aspect of the suit relating to the kiss.

I’m guessing you’re a woman :)

I thought you knew that. I knew you are a man, so I got your joke, too.

I guess I kinda let too much personal info on the board compared to most :)

I apologize.

Unless someone says “my wife” or “my husband” it’s hard to know who’s what :)

And even THAT doesn’t seal the deal anymore lol

All that being said, yeah being a good looking zillionaire in your 30s in Manhattan can be a lot of fun!!

No problem at all.

I was totally joking about the dream kiss, btw. Just a play on how ridiculous that woman’s lawsuit was.

Yes. and there was that leftist author who moved in next door to her house and spied on her family to write a book. Then years later McLame threw her under the bus.

“had a dream about him kissing me once, forty years ago “

Around 1990, after reading “The Art Of The Deal”, for about two weeks I dreamed I was married to him. Don’t recall any kissing. I was going through a rough time financially and chalked it up to some kind of escapism.

That is really funny! Good on you!

I actually was kidding about the kissing dream, but I did find him easy to look at back in the day, and he still is a great-looking guy for his age. I love how he walks and moves. Very Scottish. Reminds me of my Scots relatives.

Look at the way Craig Ferguson is moving around as he plays the Scottish drums and see what I mean:

(I miss Craig so much.)

Yes, but the ends justify the means. It's all Rules For Radicals, it's all Cloward-Piven on the other side.

They'll lie and cheat to gain power. The "rules" only apply to us, not them. The media knows this, and holds our side to the rules, while ignoring any violations by their side.

Our best hope is that the people see through their lies, and vote Trump. Again.
