The WashPost lead editorial today was , surprise surprise, another hysterical attack on Trump. The Bezos blog was horrified that Donald Trump could make the reckless charge that the media, democrats, big banks and globalists were all conspiring against him. In their minds, just denouncing Trump's charge was adequate, no refutation necessary. After all, we are talking about Hitler here.
Back in realityville, reporters are still averting their eyes from the WikiLeaks docs, which proved rather conclusively that the media are virtually a hired adjunct of the Clinton campaign. It is amusing to see these toadies vying for a favorable nod from their master, but it is sickening when you realize a lot of low information voters take their cue for which candidate is legit from them.
The big page one news of course was that another "victim" of Trump has courageously come forward. This woman, a one-time aspiring actress/model/cocktail waitress/? in NYC vividly recalled being groped by playboy Trump one night in a club in NYC that she couldn't quite be sure of. This is a sad story of a nice looking woman reduced in middle age to reminiscing about what might have been and reliving her one day of glory, when a celeb groped her. There is an old Irish adage, "no story loses in the retelling," which seems apt here. The woman has a history of failed marriages, restraining orders, etc, but the Post treated her as obviously credible, unlike say, the legion of women attacked by Bill Clinton or the Benghazi parents.

Despite media attempts to produce Bill Cosby waterfall effect with a succession of women telling similar stories, facts keeping getting in the way. Of course, you have to dig for them since the media are allergic to them apparently.
The airplane groping claim is quickly falling apart, discarded now in favor of new claims. The plane in question did not have a removable arm rest in first class, which pretty much demolishes the woman's claims. A British man has come forward and said he was on the flight directly across from them and says her story is bs. He said she was flirting with Trump, and there was no groping, certainly not the "octopus arms" whoever wrote up her story lifted from another high profile case.
This woman and another one have indirect connections to Hillary, something the media had no interest in either. http://www.infowars.com/busted-trump-sex-allegations-full-of-holes/

There was another highly credible story written by some reporter at People who claimed Trump groped her at a Ray Charles concert at his place in Palm Beach. Apparently there was no such concert, she was never alone with Trump, at least one witness, his butler, says it never happened, and the story has crucial dates wrong. It also alleges a friendship with Melania Trump that was basically made up. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/10/trumps-butler-debunks-another-accusers-story-never-happened/

Donald Trump's camp claims the center armrest separating him from a fellow passenger is the smoking gun proving she's a liar ... but we did some digging and she's on solid ground.
Jessica Leeds claims she was sitting next to Trump on a flight from Dallas to NYC in 1979, when he got all handsy with her. She says all of a sudden the center console disappeared, and that's when the under-the-skirt groping began.
Trump's camp claims her story doesn't hold water, because the center armrest in first class was fixed -- not removable.
Leeds claims she was on a Braniff Airways Boeing 707, but we contacted Ben Cass, the founder of the Braniff Airways Foundation, and he says 707s were not in service from Dallas to NYC in '79.
Cass says the plane was actually a Boeing 727, and the armrest was indeed removable by simply pulling it vertically.
The armrest was held in place by pegs and Cass said it would take only 2 seconds to lift it off.
We also got hold of the Braniff International Flight Attendant Manual, which makes it clear ... the armrests, just like Leeds said, could disappear.
This cascade of dubious claims on the heels of the pussy tape is a pretty obvious attempt to neutralize the revulsion people fell for Bill Clinton's life of sexual predation and Hillary's role in enabling and protecting it. The tape was released at a critical time, just before the debate and at the same time as the WikiLeaks release, guaranteeing that the media could ignore the Wiki documents. Then the dribbling out of carefully crafted and unverifiable claims of harassment. They know that people will discount an isolated claim, but that they will find a series of claims credible, no matter how improbable they seem. The Bill Cosby effect. At the very least, voters will conclude that Trump is no better than the Clintons, so why bother voting for him?
I have to stand back and admire it as first rate political dirty trickery. We know if a republican did it, we would never hear the end of it. Democrats are still whining about the 1988 "Willie Horton" ad, a career criminal released on a foolish weekend pass program by dem candidate Mike Dukakis. Horton went on a horrifying crime spree while loose, but it was racist to point it out because he was black.
The media have a sordid history of reporting bogus claims as fact. We have the infamous Tawana Bradley scandal which lifted a fraud named Al Sharpton to fame. We have the Duke lacrosse scandal, a perfect media storm of rich white boys and a black victim. We have the UVA frat party gang rape, in which the reporter basically ignored clear signs that the story was false. All these stories were false, and some basic skepticism by the media would have avoided destroying innocent peoples lives, but they didn't give a crap. After all, the stories could have been true and they fit the media narrative of rich white guys sexually exploiting vulnerable women.

They were "removeable" in that they could be lifted off. They didn't pull up like she claimed.

"About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her."
I realize you are trying to spin a bad position here, but you know very well what I mean. The coach arm rests folded up. The first class ones did not. You can see that from the picture you posted. They could be removed entirely but you couldn't do it sitting down, it was too big, and you would have had to have some place to put it. The cabin crew would not be amused either.
The New York Post reported that Anthony Gilberthorpe contacted Mr Trump's campaign to counter the claim. In an interview to the paper he said: "I was there, I was in a position to know that what she said was wrong, wrong, wrong."
Mr Gilberthorpe made headlines in 2014 when he alleged that he had provided underage boys to British politicians for sex parties.
