Surely, the judge gave a reason why he dismissed the case. Was his reason for dismissing the case that she was not credible? The answer is NO.
The judge dismissed her case 1 week after filing stating she made no claim where relief could be granted. You can read into it what you will.
And you can't just ignore the fact that she filed her case again and had a reputable lawyer--Lisa Bloom--daughter of Gloria Allred.
Well, shes a lawyer.
Once the statute of limitations expire, a lot of attorneys don't want to bother with the case. Many Cosby victims couldn't find anyone to take their case either. Epstein has people like Allan Dershowitz defending him.
Actually the second case that was filed allowed the case to move forward as her attorney claimed no Statute of Limitations could be observed because Johnson was threatened if she came forward. The Judge granted the motion and the case was filed with no financial request for damages at that time.
Once the case was filed and accepted by the court, Johnson stated she wanted to drop the case because she was threatened. After Bloom notified the media of Johnsons request to drop the case, Bloom received a call from one of her donors who offered a safe house for her client and $750,000 to pay for attorney fess and cost to safeguard the client. Johnson again refused and dropped her case.
A few months later Al Taylor sent a video of a woman with a blurred face and blonde wig (allegedly Johnson) recounting the allegations against Trump to news outlets, saying he wanted $1 million for it. Taylor, the Guardian reported, was actually Norm Lubow, a former producer on the Jerry Springer show who has a history of using fake names and disguises to make juicy, false claims about celebrities.
The lawsuit was promoted to the media by an anti-Trump, anti-abortion activist named Steve Baer who has a history of passing around “whoa if true” rumors and videos. To hear journalists who interacted with them tell it, Baer and Taylor come off as obnoxiously persistent in pushing the story, and infuriatingly evasive when asked for interviews with Johnson. Jezebel’s Anna Merlan published a long account of their bizarre antics.
Taylor in particular comes across as volatile and a little scary; Merlan reported that Taylor told her to “suck my dick” when she confronted him about his identity, and that he made harassing phone calls to other journalists. He also appears to have sent at least a few text messages and emails while posing as Katie Johnson — or at least messages that Meagher, Johnson’s attorney, denies that Johnson sent.
The Daily Beast’s Brandy Zadrozny also has a colorful story about the time Baer and Johnson had an epic public meltdown at each other — over Baer’s email list, cc’ing journalists all the way. In short, these guys are a trainwreck. But they’ve basically been the public face of Katie Johnson for the last year.
So it was clear she was looking for a settlement to keep quiet and when no settlement was offered she dropped the case. She then turned to Baer and Lubow from the Jerry Springer show to sell the video and that failed as well.
End of story. Its was all a fake setup for a quick buck and why no media will even touch her story.
