Matt (Schlapping) Schlapp

[raison de arizona]

*

It’s recently come to light that Matt Schlapp was accused of stripping to his underwear and rubbing against another person without his consent & that he tried to kiss a man without consent.
CPAC knew and did nothing.
I wonder if his accountability partner Mike Johnson knew too.

*to the best of my knowledge Matt Schlapp was not Johnson’s internet porn accountability partner. That was Johnson’s son.

“All of us”

It seems the vast, vast majority of men manage to get through life without raping anyone, let alone raping someone and then repeatedly defaming them.

"This $83 million -- this is just the beginning. All of us will be paraded down this gangplank. We won't have our resources, we won't have our homes, we won't have our livelihood."

BUT... But... but... Teh Donald is a billionaire, he will pay that settlement out of the petty cash, no need to sell homes

Technical support informs me that gangplanks are constructed horizontally and one does not necessarily walk (or more properly, march) down the gangplank. And there are no parades. Each drownee is individually marched off the gangplank, and whether the plank points up or down at any given moment depends on the motion of the ship to which it is attached. On a calm day, it is parallel to the surface of the sea. This is your utterly useless factoid of the day.

SCOOP: Another round of subpoenas in the Matt Schlapp sexual assault case, including to an official who allegedly oversaw the shredding of personal records belonging to Schlapp in the CPAC office—days after the allegations broke. Me @thedailybeast
From thedailybeast.com: https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-matt- ... ng-at-cpac

Subpoenas were also sent to two Herschel Walker campaign officials who fielded the initial accusations, as well as to a young CPAC aide who has reportedly grown close to Schlapp, despite internal complaints about his qualifications and shaky biographical details

NOW it makes sense. Of course the Schlapps were liars. Video of Christian Walker (Herschel's son) in the tweet below.

#SCHLAPP: Crotch pummeling Matt Schlapp’s accuser Carlton Huffman was PAID to drop Sexual Assault Suit: Lawsuit was dropped only after Schlapp’s accuser was paid $480,000 from ACU’s insurer. Christian Walker @ChristianWalk1r was right. https://www.thedailybeast.com/matt-schl ... sault-suit

Matt Schlapp’s Accuser Was Paid to Drop Sexual Assault Suit
EXONERATED?
The GOP operative who sued Matt Schlapp over allegations of sexual assault dropped his lawsuit, prompting Schlapp to take a victory lap. It’s more complicated, however.

When conservative icon Matt Schlapp announced Tuesday that the sexual battery and defamation lawsuit against him had been dropped, he and his allies were quick to note that the ordeal ended without him or the American Conservative Union—the right-wing organization he runs—paying his accuser a single dollar.

But what Schlapp didn’t disclose was that the Republican operative who sued him was, in fact, paid to drop the lawsuit, according to two people with knowledge of the payout. It was just that the money came from ACU’s insurance company, these two people told The Daily Beast.

(Minutes before this article published, CNN ran a story also revealing that the lawsuit was dropped only after Schlapp’s accuser was paid $480,000 from ACU’s insurer—an amount one of the sources confirmed to The Daily Beast.)

While Schlapp’s financial victory lap on a technicality apparently drew the attention of his accuser, it wasn’t the only thing that may have been misleading.

Schlapp’s accuser, former Herschel Walker campaign staffer Carlton Huffman, has also taken issue with the content of a conciliatory statement that a Schlapp spokesperson provided to media outlets in Huffman’s name, these sources said. The verbiage in that statement was not what Huffman had agreed to as part of the settlement, they said.

Hours after the news broke on Tuesday, these sources said, Huffman’s counsel notified Schlapp’s legal team that some of Schlapp’s personal statements and social media posts celebrating the lawsuit’s resolution appeared to be in breach of the agreement’s non-disparagement clause. Those posts have since been taken down, including one where Schlapp, citing a Washington Examiner report on his personal Twitter account, wrote that he had been “cleared” of wrongdoing and that Huffman had “apologized.”

The new allegations suggest that the legal battle—an increasingly contentious dispute that played out under intense media scrutiny for more than a year—might be heating back up almost as soon as it ended.

Huffman filed the lawsuit last January, about 10 days after he first came forward anonymously in The Daily Beast, alleging that Schlapp had “pummeled” his crotch while he chauffeured the conservative influencer to Schlapp’s hotel after a boozy night in Atlanta.

I guess we have the next lonely wanderer on the Appalachian Trail

Wondering this AM how much $$$ it would take for me to sign a document saying that I'd been mistaken about a sexual assault when there was overwhelming evidence to back up my original story.

Would I take satisfaction in the fact that anyone with a brain would know I lied for the money? How much would I regret that the grifters and brain dead would use the document as proof that the assaulter had been victimized?

I'm thinking the dude should have held out for at least a mil.

A defendant's insurer gave money to the plaintiff in exchange for dropping the suit.

That sounds like a ... (*checks notes*) ... settlement.

It sounds like the settlement agreement didn't contain a sufficiently robust no-disparagement clause.

Throughout the afternoon, Schlapp posted articles about the dismissal and statements of support from allies. Huffman’s attorney later flagged the content of some of those posts for Schlapp’s counsel as potentially exceeding the terms of the settlement, according to the two sources. Schlapp has now deleted several of those tweets.
