Are you actually following the details of this story, or are you just knee-jerk responding to this thread?
Breitbart senior editor-at-large Joel Pollak ordered his staff to stop tweeting about the story, stop speculating about the story. Also, Pollak posted an article where he asserted that Fields and Terris had to be mistaken in their identification of Lewandowski, and must have confused him with the SS agent in the pictures because he also was tall in a dark suit with close cut hair. That was his idea of supporting his employee.
There are two possible interpretations. One is that Fields lied about getting the bruises from Lewandowski, she faked them or had them already and falsely attributed them to this incident. If that can be established, that would greatly affect her credibility as a witness. However, the video showing the incident still remains, and there is still the eye witness of Ben Terris. She could also be subject to charges of perjury or impeding an investigation or some such.
The second possible interpretation is that she did get the bruises from the incident, but the jury does not feel there is sufficient evidence to prove that the bruises came from the incident. That is a case of lack of sufficient evidence versus a case of falsifying testimony. In that case, the lack of evidence that the bruises came from the incident does not have any relation to whether the incident occurred or was battery. The jury could still find Lewandowski guilty.
The “we” are the people posting in this thread. I did not say anything to the effect I “represent” those people. I just made a simple statement of fact about what had not been said or implied by anyone in this thread.
Just as no one has said that a “heinous” crime has been committed, and no one has said that it “must be Trump’s fault”.
Why is it that you have to keep making shit up? You don’t have to answer that question of course, but do you have sufficient capacity for self reflection to ponder that question? Maybe you should do so. I would suggest to you that, if you think about it, it’s pretty damning that you have to keep making stuff up in order to be able to have something you are able to rebut.
You realise there’s a video of him doing more than touching her arm? Just exactly how determined are you to bury your head in your ass? There’s no need to answer that.
Oh fer cryin’ out loud. Yes, that’s what he’s saying. That’s what lots of people are saying. That’s what any first year law student could tell you. Are you actually paying any attention at all?
Lewandowski is entitled to a defense and all that a proper defense entails. What’s-her-name the reporter is going to have to convince the jury/judge that her bruises came from the encounter with Lewandowski. The defense is allowed to introduce reasonable doubt.
When all is said and done, there’s a chance that a jury will wonder why this case ever went to court. It’s bad enough that I had to take a day off work (some jurors may have lost a days pay) for the $14 (?) the State gives us to cover travel time and expenses but then I have to listen to this whiny horseshit. Give me a break!!!
This is obviously a landmark case as far as the Democrat collective is concerned. They get another chance to blame Trump for something he didn’t do.
p.s. Thanks for spelling my nom de plume correctly.
I was under the impression that the reporter had quit Breitbart.
The Democrat collective has really gotten their Underoos in a bunch over this national safety, health, and security issue. It would be hysterical if it wasn’t so serious.
The reporter will have to confirm, under oath, that the photo(s) of her alleged bruise are actually photo(s) of a bruise caused by the actions of Lewandowski.
The prosecutor won’t be able to simple say to the jury, “Trust me, I’m a prosecutor”.
My three-year-old sometimes fixates on something totally irrelevant.
“Katie, I need you to go upstairs.”
“But I didn’t get cake yet!”
“What? Nobody’s having cake. It’s time to go upstairs to brush teeth.”
“BUT I DIDN’T GET CAKE!!!”
“Katie, c’mon, it’s time to go.”
“DADDY! I!DID!NOT!GET!CAKE!”
In these circumstances, I’ve found one thing that works:
“You did NOT get CAKE! And that makes you MAD! You’re FRUSTRATED!”
“YES!”
“I get that. But we still have to go upstairs now.”
After some sniffling, if I acknowledge the completely irrelevant thing she’s obsessing over, she’ll generally come with me.
Breitbart isn’t PUSHING this ISSUE! Breitbart does not CARE about this ISSUE! And that’s IMPORTANT to you!
But the reporter is still a Republican who at the time was working for a Republican news outlet, and there’s no sign that the grab turned her into a Democrat.
Doorhinge, honey, I know that matters to you, but it’s still time to move on. This story is one that’s of interest to pretty much everyone who dislikes Trump’s heavyhanded (literally in this case) approach to politics, and that doesn’t just mean Breitbart.
Who are these alleged “sources”? Are their names being withheld for national security purposes. The official announcement, assuming there will be one, is supposed to be made Thursday (today) afternoon. I can wait for the official announcement. I wonder if this is a legitimate news story, or is someone scamming the news media and internet in order to renew interest in this tempest-in-a-teapot-let’s-blame-Trump-for-something-anything-everything movement (hehehe, I said “movement”)? Time will tell.
*A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.
The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.
Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said.*
Why do you make such silly wonderings? As you said, they are going to announce today which will “renew interest” all on it’s own without any need for a scam.
As I said? Do you mean as an un-named source said? At least according to the Politico reporter’s story. I’ve noticed in the past that many “news” stories have been poorly vetted, if they were vetted at all. I don’t mind questioning the stories or the “source”. You may feel differently.
