Breaking: Corey Lewandowski charged in alleged battery of Breitbart reporter.

Quote of the day: Dean Hudson Todd said...Well Trump doesn't know what the Nuclear Triad is, so it's quite possible he doesn't know what an "assault" is either

[HonestJohn]

His starry eyed followers care about nothing but the wall and the tariffs.

And revoking birthright citizenship... and don't forget the Muslims.

And revoking birthright citizenship... and don't forget the Muslims.

Someone said today that he has said "you just added 10 feet to the wall" 8 times. Which means the wall is at least 80 feet tall and counting, now.

I just watched the new video.  They have him dead to rights.  The thug is going down.

If it's the same one I saw it was from above and clearly showed him grabbing her arm and pulling her backward.

That pretty much nails it.  His belief that he could beat this by blowing it off and demeaning her, when a simple apology right afterward would have sufficed, is almost the very definition of hubris, in the Ancient Greek tragedy meaning.  He'll probably plead down to a violation instead of a misdemeanor, but there is no getting around the fact that he did it, he and Trump lied about it, and, unfortunately, Trump's supporters are still in blank denial over obvious facts.  Maybe Trump couldn't get away with shooting someone on 5th Avenue, but quite clearly his supporters will let his campaign get away with assaulting a woman and then lying about it and besmirching her good name in public.

Interesting that the campaign hired the guy who was one of Gore's lead henchmen in the Florida recount fiasco.

Trump's political connections are fascinating.

Oh sheese. Thanks Bill. I'm disconnected from most media.

The sad thing is... no amount of evidence will open their eyes.  They will view it at more 'proof' of a giant conspiracy to destroy a 'good' man.

Sorry,  I stepped out .  It was on the WAPO site I think. Overhead view showing them filing out of the hall.   Front 3/4 front view.

A link to it is on page one of this thread.  In two places.

.  The State prosecutes crimes, private individuals do not. 

Charges almost certainly would not have been brought unless there was good cause to believe a case could be made.

 If the jury or judge chooses not to convict, that has no bearing on her.

DUH!

 How naive are you? It smells political.

Well it certainly would reflect upon a "journalisrs" credibility, but that never seems to deter anti-Trumps.

Wow...

All legitimate questions that will be raised in court.

Oh good grief. Excuse number 28.  Corey was 'helping' her.

Anyone who saw Kingsman knows a pen can also be a small bomb. They also used to put a phone in the Oxford heel in the old days.

Can you explain how Fields was as she said "pulled down"? 

[ABX]

Can you explain how Fields was as she said "pulled down"?

Yes, by watching the video. She also said she almost fell but kept her balance, she didn't say she actually fell. Her statement matches the video.
