Former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields has left her Washington, D.C. apartment after news outlets accidentally published Fields’ address and phone number, opening her up to harassment.

Fields successfully filed police charges against Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, leading to Lewandowski’s arrest for battery Tuesday. But when Fox News and Buzzfeed published Lewandowski’s arrest report online, they forgot to redact Fields’ personal information.

Fields told The Blaze that she has been swamped with threatening messages on her phone ever since. Some of those threats were bad enough that she no longer felt safe staying in her apartment.

After she successfully got her personal address removed from both websites, now the constant death threats are limited only to Twitter.

If Fox and Buzzfeed had access to the arrest report, wouldn't everyone? Or are they special?

I actually agree with you on this. Arrest reports are public information.

Who looks at arrest reports except voyeurs?

For most arrest reports, ok. But this is probably the hugest political story in the country right now. Little different.

IMO, the more important info is that she is being overwhelmed with death threats.

Trump supporters??  I mean who else could it be?
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Of course, it's all Trump's fault. He undoubtedly personally enlisted anonymous people to make Trump supporters look bad. :mauslaff:

Wouldn't surprise me, considering the number of times Trump has made implied threats of violence or has condoned the violence of others.

Aren't the accuser's personal details usually redacted from the public record, though?

The leaking of these things is an unfortunately way too common dirty trick in politics.

Doubt it.

Mike Cernovich and Milo Yappylittleshit both have huge gamergate followings and have both jumped on her hard. Those little twats LOVE frightening women - no politics necessary.

Hmm. This could be a case of strange bedfellows.

I don't know, I've seen stories stating that Trump isn't nearly as wealthy as he says. Maybe he can't afford $15/hr. /s
