    Trump aide charged with misdemeanor battery vs. ex-Breitbart reporter

    Trump aide charged with misdemeanor battery vs. ex-Breitbart reporter
    11:17 a.m. Tuesday, March 29, 2016 | Filed in: News

    JUPITER — Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump campaign manager, was charged this morning with misdemeanor battery after allegations of forcefully grabbing a reporter at a Jupiter news conference, town police confirmed this morning.

    Following a March 8 conference at Trump National Golf Club, Michelle Fields, a 28-year-old reporter formerly with the online Breitbart News Network, said she was grabbed on the arm by Lewandowski, 41, after she asked Trump a question about affirmative action.

    Washington Post reporter Ben Terris wrote that he witnessed the battery.

    Jupiter police later said they were looking into the incident after Fields filed a report, although investigators had not named Lewandowski.

    Lewandowski turned himself in to Jupiter police just after 8 a.m., accoriding to a police report.

    Surveillance footage captured at Trump National, off Donald Ross Road, corroborates Feilds’ claim, the arrest report says.

    Fields, who Tweeted photos of bruises on her arm she said resulted from the battery, resigned Breitbart less than a week after the incident. She cited Breitbart’s refusal to stand behind her amid the allegations as her reason for leaving.

    Lewandowski replied to Fields’ Tweet, writing: “You are totally delusional. I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.”

    Ben Shapiro, former Breitbart editor-at-large, also resigned, claiming in a prepared statement that the conservative news outlet, seen largely as supportive of Trump’s presidential bid, “abandoned” Fields “in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager.”

    Several other employees followed suit in the following weeks and resigned, according to multiple reports.

    When reporters and journalists choose paths that make themselves the subject of a Presidential campaign then our "free press" has indeed lost its special place in our society.

    The video shows, Corey pulled her back but she was not pulled almost to the ground as she stated prior nor does she seem to have been aggressively handled. Her other arm with phone never changed position or phone dropped..,.a ruff pull would have caused a reaction in the other arm holding the phone. She moves along like nothing happened. She obviously bruised her arm later to make a case out of this.



    JUPITER, FL — Donald Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, was charged Tuesday with battery following an incident earlier this month involving former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, the Jupiter Police Department announced.

    The Trump campaign said Lewandowski is innocent and will fight the charge.

    The incident in question occurred on March 8, just before 10 p.m., after a Trump campaign press conference at the Palm Beach County Trump National Golf Club.

    Fields told police she tried to ask Trump a question as he exited the ballroom following his speech. She held up her cellphone as a recording device, asked the question and then, “felt someone yank her left arm,” Lewandowski's arrest report stated. “She added that she fell back but caught herself from falling.”

    Fields told police she then turned to Washington Post reporter Ben Terris following the incident to ask “if it was ‘Corey’ who had grabbed her,” the report said. Terris confirmed it was, the report stated.

    Fields filed a complaint with the Jupiter Police Department on March 11. When she arrived at the police station, she showed a detective her left forearm, the report said. The detective noted “bruising from what appeared to be several finger marks, indicating a grabbing type injury.”

    It could be but the video doesn't actually show his hand on her left forearm. I guess that's why the police said the video "parallels" her story.

    Clinton Operative Files Bogus Criminal Charges Against Corey Lewandowski

    March 29, 2016 By Mike Cernovich 70 Comments

    Today Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was charged with battery for touching Michelle Fields arm during a media scrum. At the time Fields was moving towards Trump, who was surrounded by Secret Service agents and trying to leave.

    Desperate to sell books, Fields wrote an article claiming she was tossed around.
    Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.
    The video shows there was never an assault, leaving one to wonder why Lewandowski was charged. We now have an answer.

    Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg is part of Hillary Clinton’s team.

    In case there was any doubt about Hillary Clinton‘s overwhelming Democratic establishment support, her campaign this morning rolled out a 150-member “Florida Leadership Council” that includes most of the state’s big Democratic names — but is a little thin on Palm Beach County support, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg and Tax Collector Anne Gannon are also part of Clinton’s Florida team.
    As you can see in this video, there was no assault. Fields was heading towards Trump and was brushed away due to security concerns.

    UPDATE: Member of Trump's Secret Service detail confirms Fields touched Trump twice and was warned to stop, before Lewandowski intervened
    — David Martosko (@dmartosko) March 29, 2016



    Read the Corey Lewandowski police report.




    (Cruz-possibly a mistype) claims she was bruised. Watch the video. Corey never touched her forearm!



    Several journalists were in on the Michelle Fields hoax.

    An audio transcript was released without explanation. Why was anyone recording this conversation? In it you hear Fields conspire with Washington Post report Ben Terris to play up the event.
    Fields: “Holy sh*t.”

    Terris: “Yea he just threw you down.”

    Fields: “I can’t believe he just did that that was so hard. Was that Corey [Lewandowski]?”
    Terris: “Yeah, like, what threat were you?”
    Fields: “That was insane. You should have felt how hard he grabbed me. That’s insane. I’ve never had anyone do that to me from a campaign.”
    Terris: “Can I put that in my story?”
    Fields: “Yeah, go for it — that was really awful. That’s so unprofessional.”
    Terris: “He really just almost threw you down on the ground.”
    Fields: “He literally went like this and was grabbing me down. “I don’t even want to do what he just did to me. Oh my God, that really spooked me that someone would do that.”
    After questions were raised about the event, Ben Terris ordered his photographer to destroy or withhold any evidence revealing the hoax.

    Jabin Botsford, a photographer for the Washington Post, was at the event where Fields claim she was assaulted. As his camera offered the perfect angle of the event, he was asked for additional footage.

    As you can see in this exchange, Botsford first lies about even being at the event, only admitting to being at the event when presented with copyright evidence proving he was there. Botsford then deleted incriminating Tweets.



    As you can see the establishment will stop at nothing to prevent Trump from winning this election.

    Trump Does Mock Dramatic Reading of Michelle Fields Statement at CNN Town Hall
    Donald Trump seriously kicked off his appearance at CNN’s GOP town hall tonight by––and I’m not kidding here––doing a mock dramatic reading of Michelle Fields‘ original statement on what happened when Corey Lewandowski grabbed her.

    Cooper asked Trump about Lewandowski blatantly lying about touching Fields before being charged with battery over it today. Trump said, “I don’t know what ‘touch’ means.”

    He proceeded to read off her claims of how she was yanked by his campaign manager and almost fell, peppered with mocking little comments like “Give me a break” and “She didn’t even have any expression” and “She had no trouble with her balance.”

    Trump also made the claim that Fields grabbed his arm, which is something Trump only started saying today.

    Oh, and Trump also reacted to Fields having a pen in her hand by saying it could have been “a little bomb” for all he knew at the time.

    This whole thing is ridiculous. It's so obvious it was just a set-up. WaPo Photographer lying. Michelle Fields lying. Ben Terris lying. Good for Trump standing up for the Truth and Common Sense.

    And HISS BOO on the crooked, anti-Trump obsessed media creating battery where there is none while real victims of assault line up unattended to.

    Piers Morgan: Male Reporter Would Be ‘Laughing Stock’ if He Said Lewandowski Assaulted Him

    STAR MAX via AP

    by Breitbart News29 Mar 2016
    British TV host and columnist Piers Morgan weighed in on the news of criminal charges against Corey Lewandowski, campaign manager to Donald Trump, by mocking Michelle Fields for pressing assault charges.

    On Tuesday afternoon, Morgan took to Twitter, calling the criminal complaint “utterly pathetic” and telling Fields to “toughen up.”
    That's it?
    This constitutes a criminal charge of 'battery'?
    How utterly pathetic. https://t.co/FYgow4cAjr
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    If a male reporter tried to claim this was 'battery', he'd be rightly mocked.
    Toughen up, @MichelleFields. https://t.co/JuysRTwRTJ
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    These tweets provoked a wave of outrage from Fields’ defenders.
    It was 5 ribs, actually. https://t.co/zwxTfsMelm
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    Now THAT'S battery.
    By a Segway. https://t.co/DnqcOvmTmt
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    Morgan reiterated his point by comparing Fields’ complaint to veteran women in broadcast news, such as Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters.
    Can you imagine Barbara Walters, Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer claiming 'battery' for this? Just ridiculous. https://t.co/JuysRTwRTJ
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    Then he continued to quote and mock angry tweets, including a missive from former Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro.
    That's verbal battery.
    I'm pressing charges. https://t.co/1Mxnjkkbeh
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    Mate, I really wouldn't get into an aesthetic argument with that head.
    Now pipe down. https://t.co/jQt9A2l0vo
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    That's racist. https://t.co/33HSx7RWwR
    — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) March 29, 2016
    Morgan later wrote a full column on the subject for the Daily Mail. He says he has “watched the video multiple times and cannot conceive any sensible interpretation that he is committing any kind of deliberate assault.” He then claims that if Fields were a man, the press would laugh at rather than rally behind the criminal charges.
    [J]ournalism’s a rough old game. You dish it out, you have to take it.
    But this debate boils down to this: if a male reporter cried ‘battery’ after such a trivial incident, he’d be an absolute laughing stock.
    Why should a female reporter be taken any more seriously?
    By making such a grotesque mountain of such a tiny molehill, Michelle Fields has embarrassed herself and let down her profession.
    Toughen up, young lady – or choose a different job.
