Video shows Trump's campaign manager lied. Now what?
« on: March 29, 2016, 09:51:14 AM »
Will Trump hold a press conference, denouncing the actions and lies of his staffer, saying lying will not be tolerated in this administration, integrity matters and issue an apology to the reporter to offset his image as a womanizer who degrades women or... will he dismiss the video, pretending it doesn't exist and say he stands behind his campaign manager and the press is out to get him....

I'm going with the latter.

Trump has already said the guy didn't do it.  He could show some character by firing the guy and condemning his conduct.

Trump Threatens to Press Charges Against Reporter in Campaign Manager Flap

Image: Trump Threatens to Press Charges Against Reporter in Campaign Manager Flap  Donald Trump (AP)
By Todd Beamon   |    Tuesday, 29 Mar 2016

Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to press charges against a former Breitbart News reporter after his campaign manager was charged with "intentionally" touching her at a rally earlier this month.

Here's what the Republican presidential front-runner said on Twitter regarding the reporter, Michelle Fields:

Fields, 28, accused Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, 42, with grabbing her arm during a news conference on March 8 in Jupiter, Fla., causing bruises.
   
Lewandowski was charged with simple battery for "intentionally" touching Fields, the Jupiter Police Department said Tuesday. He turned himself into police and was given a May 4 court date on the misdemeanor charge.

Authorities released video appearing to show Lewandowski reaching toward Fields and holding her back as Trump passed by after the news conference at the Trump National Golf Club.

He had won primaries in Michigan and Mississippi that night.

Trump posted another tweet quoting Fields' initial statement to police:

The developer also defended Lewandowski, saying that he was a "very decent man" and that the video showed "nothing there."
 
His campaign said in a statement that Lewandowski was issued a formal notice to appear and given a court date but wasn't arrested.

"Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge," said spokeswoman Hope Hicks. "He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court.

"He is completely confident that he will be exonerated," she said.

The reporter touched Trump first and was carrying an unidentifiable object in her hand.

Just want to point out that threatening a lawsuit isn't the same thing as threatening someones life or threatening them with physical harm.

I agree.  It's possible or even likely.  I'd like to see if it's true.

This "crime" is pretty weak.  Reeks of political games.  Gotta love that equal protection under the law.

Oh course he would. This whole thing is such a joke.

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



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.”

Morgan reiterated his point by comparing Fields’ complaint to veteran women in broadcast news, such as Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters.

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.

Yes, although Trump has threatened to use violence.  I didn't realize how big of a sissy that man is.

Alot of respect for Trump for standing by his man even though it might not be the best thing to do politically speaking. The vast, vast majority of other candidates would not do the same.

The way the media is trying to railroad this Corey Lewandowski guy is a damn shame.

Another interesting, if true, quote from Piers Morgan's article:

Quote
Crucially, DailyMail.com has now established from a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail that in the process, she touched Trump twice and was warned by agents to stop.

Watched portions of Trump's town hall and an interview about this.  Attacking the woman.  Calling her a liar.  Engaging in the same irresponsible behavior we've seen from President Obama who has repeatedly commented on ongoing investigations. 

Watching Trump is surreal.  It's like a real life Saturday Night Live skit.

Thread title is an obvious lie. Video shows nothing and proves that Fields fabricated it all. She should be sent to forced labor in a whore house for lying.

She is a liar. Video proves it. Not sure why you are grasping at straws??? That all? That the best you can do? This is a non-story. Only now it is a story, making Trump look like the victim. You should join his campaign since you're so eager to help him.

What video?  The one showing the guy grabbing her arm? 

Or are you referring to the contemporaneous audio, which proves the guy grabbed her arm?

Exclusive: Transcript of female Breitbart reporter allegedly being roughed up by Trump campaign manager
By Hadas Gold
Updated 03/14/16
 

Donald Trump's spokesperson flatly denied on Thursday that campaign manager Corey Lewandowski roughed up a reporter for the conservative website Breitbart, and suggested she was fabricating the incident in a desperate bid for attention.

A roughly two and a half minute audio recording of the incident obtained by POLITICO — while not definitive — supports the reporter's version of the events, which were witnessed by Washington Post reporter Ben Terris.

A transcript of the alleged altercation between the reporter, Michelle Fields, and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, follows below, along with her conversation with Terris:

***

Din of people talking, clanking of glasses, snippets of conversation, reporters telling one another to 'move up a little', greeting each other, saying 'good to see you' saying 'OK good quote then', then clearly action picks up as cameras start clicking.

Fields: “Mr. Trump, you went after the late Scalia for affirmative action, do you -- are you still against affirmative action?"

Voice (allegedly Corey Lewandowski): “Excuse me, thank you.”

A few moments later (noise of the room can be heard)...

Terris: “You OK?"

Fields: “Holy sh*t."

Terris: “Yea he just threw you."

Fields: “I can’t believe he just did that that was so hard. Was that Corey?"

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 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."

Terris: “What threat were you?"

Fields: “Nothing. I was asking about affirmative action."

Terris: “And he probably knows you, right?"

Fields: “Yeah, I don’t understand. That looks horrible. You’re going after a Breitbart reporter, the people who are nicest to you?"

Terris: “I know, I’m going to put it in my story."

The two stop talking. Din/noise of people talking, glasses clinking continue through end of the recording.

This post has been updated to include the audio and to clean up the transcript.
