Charges dropped against Trumps campaign manager

Getting between a secret service agent and Trump in that instance was out of line, on Fields' part. She was wrong. That's all the jury would need to hear. That's why it was doomed from the start.

The Secret Service did nothing, because she was not a threat. She had a tiny bomb concealed in her pen, lol?

The video showed that Lewandowski grabbed Fields by the arm. She also had the bruises to prove it. According to Findlaw that's a battery. It was just her bad luck that CL had a lot of money on his side.

Are you claiming he bought off the prosecutor?

The prosecutor's point was, that this is technically a battery, but that no jury would find this is a battery as most people think of a battery as doing great harm, not grabbing someone by the arm. In other words, had he grabbed her, threw her to the ground and started beating on her, he would prosecute. Basically, if this was between two people who not not in the news, no one would be charged.

OK, this thread now belongs in the CONSPIRIACY forum; because Christie has gone off the deep end. :D

A conservative republican Breitbart reporter's case was shot down in court, and conservatives rejoice?

Lol

We say, "No surprise here..." you say, "Rejoice"...

I don't think that word means what you think it means. We have very different definitions of the word "rejoice".

I think it means to show gladness. USFREEDOM sure seems to be "showing gladness" that a Breitbart reporter lost an assault case ' Had it been against a Democrat I wonder how much gladness would be expressed.

Did he show gladness? Or is this more of your running around telling people what they think and that they are racist?

If this was not a publicized political event, you wouldn't care one bit. And if it was a democrat, you would be cheering and making fun of republicans, right?
 
I think Piers Morgan has got it right on this subject, it seems to me to be a classic attempt at a gotcha. If she is really that wimpy then maybe journalism is not for her!

Part of Lewandowski’s job is to protect Trump from nosey journalists, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. Fields, let me also be very clear, was also doing her job and if I were her editor, I’d congratulate her on getting so close to her prey, especially as repeatedly touching a presidential front-runner in public when he’s surrounded by Secret Service agents is a very risky thing to do. But my fulsome praise would very rapidly be replaced by utter incredulity if she then informed me she was going to press charges against Lewandowski for battery. Particularly given that battery, according to the law, means ‘intentionally touching someone without that person’s will’ – the very same thing we now know Fields did to Trump.

This doesn’t mean I take violence against women lightly. But there has to be some kind of harmful intent surely? Lewandowski wasn’t trying to hurt Michelle Fields, he was trying to stop her getting to Donald Trump. If one of the Secret Service agents had done it, as they had every right to do given her behaviour, they’d have been applauded for doing their job. Like every journalist I know, I’ve spent much of my career being pushed, shoved, elbowed and barged in crowded places when trying to get near famous people. It goes with the territory.

Just as for that special breed of journalists who work in war zones, daily life can include dodging bullets, bombs and grenades. Some of the toughest journalists in America are women. Would Barbara Walters, Katie Couric or Diane Sawyer have pressed charges if they’d been in Ms Fields’ position? Of course they wouldn’t. They’d have all brushed off Lewandowski’s obstruction and chased back after Trump to try and fire more questions at him. That’s what real reporters do. They don’t take no for an answer.

Like I said, journalism’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.

There you go projecting again.
What I'm showing is the fact that I, among others, were correct from the beginning and liberals were wrong, again.
