In other words, Kurt Bardella falsely and improperly accused Donald Trumps compaign manager of assaulting one of his reporters without properly investigating and verifying the truth of those claims - major breach of journalism procedures and ethics

In the process, he discredited the reliability and integrity of Breitbart as a responsible news agency, did serious damage to the Donald Trump campaign and most importantly, he publicly slandered Donald Trump's campaign manager.

Bardella is now trying to quit on his terms before Breitbart News is forced to publicly fire him.

Donald Trump may qualify as public figure which bars him from pursuing Bardella for slander, but Corey Lewandowski, Trumps’s campaign manager is not a public figure - he is a paid professional campaign manager and this case slander laws apply and Barbell's slander of him is subject to legal action and a strong case can be made that Corey Lewandowski’s career has been damaged and his earning potential ruined.

The fact that Corey Lewandowski has been slandered is beyond dispute so Bardella has opened himself and his employer to serious liability if Corey Lewandowski chooses to pursue a sander case in the courts.

Trump is going to need a huge security force at his events going forward. They are being infiltrated by hard core leftists who are there for no reason other than to incite violence.

Round em up and throw em out. Rawhide.

So he’s calling Trump’s rally attendees browshirt thugs and he doesn’t want to indirectly condone that via his employer? Can’t whoever manhandled her just admit it and put this to bed?

Do you know how to post a jpg or other type of pic file here?

This Cspan pic I marked up is very revealing. I’m surprised that Breitbart or others haven’t figured this out yet.

Breitbart has gone off the deep end. Sad to see.

Yeah, that would be something if Trump supporters did him in. But Cruz is doing himself in with no help from his supporters.

I have never once seen a popular politician, rock star, or whatever pass through a crows without security have to push people out of the way to help who they are guarding be able to work their way through the crowd.

This is complete bs.

My fantasy for Chicago rally tonite is Iron Mike Ditka comes out on stage for Trump. Holding a Bears helmet. I know dream time.

A former Darrell Issa spokesman probably thinks Brownies selling Girl Scout cookies at the supermarket are too aggressive:”Hi mister, you wanna ...”

Trump to hire BLM thugs to police rallies. That would stop all the criticism. /s

in most cases things are a vast exaggeration of the truth.

Sometimes quitting is the stupid move. If he spoke falsehood on behalf of his employer, and that spox was in the scope of his employment, then the employer is responsible to pay his legal defense and any damages. Any personal liability has to be paid by the employer.

If he quits, he has to hire his own lawyer, etc. Probably gets out of any damage awarded, that being assignable to Breitbart, not him personally.

If Lewandowski decides to sue (doubtful), he's better off suing Breitbart than Bardella. Breitbart has more money.

If it is indeed the secret service agent, I don’t know that they are allowed to. It’s their job, after all.
