Yes, but you forgot to mention that Corey Lewandowski has unusually long arms:

According to that if it was Lewandowski he would have pulled Fields into Trump and not away and “almost” to the ground. Third lies a charm for this bimbo.
Lying Cruz couldn’t wait to jump on this like he did in cooling first amendment rights of course. LYING TED WRONG AGAIN.
Damn, we have to day that a couple of times a day now for this filthy traitorous back stabbing snake in the grass.

Did anyone else see Megyn Kelly’s PATHETIC interview with Michelle Fields? (I only watched it because I wanted to find out what this was all about) I thought I was gonna PUKE! It made me physically ill to watch Dyke head ACT soooo concerned. The FAKE outrage was palpable. It makes me think of Colonel Kurtz saying “the horror” only with Megyn it’s “the drama”.

Michelle Fields saying that it was the worst thing that ever happened to her, voice starts to quake, and tears begin to form, “the drama”!

Is this Faux News or a soap opera?

Megyn claims that the new video and audio verifies Michelle’s claims. NONSENSE! The video showed NOTHING, new or otherwise. People were blocking the view. The audio verifies that she didn’t know who did it. “Was that Correy?” ???????????

I will cut Michelle some slack as I think she’s hot! Also she did not see who grabbed her, evidenced on the audio tape. She just takes the word of a coworker.

Someone PLEASE show this picture to Megyn Dykehead Kelly.
Does she look hideous now or what? The hair, the makeup, the false, half, eyelashes.... UGH!

No matter what she thought, it was a complete amateur move. When Pavlich and the rest of junior league writers club joined in she thought she could soak this. She does have book coming out BTW.

The attempt today changed the whole dialog and they know it. I expect they’ll hope it all goes away when everyone focuses on Tuesday.

It doesn't matter to me what Trump's campaign manager did in the heat of a moment, that will be settled in court. What should bother everyone on a site called "Free Republic" is the way Trump has defamed a Breitbart reporter, other Republican candidates (most notably Ben Carson), and anyone else who dares to oppose him. In addition to be a world class carnival barker, Trump is a world class thug!

Now there is video showing the encounter

It looks like lewandiwski brushed her arm away from trump as he, trump and the SS agent passed her

However the video shows a benign and rather minor case of 3 men moving through a crowd , and clearing trump’s path not an assault ... If she was attaching herself to trump at that point he was already past her

Fields never loses her balance or shows any distress except not getting trump to stop for her question ... How dare he

What a special special snowflake, Waaa.
Let a prosecutor review this and bring. It. On.

Really. Damn people are lazy.

Breitbart has adjusted a report which originally suggested video evidence showed that Washington Post reporter Ben Terris misidentified the man who grabbed at Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields following a Tuesday night press conference with Donald Trump.
The new version of the report includes new video that appears to show Lewandowski reaching for Fields. Both Fields and Terris have said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski aggressively yanked Fields out of the way on Tuesday night after Fields tried to ask a question. Though the conservative,

Run on sentence from hell


and often pro-Trump site, noted in its first report that "the altercation itself is not shown" and that "Fields quickly disappears from view, as if pulled back," the site suggested that a security official who resembles campaign manager Corey Lewandowski may have been the one who pulled Fields away. "Given the similarity in appearance between Lewandowski and the security official, and given the fact that Lewandowski was walking on the other side of Trump from where Fields was at the time, the possibility of mistaken identity cannot be ruled out.


Indeed, given Lewandowski’s adamant denials (coupled with statements inappropriately impugning Fields’s character), it is the likeliest explanation," the original Breitbart piece notes.

Your picture and analysis is simply not supported by this video from C-span:

The video in this thread must be seen. Best camera angle yet to debunk her claim of nearly having been thrown to the ground. Corey Lewandowski just brushes past her in the crowd. At worst, it might be described as brusquely brushes past.

The woman has an agenda and is lying, based on this video.

I can’t make out anything from that video. Could you explain what you perceived?

I ‘perceived’ that Lewandowski is much closer to Fields than is indicated in the photograph that is shown and commented about in Post 2.

Thanks for that picture.

It clears up everything.

I was not being sarcastic when I said "perceived". There are things that get distorted even in a photograph, such as depth of field, making persons seem closer than they are in fact. You may have noticed this phenomenon when watching sports games, where the audience members' heads in the back rows are measurably larger than those of the people in the front rows, because of the curve of the lens.

I didn't develop the annotated photo that I posted. I did spend 35 years in publishing dealing with photographic issues and I've passed the annotated photo along here on FR for grassroots evaluation; however, even with that, I'm not a forensic photographic examiner. Are you?

No, I am not a forensic photographic examiner. However, I am an engineer who has spent a 50 year (as of this month) career analyzing objective data. On occasion this has included photographic data. I am quite aware of the distortion a planar view of a scene (particularly if taken with a telephoto lens) can instill. My whole purpose of linking the video was to show that the video, which added some 3-D perspective, altered the perceived distances that were annotated on the photograph.

Here's some more material. The one with the audo recording is tedious, but pretty clearly rules out any "being thrown to the ground" -- not even an "ouch" can be heard:
