Trump is Right, He Could Seek to Have Michelle Fields Prosecuted
Law Newz ^ | March 30, 2016 | Chris White

Posted on 03/31/2016 5:38:53 AM PDT by McGruff

GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump caused another media frenzy over comments he made during a series of interviews in the aftermath of news that his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, had been charged with simple battery. The charge stems from an incident where Lewandowski allegedly grabbed the arm of former Breitbart News reporter Michelle Fields after a press conference in early March.

During interviews Tuesday night and Wednesday with almost all of the major news outlets, Trump defended Lewandowski’s actions and he dismissed the incident as “very minor,” telling reporters “practically nothing happened” and that he didn’t believe police should’ve brought charges in the case. But what really seemed to set people off is when Trump went a step further and suggested that he might press for charges himself over what happened.

“I’m sure there will be a counter-claim coming down the line,” Trump said in an interview Wednesday morning on Good Morning America. “Should I file charges against her because she touched my arm as well?”

Oh can’t deal with the facts, so you go straight for the smear.

How Trumpish of you. Did you learn that from you Friend Davey Pecker over at N.E.

You twit, I don’t work for anyone in the media.

How about back to the the facts again? Or are you gonna ping a friend or just cry? Hey maybe you could phone a lawyer. Bwahahaha

Right, like any law enforcement agency is going to prosecute a female reporter for having the temerity to be in proximity to Trump and ask him a mean question. Not only is that not going to happen, but it would be completely counterproductive.

If Trump loses Wisconsin he probably should have her charged. Since he won’t be able to win the nomination it would be nice to repay the favor to this “reporter”.

Sometimes threatening to counter sue is all,it takes Why waste ammo on a firefight if a shot over the bow makes the point?

If you keep on threatening and you don't follow through, your threats lose their force. In Trump's case, he threatened to sue Cruz over his NBC status, Cruz said bring it on, and he'll personally do the deposition. Then ... nothing.

I think Trump/Lewandoski are right in this case, so bring it on!

I’m still waiting for the blowhard to file a defamation suit against Cruz, for accusing him of planting the Enquirer smear. Cruz didn’t use weasel words such as “may have”, we heard”, “there were rumors” like Rump’s best buddy Pecker. He stated it as fact that Rump was behind the Enquirer smear. And since Rumpy the Blowhard sues or threatens to sue at the drop of a hat, that hard fact that he did not proves he is guilty as hell and fears discovery.

Of course he is, but it's a game he plays because he knows the base of his support are low income, low educated but Proud American people frustrated as hell but that don't have the intelligence to investigate or comprehend the B.S. he is playing on them.

Those that do, he threatens to sue.

“If Trump loses Wisconsin he probably should have her charged.”

And do you think “charging” a female reporter for being in proximity to him would actually help his cause? I just don’t understand how Trump people think. That would be the worst thing he could do.

Trump might have an even stronger case since he’d just held, then ended a press conference and Fields chose to pursue him anyway trying to ask additional questions. She was clearly ignoring his wishes at the time to pursue her personal agenda.

But calling any of this assault of any variety seems over-the-top.

I hope Trump loses Wisconsin he probably should have her charged

I hope he does make that attempt by filing a complaint against her and then runs his mouth about it at one of his rallies saying she deserves it for filing a complaint against his thug, to get his low IQ supporters all lathered up.

Then when the RAT Prosecutor in Floridah issues a warrant for Donnie's arrest for Witness Intimidation he can deal with the fall out of that.

Imagine the Ads the Clinton Camp with run with that... The Really STUPID part of this whole this is when the original publicilty of this hit the air had the trump camp called the reporter and apologized saying it was a mix up, etc. the whole thing would have been a non issue.

Instead Corey Tweeted a Bald Faced Lies and smeared the female Reporter, then when Trump was asked about it that night or the next day he accused her of making it all up.

That is what happens when you think like a sniveling, whining 4 year old instead of a Well balanced Adult.

Donald Trump has been involved in 100s if not 1000s of lawsuits in the course of his professional career. Of course he hasn’t won every single time.

The fact you feel compelled to go back to the 1980s to come up with some negative examples to support your bullsh!t as is telling as the way you misrepresent the important facts of those cases.

-btw even the liberal media whose toilet you drink from cannot substantiate a $1,000,000 fine.

How Trumpish of you

Seriously, where are you on the Asperger's scale. You and your band of damaged Cruzberger cohorts are relentless to the point of mania. Do you ever think that the TV is talking to you and telling you to do bad things?

Fair enough. I was thinking in the context of the campaign. He also had an excellent violation of contract case versus something like going to court over the delegate count in Louisiana.

If the election were held today, who would be your first choice for President of the United States?

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

Thinking, or the lack thereof, like this, by people like you and by Cruz, is the reason that Ted Cruz will never be a nominee of anyone or anything, and he will in fact, join Marco as a one term footnote in history.

Univision attempted to insert themselves into the campaign. They tried to take Trump down just after he announced his presidential run. Next, Univision anchor Jorge Ramos behaved like a rabid poodle at an early press availability and Trump sternly scolded him to “Sit down, sit down!”

Trump should take a picture of a severely bruised arm. I wonder if people will automatically believe the picture is true like they believe the one Fields made?
