“Why does she have “fingerprint” bruises on TOP of her forearm.
If Lewandowski grabbed her, the bruises would appear on the BOTTOM of the forearm, not the top.”
Bingo! I have thought that all along. About the only way she could have bruises as depicted is if her arm was flexed at the elbow, so that her hand was up like in a defensive posture, which the video does not show.
But, maybe Lewandowski is a contortionist. That would make her story plausible.
My theory on this whole kerfluffle is that since she has a book coming out next month, which hardly anyone would buy, this was a golden opportunity to get publicity.
As some Hollywood wag once said: “There is no such thing as bad publicity.”
If he grabbed her arm with his palm down, I'd agree.
Someone who is camera conscious would use a weaker appearing grip with the palm up. That grip could well induce bruises that appear like those on her arm without seeming as aggressive. The orientation of the hand and force exerted by the grip is the key to the bruises.
