Trump campaign manager will not be prosecuted, sources say
Politico ^

Posted on 04/13/2016 4:29:56 PM PDT by springwater13

A Florida prosecutor has decided not to prosecute Donald Trump’s campaign manager for battery after a March run-in with former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, sources with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.

The decision not to press charges against Corey Lewandowski is scheduled to be announced on Thursday afternoon by Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg.

Fields may still pursue a defamation case against Lewandowski, a source said.

Fields filed a police report last month after Lewandowski grabbed her by the arm and moved her out of Trump’s way following a press conference at Trump National Gold Club in Jupiter. She said he left bruises on her arm. Police later charged Lewandowski with simple battery, releasing video from surveillance cameras that shows Lewandowski reaching for and grabbing Fields.

Aronberg would not comment, but in a POLITICO interview last week, he pointed out that Jupiter police had a low “probable cause” standard to cite Lewandowski for battery. But the responsibility for moving forward with a full-blown prosecution rested with Aronberg’s office, which had to consider whether a crime occurred and whether they believed a jury of Floridians would prosecute.

“We have a higher standard to go forward with a prosecution,” he said.

Justice prevails for a change.

Why doesn't he sue her BACK?

She accused him of a crime that turned out to be contradicted by the evidence. Way I see it, she defamed him.

Any organization that would employ her forfeits any claim to journalistic integrity.

The right outcome in this situation.

And this decision is coming from a Cruz classmate, and a Hillary lover, so I’m sure every angle was analyzed for a way forward to prosecute.

Claiming that Lewandowski is innocent of the charges simply because they decided not to prosecute is like saying an illegal is not an illegal simply because Obama decided not to deport.

Lewandowski should sue the crap out of Fields for defamation.

He has every right to go after her, and should.

But I imagine he’ll let it go, and the now conservative lefties, go into meltdown mode.

btw: Hi.

Oh, I'm sure Trump will be more than happy to loan Lewandowski a few of his $500 an hour Manhattan lawyers to crush Fields like a grape. It will amusing to watch...

Will she be prosecuted for filing a false police report about being knocked down?
