I can’t see any conclusive way to determine that the bruising shown in the photos was inflicted by Mr. Lewandowski...
We have video of the incident from almost every possible angle, and none of it points to a criminal act...While contact was made, since when is touching someone on the arm a crime? My view is that of a member of Mr. Trump’s entourage doing his job and screening for his boss from overly enthusiastic media hacks...
We have only Ms. Field’s word to rely on...In other words, not much evidence of wrongdoing...Just an elaborate “Gotcha!” game with eager help from the lamestream...
Thinking on this for a bit, it seems to be an attempt to assert effective “protected and special” status for certain groups. Reporters and women (especially anti-conservative) women are included. Women have always had a somewhat protected status, but as they gained majority power in the U.S., that power has been used to give them superior status over men. Similarily, members of the media have protected status above most other members of society.
A non-media man would never get away with such claims (unless he proved to be an especially useful tool against conservatives, such as an Anti-Trump or Anti-Cruz demonstrator).
The cries for special status here seem to be: How dare you touch a woman and a reporter! Don’t you know better than to touch your social superiors!
