Report: Secret Service Says Michelle Fields Touched Trump Before Lewandowski Intervened

Breitbart ^ | 3/29/16 | Jabin Botsford

Donald Trump asks on his Twitter account whether he can “press charges” against Michelle Fields, as David Martosko of the Daily Mail prints purported quotes from an anonymous Secret Service agent in Trump’s security detail — claiming Fields was warned she was too close to the billionaire presidential candidate. From the Daily Mail: Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged with simple battery for allegedly grabbing a reporter, in a case that may hinge on a Secret Service claim that the journalist first made unwanted physical contact with the billionaire-turned-politician. ‘Victory press conference was over. Why is she allowed to grab me and shout questions? Can I press charges?’ Trump tweeted this afternoon. Victory press conference was over. Why is she allowed to grab me and shout questions? Can I press charges? pic.twitter.com/qbW2RjkINX — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 29, 2016

Oops... most of them would not hire someone who assaults women half his size. Very bad for business. I can’t believe his boss actually said “Can I press charges” because she brushed up against his elbow.

Wow. He "grabs" her arm and pushes her away from Trump and to you that's an assault that ought to ruin his life. She reaches out and touches a presidential candidate who has been threatened numerous times and he points out the hypocrisy of that and you mock him for being wimpy about nothing.

Newsflash: neither one of those two incidents are anything at all. If you look at them and act like one was some sort of violation of the Geneva convention than you are not being objective.

Battery; simple battery.— (1)(a) The offense of battery occurs when a person: 1. Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other; or 2. Intentionally causes bodily harm to another person. The charge itself does not include an Intentional action. So the charge is Intentional touching against her will but without the intention to harm @law_newz Most likely scenario is State Attorney reviews case and dismisses it prior to arraignment.

what like people can touch Presidential candidates, guess anyone can go and touch and run up to Kasich and cruz now

[manc]

weird that losing Hispanics, blacks, Jews, women and yet he is wining against Cruz and Kasich.

weird that must mean the other two are doing worse, guess I should got for the one who is winning.

Also as I stated above, the ‘bruising’ is on her lower forearm whereas the video shows if he grabbed her it was on her UPPER ARM.

Your sarc comment is why this site is starting to look like DU and why people like you are embarrassing themselves. Grow up.

if this had happened to the other two establishment candidates then you would be singing a different tune.

[manc]

Tell me cruz ever said that please, even for him that is low.

[connyankee]

I just emailed Trump to ask why he doesn’t sue her for just this reason. This nut job douche bag gives women a bad name.
Trump and his campaign does not deserve this nonsense and frankly.....neither do we. Ultimately it is we taxpayers who end up paying for this crap. Kick her to the curb.

[HLPhat]

That’s a completely different angle with better detail than the video attributed to the Jupiter police:

Are there more frames?

>>This is a dumb story that could have evaporated

Yep. It was the lying that destroyed Nixon’s presidency too.

Nobody is smart enough to lie forever - but that hasn’t stopped the culture of pathological dishonesty from eating American society alive like a cancer.

[Real Cynic No More]

You miss the point. She presses charges against the candidate’s aide for reacting to her doing the exact thing she accused him of doing, and you criticize Trump for explaining how ludicrous it is? It’s obvious you have no bias.

[odawg]

I had just heard it on cable news — CNN I believe.

“It’s a very sad development,” Cruz told reporters outside a restaurant here. “This the consequence of the culture of the Trump campaign. The abusive culture. When you have a campaign that is built on personal insults, on attacks, and now physical violence. That has no place in a political campaign.”

[JBW1949]

Exactly...This is all a setup....

[No Socialist]

My question is why didn’t the Secret Service intervene?

[manc]

WOW JUST WOW. He said that and the man shows why he is so whacked out

He is still talking about Trump

[dforest]

Ted has made it impossible to ever get Trump voter support. He surely must know that.

The GOPe must have promised him something else because he would lose big in the general.

[DouglasKC]

He won’t be called as any witness. In fact, Trump was quoted when this happened as saying that the secret service saw nothing. He never mention being touched until they brought charges against Corey today. Face it, he is a liar, and not even a very good one.,

Are you mental?? The chick claims that Lewandski nearly threw her down on the ground...3 days after it happened. Looking at the video it's a big NOTHING. Of course Trump or Lewandowski didn't remember and denied it. NOTHING happened like she claimed it happened. They must go through dozens of crowds a day JUST like this. How are they supposed to remember every single NOTHING that happens?

I can't even believe that that you're even serious about how you're spinning this. SMH....

Are you mental?

Nice, I can tell you are a Trump supporter. I have no desire to respond to you again.

Sorry...I meant no harm. I'm just amazed that any rational person could come to the conclusion that you did.
