In other words, Kurt Bardella falsely and improperly accused Donald Trumps compaign manager of assaulting one of his reporters without properly investigating and verifying the truth of those claims - major breach of journalism procedures and ethics

In the process, he discredited the reliability and integrity of Breitbart as a responsible news agency, did serious damage to the Donald Trump campaign and most importantly, he publicly slandered Donald Trump's campaign manager.

Bardella is now trying to quit on his terms before Breitbart News is forced to publicly fire him.

Donald Trump may qualify as public figure which bars him from pursuing Bardella for slander, but Corey Lewandowski, Trumps’s campaign manager is not a public figure - he is a paid professional campaign manager and this case slander laws apply and Barbell's slander of him is subject to legal action and a strong case can be made that Corey Lewandowski’s career has been damaged and his earning potential ruined.

The fact that Corey Lewandowski has been slandered is beyond dispute so Bardella has opened himself and his employer to serious liability if Corey Lewandowski chooses to pursue a sander case in the courts.

Sometimes quitting is the stupid move. If he spoke falsehood on behalf of his employer, and that spox was in the scope of his employment, then the employer is responsible to pay his legal defense and any damages. Any personal liability has to be paid by the employer.

If he quits, he has to hire his own lawyer, etc. Probably gets out of any damage awarded, that being assignable to Breitbart, not him personally.

If Lewandowski decides to sue (doubtful), he's better off suing Breitbart than Bardella. Breitbart has more money.

That's what it looks like. Breitbart has a big problem here, and this reporterette looks to be a real kook ...

We’re Calling Bullsh!t On Michelle Fields

... That story is from a Cruzer who knows this Fields character, has personal first hand knowledge and history with her, mentions Allen West ( wtf! ), Daily Caller, her boyfriend, and provides lots of detailed background about her.

She is a certified Cruz supporter employed by a certified pro-Cruz billionaire fatcat Mercer-owned Breitbart. Her boyfriend is a anti-Trump pro-Rubio exec at the Daily Caller where she got fired from. In fact she may be an anti-Trump Hispanic racist agitator as she describes her lineage as Honduran in posts and tweets that have been unearthed.

Lots of derangement from cult Cruz.
