Since it continues to be repeated as if it were a foregone conclusion that Lewandowski is guilty, I thought this clarification put out last night by Breitbart itself should be on the record, and it did not come up in search

This picture says it all!
Trump’s manager could not have done it!

The picture was taken right before the Ninja Move. Back flip over Trump, landing between him and the poor Victim.
Unfortunately from the Photo, you can’t see the Eyes in the back of the Head of Trump’s Campaign Manager.

She's in with others on this claim. Timing is too coincidental
She listed Fists and Teeth as the weapons used against her - and there were 100 cameras there.

Donald’s not looking her way so she didn’t identify herself and he’s almost past her. Did she put her hand out and try to touch Donald to stop him? She perhaps moved into Donald’s space and was pushed back as she should have been.

Mr. Breitbart is turning over in his grave.
To: Albion Wilde
Just because she’s a female and a journalist does not give her the right to touch someone. Looking at the photo, she would have had to pull back Trump’s arm in order for him to pay attention to her. She’s wearing long thick sleeves. How could a hand print cause bruising through that and last 24 hours?
The hair on the USSS is much darker and thicker on the sides than the manager’s. No way there could be an identity mistake. She wishes the manager had touched her.
To: NIKK
We are through the looking glass here, a presidential candidate is walking with his security detail in a crowd and a reporter reaches out in front of him. Even IF someone grabs her arm out of the way this is hardly a case of assault. Any professional journalist would proudly show off the bruise, tell the story, and move on.

Yup, I’m sick of this sort of nonsense.... everyone with a brain knows this is crap... bruised arm my ass... she needs to pull up a pair of big girl panties and drop the pacifier.
I think the SS is going to be far less lenient from here forward.
The tard who tried to reach Trump at the rally has them all juiced up.
The next fool to try such a stunt may face severe repercussions from Trump’s Secret Service detail.

I think it was Ben Terris, who is located beneath the grassy knoll haircut that was the minor bruising culprit and is making a patsy out of the crew cutted man. If we could just slow down the video footage frame-by-frame we might get to the bottom of this.
To: bigbob
Yes, SS agent must have done it, and with good reason. I see her hand headed toward Trump with something in her hand (knife?). I can see where a split second decision by a SS agent (safe not sorry) could have mistaken her for a threat.

Is that the magic bullet from the JFK assassination she's holding? No wonder a man standing six (6) feet away and is only 5'-10" can grab her arm. Which by the way is partly in front of Mr. Trump.

Proof Lewandowski did not grab Fields: This frame capture, from CSpan's video, shows a hand grab on Fields' forearm by someone that is from someone behind Lewandowski. In this pic you can clearly see the hand grab where the purported bruises were said. This is the point where the hand grab is revealed in the video. However, Breitbart is using pictures that were after this point where Lewandowski is leaning in the direction of Fields. Breitbart has this original Cspan video in their story. They should have looked carefully at this Cspan video they referenced since it exonerates Lewandowski (IMHO). By Breitbart using the later part of the procession, in video, AFTER this hand grab can be strongly construed as misleading. IT should be noted that the hand grab (to Fields' forearm), by the person behind Lewandowski (likely security person), and release was very quick. Fields did not jerk and did not change her posture from this momentary quick grab. This incident happened exactly at the time Fields walked up to Trump, got close to him AND touched Trump with her left arm, while holding a silver smartphone type of device in her right hand moving it toward Trump. It was her left arm that was momentarily grabbed (to pull it away from her touching Trump). You can see the focused look from the security guard as he saw her moving towards Trump. He put on the gas to close the gap. Lewandowski noticed this reaction from the security guard. That is when Lewandowski put his arm out to try to shield Fields from Trump. However, the hand grab to Fields' forearm (in the video clip) could not have been done by Lewandowski.

” Any professional journalist would proudly show off the bruise, “
A professional would know better than to approach and try and make physical contact.

Imagine for a moment if anyone tried to grab Hilary and their arm gets pulled away. Big deal not.

I got nothing from that mish mash. Nothing. It looks like nothing.
If *this* malted version is all they have, any assault case is dead, for sure, as serving up an indecipherable video isn’t going to cut it.
Thrown out on arrival.

To: moehoward
And we get back to the SS question that can she charged with a crime? Is this why they are backing off? Seems that some high powered lawyers have read them the riot act. I have wondered also, who does she think she is that she had the right to be in the personal space of a presidential candidate?
