Your time frame is off.
March 8 is when the incident happened.
March 10 is when the article was posted claiming Fields account, of a near violent incident.
March 10 Lewandowski refutes her claim calling her what he did.
March 11 she files the report.
What you are calling a smear, is in direct response to a smear by Terris and Fields.
Fields threw the accusation first, through Terris’ post.
Basically, Lewandowski said that the encounter didn’t happen and that she was making it up.
WHY??? Because it DIDN’T happen... the way Fields or Terris’ reported it. So of course Lewandowski doesn’t remember it.
If someone makes a claim that sensational about you and you don’t remember anything of the sort, of course you’re going to claim they are nuts.
And from everything else out there...she is.
The other major point is that everyone assumes the bruising occurred as a result of this accusation. There is no proof of that. There is also no proof of exactly how Corey touched her if at all. Nowhere on any video do we see his hand on her arm! So the bruising remains to be proven.
