FOX Business Network reported:
On Thursday, Corey Lewandowski, the campaign manager for Donald Trump, was cleared of simple battery charges by Florida prosecutors. Police charged Lewandowski after reporter Michelle Fields, who at the time was with Breitbart News, accused him of grabbing her while she asked Donald Trump a question during an event in early March. Fields resigned her position following the incident.
Lewandowski, speaking to Blake Burman of the FOX Business Network, explained what happened that night in Florida and said he tried to get in touch with Fields.
“I picked up the phone and I called Michelle,” Lewandowski said. “I wanted to find out what happened because I didn’t know what happened because I never heard from her. To this day the campaign’s never heard from her. She never once called and said ‘hey, this took place. I’d like to go and resolve this issue. I don’t want to make this a story.’ None of that ever took place. But because I saw what the Twitter feed was saying, I said ‘jeez, let’s find out what’s going on.’”
The campaign manager said he turned over his phone records to the district attorney’s office in Florida in order to prove he made the calls that evening.
“I never heard back [from Fields],” Lewandowski said. “The [Trump] campaign never heard back. And I think what we could have done, if she didn’t want to become the story here, is have a private conversation saying ‘this is what I think occurred.’”

How very biased of you.
Only a biased person could reach that conclusion especially when Corey tried to reach Fields to find out about what happened. No answer meant nothing happened. No explanations could possibly change your hate filled opinion. Believe what you want you.
Here’s to hoping Fields gets everything that’s coming to her.

Since you're accusing me of this, I will patiently give you some facts.
Hannity interviewed Lewandowski on Thursday, April 14, here:http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2016/04/14/trump-campaign-manager-speaks-out-after-charges-dropped/
In it, Lewandowski states "Well, the thing is, the video came from Mr. Trump". This was the first time I heard that Trump provided this video.
The video has a frame rate of two frames per second, according to its internal time stamp. Interestingly, every forth frame is missing. There are fourteen frames with Trump in them. A clear, slow motion version of the video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgdXFQfKhq0
Field's hands are visible in the frames she is near Trump until Lewandowski grabs her left arm. Trump seems to be signing an autograph. You tell me in which frame she "touched" Trump
Note also, that after Lewandowski jerked Fields back, she hits the guy in the checked shirt, and that guy hits the big guy in the tan coat. The big guy in the tan coat stumbles, and grabs the table to keep from falling over. I would call this quite violent action.
Then, in the interview with Hannity, Lewandowski says: "You know, when I walked by Michelle Fields that night, I said, Excuse me, thank you, because I was trying to walk between her and Mr. Trump". Do you really think he remembers that, but can't remember that he nearly caused three people to stumble and fall?
The prosecutor said that Fields touched Trump’s arm. Im not sure which video they got their info.
Read this entire article including the box in blue halfway down the page. You will see what thd prosecutors said.
In case you cant find it this is what it says
FIELDS V. THE PROSECUTORS: WHAT THEY SAID THURSDAY
Prosecutors said during Thursday’s press conference that Michelle Fields made physical contact with Donald Trump before Corey Lewandowski touched her, but denied it during their conversations with her.
Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg described the incident, saying Fields ‘makes her way beyond the press area and gets right next to Mr. Trump and actually makes slight contact with Mr. Trump.’
Aronberg’s chief assistant prosecutor, Adrienne Ellis, chose more forceful words while narrating video footage: ‘You can see when she gets next to him that she touches him and you can see Mr. Trump recoil his arm like that, and that is the point at which Mr. Lewandowski reaches in.’
Ellis also recalled a conversation with Trump in which ‘he said that she touched him, and all that’s captured on the video surveillance. ... it was quite evident.’
But Ellis said Fields told her that she never made physical contact with Trump.
‘My conversation with her was basically that she, you know, did not touch Mr Trump,’ Ellis said.
A reporter countered: ‘She said that to you?’
‘Yes,’ Ellis replied, ‘that she did not touch Mr. Trump. And that’s not what we see captured on video.’
>>>He is obsessed over a nothingburger, then calls you obsessed when you notice it.<<<
Yeah, you’re right. I just noticed his last response to me.
The leftist also accuses anyone who disagrees with them of hate.
So you think MF was actually almost thrown to the ground? Where on the video would we see that?
Can you show any evidence that Lewandowski remembered the incident, and could thereafter match it to the farcical description supplied by Fields?
Or are you going to play the “reversed burden of proof” fallacy game?
You know - the one that shows you are truly clueless.
From the frame with the time stamp 47.963 to the frame with the time stamp 48.963. Notice that the frame with the time stamp 48.463 is "conveniently" missing.
Lewandowski SAID to Hannity on Hannity's show on Thursday 4/14/16: "You know, when I walked by Michelle Fields that night, I said, Excuse me, thank you, because I was trying to walk between her and Mr. Trump".
That was yesterday. Do you have any evidence that he remembered the incident contemporaneously with the statement you have labeled a lie? For the original statement to be a lie, it must have been known to Lewandowski that it was false at the time of the statement.
Honestly, I do not believe that Trump and his campaign handled this incident well, but I also recognize that it was (and is) a damned-if-you-do-and-damned-if-you-don’t scenario.
Fields very clearly exaggerated heavily (at the best) in her recounting the incident, judging from the actual videos I have seen. Lewandowski may have exaggerated, and may even have lied, but it is not difficult to understand how his response to being accused of all but throwing her to the floor is reasonable.
I hope some day you'll appreciate how foolish that statement really is. You're defending a liar by saying he remembered it yesterday but didn't remember it last week? The verdict guilty would come so fast that you'd be laughed out of the court room.
And you called ME clueless?
Interesting. So, after an extensive, public spectacle of digging into the facts, in which the actual video disproves both his and her statements regarding the incident, where he obviously had numerous discussions over several weeks regarding what happened, you assert that a post-hoc statement shows intentional deception from the start.
Fields accused him of all but throwing her to the floor. From that statement, if it is true that she was not someone he knew by sight, his response becomes much more reasonable. Perhaps exaggerated, but even that is not firmly established given the actual sequence of statements from her and then him.
Unless, of course, you believe him guilty until proven innocent.
You have presented no evidence to support your assertion, FRiend. Have a good day.
Of course I know he's guilty. He's a liar and as guilty as sin, based on my analysis of the video. I'm not a court of law. I can have any opinion I want. You certainly haven't given me any data that changes my opinion.
I did not post the assertion that he lied. Thanks for playing the "reversed burden of proof" game!
