‘Can I Press Charges?’ Report: Secret Service Says Michelle Fields Touched Trump Before Lewandowski Intervened " breitbart="Breitbart" by="by" news="News" src="http://media.breitbart.com/media/2016/03/Trump-presser-Jabin-Botsford-Washington-Post-Getty-640x480.jpg" /> 29 Mar 2016 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.

(d) Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs, resists, or interferes with a Federal law enforcement agent engaged in the performance of the protective functions authorized by this section or by section 1752 of this title shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

This is the thing with Trump - he ALWAYS hits back. Some reporterette has decided to try to raise a scandal with a bogus "I was ASSAULTED!" charge, and Trump himself rounds on her and goes after her for the same thing. He has much deeper pockets and can hound her legally, both criminally and civilly, until she retreats, defeated. Good. This sort of politically-motivated bullshit should be hit hard. If you're going to wield law, you should get hit back with law.
Actually, he can round on her and bring a much more serious Federal charge as he was the subject of a secret service protective detail. Donald does not take any crap. He is signalling loud and clear to Fields to back off. If she chooses to continue, she faces the much greater problem, similar to Tommy DiMassimo. [Excerpts] [...] 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. [...] Jupiter Police released surveillance footage on Tuesday giving the public an eagle-eye view of the incident where the grab at Fields is clear. But speaking on condition of anonymity, a member of Trump’s Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields touched Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski pulled her away. 'She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,' said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter. The aerial footage from inside the country club ballroom, which is a series of still photographs taken at steady intervals, doesn't capture Fields making contact with Trump. But it shows him apparently pulling his arm away from her. 'We supplied those tapes and those tapes to me are very conclusive,' Trump told journalists this afternoon. [...]
Had the secret service done their job correctly she would have been stopped before she even got close and we would know what that thing in her had is.
