WOW! What the hell, Michelle? Breitbart reporter caught fabricating story about Donald Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski.
Michelle Fields made headlines when she said Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground at the Jupiter, Florida victory speech on Tuesday night.
The Gateway Pundits Kristinn Taylor was in the room at the time and did not see the incident in question. He was the last reporter to film Corey closing up the event with reporters.

Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields filed criminal assault charges with Jupiter, Florida police against Donald Trumps campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on Friday several days after the incident. Fields claims she suffered a slight bruise when Lewandowski intentionally assaulted her.
Video released on Friday shows a fragmented version of Lewandowski walking past Fields. (Lewandowski is in the blue shirt. Fields is in the white suit.)

On Saturday a new video was released. It clearly shows Lewandowski trying to get Trump out of the room after ending the presser. Reporters are swarming Trump including Michelle Fields. Secret Service is also around Trump.
The video shows Lewandowski walking past Fields. No contact was made. He didnt even bump into her.

Not based on anything from Jim Hoft.

No, and the litigation will be quietly dropped in the pre-trial stage.
Ben Terris: "Yea he just threw you down."
I recall seeing this reported in print right after the alleged incident.
Fields said she was pulled but never went down, and did not see who pulled her.
Neither appears to be much of a witness for the litigation. Breitbart has presented a bunch of video and photo angles and none clearly depicts Lewandowski grabbing her or Fields going down.
It appears Trump is walking and Lewandowski and a security guy are following Trump. And it appears Fields tried to leave the sidelines and jump in behind Trump and in front of Lewandowski and the security guy. It is not clear that anyone grabbed her. It appears clear that nobody threw her down, and that she did not go down. She does not even appear to be knocked off balance, which is pretty good if she were wearing high heels.

C'mon. You know the drill. If it concerns a bad ol' conservative, the walk back or retraction never gets near the play that the original charges do.
That's just the way the game is played.
Folks been watching this kind of action for years, and there is a lot of pent up resentment over it. Hence the attraction of "anti-establishment" candidates - the Donald in particular - that tell the media to take a flyin' ---- at a rolling donut.

That is a good one. You have lost credibility. I don't even know who Jim Hoft is. But he is telling the truth. Here is another clue.
Obviously Jim Hoft is more reliable then tooconservative.

Breitbart was a big early Trump backer, long before the other Right outlets. So the reporter wasn't going to be welcome to report this. She knew her career could go nowhere with Breitbart after this incident.

Has Trump, since that apparently is your measure of a person?
I bet both of these reporters have done more actual work in their lives than Trump has.

If that was Corey Lewandowski who passed in front of her, she was looking at his face from 18 inches away. What does she mean she didn't know who did it?

Whatever, she wasn't "thrown to the ground". More like 'get the f**k out of the way' brush-aside.
Good luck with an assault charge.

I believe that's a generic, all-inclusive entry. Nowhere is the word "and".

I won't dignify this controversy further than to say that both of these reporters are demonstrably false and dishonest actors.

She was small potatoes but Shapiro is an up-and-coming talk show guy. You may recall he took on that tranny over the Caitlyn nonsense.
Breitbart lost a senior editor, then Shapiro and this woman, and now two more top-level staffers. They all complain that Breitbart has become a campaign arm of the Trump campaign. I've remarked on this change at Breitbart months back. It was pretty obvious that the top dog(s) had committed to Trump long before any votes were counted. Which means they're just whoring out Breitbart's legacy to pander to a liberal NYCer to grab the GOP nomination. I assume some cash changed hands many months back.

They are assholes.
They are just mad because Trump doesn't support their new world order trade agenda. That is the big divide.
I mean these assholes supported Romney and McCain. You can't say they are more conservative then Trump. Not without lying.
They got busted lying and got to resign instead of being fired.
Shapiro will always be remembered as an asshole.

You're full of shit. None of us know who Brietbart would support.
I know you think much of yourself but you are not being honest here. You know it. You are just a sore loser.
What positions make Trump a liberal?
Is it opposition to NAFTA or the wall or what?

If she is small potatoes, Shapiro is McChicken off the dollar menu. Neither one is exactly an a-lister.

Whatever they are or were, they've amply demonstrated that they are LIARS & I doubt that they have anything of interest to impart to me as journalists or anything else.
