COREY LEWANDOWSKI FACES SIMPLE BATTERY CHARGE FOR ALLEGEDLY GRABBING FEMALE REPORTER
Corey Lewandowski – the campaign manager for GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump – was arrested Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor battery by police in Jupiter, Florida.
Lewandowski, 41, is accused of forcibly grabbing former Brietbart reporter Michelle Fields at press conference held at Trump National Golf Club on March 8. Fields was attempting to ask Trump a question about affirmative action when the incident allegedly took place. A reporter for The Washington Post was present at the time of the alleged battery, and supported Fields’ version of events.
According to Jupiter police, the decision to arrest Lewandowski was made after surveillance video taken from the event reportedly corroborated Fields’ claim.

Fields resigned from Breitbart one week after the incident, arguing that the news outlet did not stand behind her. Several other Breitbart editors joined her in leaving the publication.
Lewandowski is on the record denying the allegations.
“You are totally delusional,” Lewandowski tweeted in response to Fields’ posting images of her injuries on social media. “I never touched you. As a matter of fact, I have never even met you.”
Trump’s campaign doubled down on that denial, issuing a statement in response to the arrest saying that Lewandowski was “absolutely innocent of this charge.”
“He will enter a not guilty plea and looks forward to his day in court,” the statement added. “He is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”

Former Breitbart reporter, key word former. Breitbart has a hard on for Trump so it would be dumb of him to grab onto her if she still worked for them, it would be friendly fire.

She was working for Breitbart at the time of the alleged incident, Chief.
Didn’t see that part when I originally read the above article. She did end up leaving though, not surprisingly due to Breitbart not having the back of their own people.
Fits posts a false headline about Lewandowski being arrested and then Flip can’t read and is confused about facts.
STAFF MEETING ASAP!!! :)))
There are several other news organizations reporting the arrest, so stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. : )
Breitbart is owned by a Cruz supporter.
It would be be dumb. That’s what is so amazing. We were told by Trump that the other candidates and their staff and all of America’s leaders for the last thirty years were dumb, but that Trump was only going to hire the best, smartest people. What went wrong?
His campaign is proving it’s not ready for prime time.
Trump isn’t ready for prime time.
“Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women & children. At least 67 dead,400 injured. I alone can solve”
How is Trump going to stop terrorism in Pakistan? No one is dumb enough to say that but him.
One of his original recruits to handle his campaign has written about him today. She confirmed what I thought about Trump all along. Stephanie Cegielski.
Is that one of the whores Cruz was running around with when they found his wife walking around Dallas deranged?
Nope, Trump hired her a year ago to explore his running and she hung in with him till recently. Just wait, I expect one of Trump’s senior advisors, Dan Scavino, will find himself in a legal battle over his Amanda Carpenter tweets soon.
Good.Trump can pardon everybody when elected.Roger Stone affirmed to RCP that although Trump didn’t put this forward EVERYBODY knows Cruz was womanizing.Reason Cruz won’t sue NE and why Haley didn’t sue Fits.
“Trump can pardon everybody when elected.”
Full pardons for all of Trump’s brown shirts!
A lawsuit is a complex process. It took Hulk Hogan almost four years and he still hasn’t received a penny of his $150 million award. No lawsuit would solve anything before the election. Trump is the one being sued by Trump University students. It is Trump who threatens with suits, but takes no action.
What about Kenny Bingham”s lawsuit against Fitsnews. It has been a year and no action by the courts.
Ask Rocky.
Man it is funny to watch you do damage control for your Hillary-backing goon Trump.
Because as you know, Rocky is extremely intelligent and smart. Good call.
You can look it up online. There has indeed been activity. Looks like, but you can’t read the filings, that Kenny wanted a lot of discovery and Will has been fighting him off.
Yeah, that he doesn’t want the job. Hence, here comes the indy run mid – May, so he can not win, say he was leading a movement, and screw the GOP.
No surprise even he wasn’t expecting to be this successful. Running as independent will still throw the election to Hillary, he’ll get his name in history as Ross Perot 2.0 so that’s enough to make him happy. Hillary will invite him to the house warming party.
Gotta feed the brand baby. I’ve been saying this since last September, once the primary fight got real, he peels off an indy run.
Trump will have 1400 delegates.
Maybe he could, maybe not. But come mid-May, he’s got to decide, can he really get them or not. If he can’t, he knows the GOP will take it from him in Cleveland, so he goes third party. Else he’s gambling on beating Cruz in CA. Big if,
Rocky there are 54 different contests in California and Trump will win 90 percent of em.Just like in New York.Let me do the thinking and provide the facts.
Wow he’s winning in a state that will go blue no matter what. LMAO!!!
My friends in the illegal community will make sure.
lol! Trump will win electoral vote and become president.I hope California delivers the dems a popular vote victory! ha ha ha
Trump will win nomination to hand election to Hillary. Already in the cards: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html
Trump will win the election… for Hillary! LMAO!!!
Well see. Maybe he does, maybe he doesn’t. This won’t help him. Right now Trump and Cruz are tied in CA. So unless Cruz is winning by a landslide in only 5 counties, and Trump leads in all the others, you’re a) full of crap, b) wrong c) math challanged, d) all of the above.

Didn’t see anything in there on CA – but this tidbit – “There’s a catch, though: Significant shares of Republicans in both states, especially women, say they would not vote for Trump if he makes it to the general election.”
Thanks for sharing.
Funny.I doubt the 147 FBI agents investigating the multiple felonies Hillary will go to prison on are talking about Trump today.
Let’s see, charges? Who has charges filed today? Was it Hillary? Nope!!! Loooo–ooooo-zzzzzaaaa!!
Who has an actual court date looming? Not Hillary. Trump? YUP!!!
Trump is really just sad. Did you see his tweet after the Easter bombing? “I alone can solve.” How messed up do you have to be to say that after so many dead and injured in a horrible event, turn it into a selling point for your campaign and have the arrogance to suggest no one else but you can fix it.
Trump supporters are angry at the establishment, so angry they blind themselves to the fakeness of Trump hoping he will be their messiah. There is only one Messiah though.
Trump sells fantasies, he even explains it in his book. Even when exposed as a liar, his believers refuse to give up the Dream. That is why Trump is so dangerous.
Haley is apparently dangerous.See DSS and Syrian refugees.
Your deflection to Haley only confirms that you know I’m right about Trump. Thank you for admitting it.
LMAO!!! Deflect to Haley because you can’t argue against the truth Bible Thumper just laid bare!
Thank God he didn’t hire the dumbest politician in SC-Nikki Haley.
Of course, your comment has nothing to do with the issue. Trump is supposed to be this amazing businessman. Instead he is an amazing huckstrer, that can only be defended by changing the sbject. Don’t you have any other tricts. This is getting old.
He is smart.Look how he sucked Haley into destroying her national political career by sounding like a liberal and supporting Amnesty.Helped him win SC.
I hope you support Trump just as strongly when he pats Hillary on the back a few days after his concession speech. We know why you really support him.
Trump is the only Republican that win the electoral college.Hillary is going to prison.Bernie will be offered a job in Cuba.
Trump will be lucky if he gets 12 electoral votes.
You were 0-16 in congressional/governor elections in 2014.Carry on.
You were 0-Huge in 2012. I will.
Gonna be even more wrong when Hillary takes the White House, but that’s what he wants, that’s why he supports Trump.
He will win the primary at this rate but polls show both Hillary and Bernie rank above him. Check RCP. Your boy intends to lose though. He is in tight with the Clintons. Why do you think they invite him to things? LMAO!!!!
I ran an operation in Milwaukee a few years back, and I can assure you, people in WI don’t believe in hitting women.
The only operation you have ever run is changing the coffee filters at FitsNews.
Cruz and trump split delegates in Wisconsin.Trump is destroying him in New York and other NE states.Game over.
Uh oh, Pogo is screwing up and outing all his alts again! Oh my!
Yeah, we gots Ed, and Trumpism, and BJ Willy and Wife Beater.
Oddly, appears just minutes after a new News post on another site.
Lunchtime.You and Flip go get the taco’s today and tell Fits to change the headline before Donald reads it.:)
Guess he can go by these other headlines that say the guy was arrested too:

Bye Bye Trump GOP – welcome Trump Indy.
Deflection!
pew pew pew
Hey Mama – Happy Easter!!!!
Hey dumbass. I know reading comprehension isn’t a strong point for Trumpsters, but she resigned from Breitbart after she was assaulted.
When I read this at first I didn’t see the part about her resigning after the incident, already cleared it up. She left Breitbart because they wouldn’t back her. Of course they wouldn’t. They are in the tank for Trump. That’s why so many people left WITH her, same reasons given.
Michelle Fields — a liar and of her father,the father of lies, RaphaeLucifer Cruz-Bush.
Loooozzzzaaaaa!!!!!!!!
Well, if he did it he should be promoted to Secret Service. She could have had a poison blow dart under her filthy fingernails.
FitsNews headline is FALSE-he wasn’t arrested.Go figure.
The Trump campaign issued a statement Tuesday calling Lewandowski “absolutely innocent.”
“Mr. Lewandowski was issued a notice to appear and was given a court date. He was not arrested. Mr. Lewandowski is absolutely innocent of this charge,” spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement. “He will enter a plea of not guilty and looks forward to his day in court. He is completely confident that he will be exonerated.”
Too bad, there is a eyewitness.
Right.Too bad for Hillary.Some of em are getting immunity.
Video evidence, eye witnesses, but I am sure if Trump throws his money around to defend him it will all be a wash.
He gave her similar treatment Trump allegedly gave to an ex wife so birds of a feather…
What kinda treatment did Bill give Hillary?
I don’t know, did Hillary open up a court case against Bill?
Wickedpedia lists no mother…

Michelle Fields — a liar and of her mother,the mother of lies, Heidi-Lillith Cruz-Bush.
Yeah, let’s defend the woman beater. Yeah!!!!! You bruise your wife up like that?
She could be a self-bruiser. Take some of these and grazing a daffodil can leave a mark:
http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/medications-that-can-cause-bruises
Really desperate aren’t you? Do you realize why you don’t get laid?
[snip]
That’s gross.
A sexual what?
All the asshole needed to do was apologize and that would have been the end of it. But Noooo, he had to call her delusional and attack her. When it was suggested that if it had really happened she would have contacted the police, she did. And the attorney for CL once bit a stripper, can it get any better? Then I read today that Trump hired a shadowy figure who was an advisor to the ousted Ukrainian President, with a history of political dirty tricks and shady deals. More Trump Thug Patrol hires.
Maybe Trump will pay his legal fees. Seems he likes to defend people who assault his detractors.
Trumpsters hate women and like seeing them roughed up. Explains Will’s full fledged support of the man.
As far as I can tell he ain’t paid one cent for the legal fees for the old fart that sucker punched that dude at the Fayetteville rally even after he had boasted that anyone who caught protesters getting out of hand to assault them and he would pay for their legal fees. All he said on record after the Fayetteville assault was that he was “LOOKING into it” (which is that puke’s standard answer for everything….)
Actions speak louder than words which shows that Trump ain’t nothing but lying cowardly draft avoiding sack of shit
Sparkle – tell us how you really feel.
I would but its only 2 days since Easter and I’m trying to be better behaved……
Screw that, after Lent ends, and if you stayed off the bacon, you’ve got a full free nine months.
You’ve got a point there…………
Though funny, after giving up bacon for lent, I really don’t feel the desire for any.
Bacon is one thing, crunchy Freeto’s are another………..
Yo Mama!
Your are blind or stupid. Maybe both!
That’s not the first time that draft avoiding SOB has been associated with the Russian/former Soviet Union mob….
Their fingerprints are all over some of Trump’s projects.
There’s a reason he hired Polish and Hungarian workers (illegal aliens at that….) for some of his “hotels”……………
Look at the Video or maybe you just have tunnel vision.
An apology is simply an invitation for everyone else to pile on.
I am not a Trump guy. All I see is his arm managing a crowd, like I have seen and had done to me many times. And this is illegal? Unless I am looking at the wrong image I see nothing here other than what happens at football games, concerts, etc.
Apparenlty the cops and DA saw more than you.
I think they watched the video with their eyes open, key difference. : )
You partisans are worthless, braindead mountpeices.. You don’t see it but you convict the man.
Point it out. They say the video was used so please just help me find it.
Hell, after reading the comments I see no one has seen the violation. I suspect the police acted on her complaint, and have decided to let a judge settle it rather than get involved.
no wonder most people hate politics. Braindead partisans have lost their integrity.
You just outed yourself, you are a Trump supporter.
Was a Rubio guy all the way. I ain’t feeding trolls. See ya.
SPIN POGO SPIN!!! Look at him go!!! LMAO!!!
If you posters were interesting there would be more than 10 of you. However, you are mindless twits pumping intellectual waste into the an already jaundiced public conversation where you end up talking to other mindless twits – endlessly.
The dimwitted are always the first to tar and feather someone. They are the first to fail to differentiate truth from fiction and honest mistakes from intentional bad acts.
You are obviously deplorable people and that is why you have all day to barf your low IQ into the comments section.
So troll, kiss my backside and enjoy loserville. You fit in well.
So what are you doing here? Just stumbled upon Fits? Doubtful.
Not sure if you are used to Pogo’s antics, but even if you aren’t, see how easy it is to spot him?
Pogo really is devoted to these personalities even if he sucks at hiding his identity.
“You are obviously deplorable people and that is why you have all day to barf your low IQ into the comments section.”
bless your heart
The police interviewed her, documented her injury, interviewed the Wa Po reporter, listened to the audio recording of the conversation between Fields & reporter and obtained surveillance video tape. They felt that was enough probable cause to arrest him.
I saw her tweet with a picture of the bruise this guy left on her. I saw her grabbed in the video and there’s a pic online of a video still of him grabbing her. Open and shut case unless Trump hires some really expensive lawyers for him.
He is not grabbing her on this video.
I aint feeding the unimportant trolls. See ya
Wait don’t run away Flip.
I see it plain as day, he grabs her, pulls her back, and goes in front. Open your eyes kid.
Pogo you need to try harder next time.
Alex ain’t Pogo, Flip Coscoe, etc. Too cogent.
Good point.
Look at where he grabs her arm. Then go look at the picture she posted of the bruise. Notice any problem there? I did…it appears in the video that he grabs her upper arm. Her picture shows bruise on her lower arm.
He grabs her upper arm with his right arm. He grabs her lower arm with his left arm, precisely where the bruise lines up.
He better hope Trump backs him up with those pricey lawyers.
I only see him grab her with his left hand, on the upper arm, pull her backward and let her go. I never see his right hand touch her at all. I can’t stand trump, but this whole thing is ridiculous.
Did you see more on the video? Or did they act on her complaint.
Look, you are a dem, but I would not want this to happen to a Bernie or Hillary person.
If you see the action please tell me so and help me see it.
End of clip, she’s pulled back with enough force to have her back turned to us, and is suddenly stumbling backwards. Could be he grabbed her tightly to keep her from falling on her butt, but even then, that suggests he grabbed her and physically moved and changed her momentum. Better?
Yep he yanked her back to pull her away from Trump and position himself between the two. Thuggish move. It appears he even left a bruise. Open and shut.
You are this naive? Have you never encountered someone reeling from the invisible shove? I had a guy practically fall into a grave and say I pushed him. Never touched him. He propelled himself. May the deceased rest in peace. PLEASE.
Enabling the women haters club.
He only manages one woman, the rest off the reporters are allowed to go where they want.
Jealous ex lover you think?
Same respect towards women that Trump has, I think.
At least Trump respects Hillary, he is a big fan of the Clintons.
Trump is just a much more skillful and sinister Tom Ervin, who like Tom wants the Democrats to win.
Who is Tom Ervin? Sam Ervin’s son?Julius Ervin’s son?
That guy you were obsessing over in 2014, don’t play dumb Pogo.
Who is Corey the Woman Beater?
Yeah, Yahoo “News” has beein spooging all over itself today about this and what the idiot campaign worker said about Trump “not wanting” to be President, putting their own special slanted spin on it.
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast!
God The Eagles suck.
Wait, that’s an awesome solo.
More importantly – has he had any abortions, and is he a closet lesbian like Hilary C.?
Or, a draft dodger like the Trumpster?
Where have all the modern draft dodgers gone? Oh yeah there is no draft. How about all the men that have never registered for the Selective Service since 1980? Ever been asked that on a job application? Are women required to register? No.. Check your own registration online at the website sss.gov—

xoxox
Several times for Federal positions I’ve had to track down my SelSer number. Now try and do that a few times – like after 20 years you give a shit.
So long Corey, you freaky looking Nazi brown shirt creep. Grab a holt of this (crotch grab gesture.)
Corey was a police officer. He simply pulled her away from the Front Runner. I seem to recall Huma doing the same thing when a party operative got too close to Potty Mouth
Lying must be a requirement to be a Trump talking head. Just listened to Ann Coulter lie her ass off about what happened the night of the Fields incident. Even after a reporter who was there gave the real account. Never witnessed some much lying from any campaign, especially when the facts prove otherwise. Trump will say on live TV the moon is made of cheese one minute and then 2 minutes later claim I never said that.
That’s how Trump won Politifact’s 2015 ‘Lie of the Year’ award for his plethora of documented lies.
As Trump would say: Trump is pathological, a pathological liar, at the very least.
Imagine this is what they do in high stakes games because they can. Cruz gets his operative to embarass Trump with Melania’s pictures the day before an election. Trump then smears Heidi as the hors d’oeuvre to the upcoming bloodbath. He then leaks the rest of the already spinning story about 5 women who have had sex with Ted, knowing it will wound his own spokeswoman but that the drip, drip, drip, will be agonizing to Ted’s family. In response, Ted pulls some strings to have officers play their part in arresting Trump’s right hand man as immediate revenge, perhaps ruining his future. Can it get anymore sleazy? Yes, it has not played out in full….
Would Walters or Amampour coimplain of a bruise? all you Trump haters get off the sanctimonious attitude, If this so called reporter cant handle this, she is NO reporter, if women reporters have to be handled differently then men, BEWARE. ps. why is this site only showing Cruz advertisements? if something going on now on FITS??? it Fits bought and paid for by Cruz? may well find out now. Fits bought and paid for by Cruz! Oh, may.
The ads repeat and repeat themselves. Sorry to see that the site is for sale.
You’re right Ms. Walters or Amampour would NOT have complained….
They would have shouted “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF ME YOU SKIN-HEADED SON OF A BITCH, I’M GONNA CALL A COP AND HAVE YOUR ASS ARRESTED.”
End of scenario………..
That being said, the woman has at least one credible witness on audio tape confirming the assault and a picture of burses on her arm.
Her only mistake was not seeking out a cop as soon as she could find one at the rally and pressing charges then.
Lesson learned: assault and/or battery is assault an/or battery and you can get arrested for it. Ask any contentious couple involved in a divorce……..(or even FITS for that matter).
The bruises on this woman’s arm would have caused SC LE to arrest this guy for CDV if LE had been called to the home…without the woman having to file charges.
So, is it worse, better or about the same when Lewandowski gets arrested for essentially grabbing an unrelated stranger, snatching them around and leaving marks?
If there’s a smart reporter out there, they are going to be able to dig up incident reports regarding Lewandowski putting his hands where they are not wanted in every town he’s ever lived in.
Well, that was a rambling bunch of nonsense and red herrings. Yeah, if a wife called LE and showed them a bruise her husband had just allegedly given her then certainly the husband would have been arrested. What does that have to do with this situation? No contact with the police was made until three days after this alleged “incident” and it’s totally unclear whether she truly had a bruise. Even if she did, it’s unclear where it came from, so your comparative scenario is totally nonsensical and typical of your posts on here. You obviously haven’t been following this very closely. Your ignorance is astounding. There is no need for “incident reports” to be dug up. That would be a total waste of any reporter’s time, especially after seeing video of this alleged “incident”.
This is a farce created by Fields,The News Media and Trump haters. Trump should take out a warrant of Fields.
Not arrested.
