UPDATE: Per the Palm Beach Post, Lewandowksi turned himself in earlier on Tuesday morning. He's being charged with misdemeanor battery.

Jupiter police later said they were looking into the incident after Fields filed a report, although investigators had not named Lewandowski.

Lewandowski turned himself in to Jupiter police just after 8 a.m., accoriding[sic] to a police report.

Surveillance footage captured at Trump National, off Donald Ross Road, corroborates Feilds’[sic] claim, the arrest report says.

A statement from the Trump Campaign asserts that Lewandowski is "absolutely innocent" of the charges.

Surveillance footage released by the Jupiter Police Dept. clearly contradicts Lewandowski's claim that he never touched Fields.

Misdemeanor battery? That is, by definition, simply an unwanted "touching" of the "victim".

Earth-shattering, really.

Which begs the question that was being asked from the beginnning...

WHY COVER IT UP? WHY LIE?

She only filed charges to refute the lies from the Trump campaign. If Lewandowski had apologized, it would have gone away and never even been written up as a story.

It's the cover up that gets idiots every time, not the crime.

Earth-shattering, really.

Earth-shattering, really.

Never said otherwise. Sort of like certain candidates making statements about others withdrawing from races, or similar, is it not? A simple apology would have gone a long way. Perhaps it's just the communications directors' fault?

Unfortunately, we're going to find out whether having a campaign manager charged with a petty misdemeanor is worse than having a candidate embroiled in an adultery scandal.

That....

Grabbing her arm and it's a "battery" charge? Talk about grasping at straws...

Women are going to hear that a female reporter was assaulted by a Trump manager and that the Trump campaign lied and tried to cover it up.

They will also see the bruises.

You can't win without the women voters. Trump has lost it.

I knew that was coming when he bruised up that girl.

Perhaps; perhaps not. Of course, your alternative is a candidate who has tried to out pious the Pope and is now going to be embroiled in an adultery scandal (likely involving several women). How's that going to play with the women voters?

Donald Trump's campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has been charged in Jupiter, Florida, with simple battery of former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields, according to a police document.
The report states that Fields came to the Jupiter Police Department on March 11, three days after the alleged incident. According to the police officer who interviewed Fields that day, she indicated that after she asked Trump a question, she "felt someone yank her left arm," and that she "fell back but caught herself from falling."

"Fields showed me her left forearm, which revealed bruising from what appeared to be several finger marks indicating a grabbing type injury," the officer wrote.
The Jupiter Police Department has also released new video that shows the alleged incident from an overhead angle. According to a Jupiter Police Department document, Lewandwoski has a court date of May 4.
Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks said in a statement Tuesday that Lewandowski is "absolutely innocent of this charge," and will plead not guilty.
"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," the statement said.

Desperation oozes from the Cruz supporters pores.

Cruz is embroiled in a sex scandal and hush money payoffs and the Cruzbots try to divert attention away from Cruz and address the actions of a 3rd party individual over a kiddie-court charge.

Priceless.

Both drudge and breitbart are headlining it.

When you've lost your propaganda machines, things aren't good.

NY Daily News. Daily Beast. IB Times. National Review. Hotair. Washington Post.

Cruz won't be the headlines tonight.

NY Daily News. Daily Beast. IB Times. National Review. Hotair. Washington Post.

S are we hanging Cruz on rumor or is there hard evidence?

He may not be headlines tonight, but the sex scandal isn't going away. The adultery scandal, especially for a candidate who tried to wrap himself in the Bible and faith at every opportunity, is a campaign killer. Cruz might escape a night or two of headlines, but he's in serious trouble - WAY more so than what a campaign manager actions can equal.

Odd that you want to avoid all that, Cal.

Top story on CNN... Apparently pleading not guilty. Yeah.. that's going to work.
---------------

What a major goofball.

Pleading not guilty isn't going to work?

What a naive little toy.

You're depending on a National Enquirer story being true, I'll let things play out. Having Roger Stone and Trump's buddy that owns the National Enquirer run a story doesn't make it true, and in this day and age it may not matter to women that much if he did.

This is actually the story of what a Trump presidency would look like. A lot of coverups for stupid little issues that could have been addressed with a bit of honesty up front.

She showed bruises to the cops, they have photos. They have multiple statements by Lewandowski and Trump's campaign that he never touched her. They have video proof showing he did.

Idiocy to plead not guilty. Even you couldn't get him off.

So, if the reports of Cruz's infidelity are true (and there's a LOT of smoke there for there to be no fire), are you, like Glenn Beck, going to drop him like a hot potato?

Not a freaking chance if the only other option is egomaniac Trump.

Idiocy to plead guilty. Pleading guilty shuts all doors, including any affirmative defenses to the charge (and yes, he will have those), as well as any deals that can be cut or other resolutions.

There are also about 100 witnesses that were there, and those statements will come into play.

Funny i don't recall anyone saying that Cruz did this.

And what was said if it happened lying was the worst thing to do.

But whatever TRUMP will save us....GOD WILLS IT!!!!

Yet, you'd still support what would then be the biggest guaranteed loser of a candidate going instead of rationally understanding his candidacy is dead and that he would gift wrap the White House to Hitlery.

I am voting against the democrats..

I just watched the assault. It was gut-wrenching. I
could not believe my eyes.

Your too emotionally tied up in Trump to see reality. Trump can't win, never expected to win, didn't go into it wanting to win, would be horrible if he did win, and has come in last in something like 90% of the polls.

Cruz versus Hillary? Please... I want to see Hillary stand up there and make a case against Cruz because he slept with some women - while she stands up there and has a long history of attacking women her husband slept with.

Keep living that dream that Cruz will bail because of a National Enquirer story. It's sad that it's all you have.

If you've ever been to a concert or county fair, you've been equally accosted. Michelle Fields is putting her reputation at stake here, hoping to knock out the front runner.

I hope more see the video.

Right? It's frigging amazing that the little idiot would lie about this in the first place when it would have gone away with an apology. Trump definitely didn't hire the best guy in this instance..

Further, by the standards of misdemeanor battery it would appear that the video equally convicts the young lady of unlawfully touching Trump.

You're delusional. I am not, and have not been, "emotionally invested" or "tied up in" Trump. Hell, I didn't even vote for Trump in the primary in this state (make sure you're sitting down - I voted for Cruz).

What I'm posting is a fact - infidelity of that magnitude will kill Cruz's campaign as it has others before him. Yet, you'll still support him.

It's also pretty damned clear that Cruz won't pull any union votes in battleground states whereas Trump can.

That's not emotion; that's fact. My stance for Nov. has never changed; it's always been A.B.C/D (Anyone But Clinton/Democrat).

Would that, then, not also show an affirmative defense by Lewandowski of acting in order to protect his employer as is part of his duty to the candidate? It certainly could, I think.

Where do you get any backing for your opinion that Trump will pull union votes? Where do you get any evidence that Trump will do well in battleground states?

There is NONE that I have ever seen, except for what the Trump campaign puts out. Until you can have some sources to your unfounded allegations, we may as well end this. You aren't going to convince me of fairy tales, and I won't convince you of anything.

By the way, where was the SS? Trump has had a gazillion death threats and the!at girl just wake up to him and grabs him by the arm? WTF was that?

Statements by witnesses that didn't see it? That should be interesting....

They have video.

If there was affirmative defenses to it the judge is going to want to know why he lied about the contact in the first place.

Hmmmm.... actual exit polls and primary results are a pretty damned good clue.

News sources citing Trump's pull within the Union voting circles are other sources -

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/08/3261311/

If you had the overriding concern to beat Hitlery in Nov., you'd be looking at all the candidates from various angles and seeing which one really has the best chance of beating her. That analysis does not support Cruz.

Those are laughable... interviews with individual union guys and anecdotal talk of there being a ground surge of support.

Sigh. Fairy tales.

Headlining on CNN, MSNBC, CBSNEWS, near the top on NYTimes..

But Fox News has a small blurb on it halfway down the page.

Interesting.

There is a SS guy standing right beside Lewandowski and he was closer to Fields, he never felt the need to do anything. Trump also never felt the need to do anything.

Self defense? Hmm.. when the assaulting party wasn't defending himself?

He won't read this one, either:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/l...ought-to-endorsing-trump/article/2573359

Or any of the others out there.

He only cares about backing a hypocritical candidate on a failing campaign. I care about beating Hitlery in Nov.

There is a SS guy standing right beside Lewandowski and he was closer to Fields, he never felt the need to do anything. Trump also never felt the need to do anything.

Self defense? Hmm.. when the assaulting party wasn't defending himself?

Read through it. Very interesting story about multiple unions not endorsing Trump.

Really. you can't make this up.

But it's major news, because some people think they MIGHT endorse Trump at some indeterminate point in the future. Or might endorse Hillary. Or Sanders. The article says that also.

TFF.

More importantly, it's a misdemeanor which requires actual intent. Swatting reaching arms away from your candidate won't at all meet the requisite intent necessary for a conviction.

He wasn't arrested. He was simply given a summons and noticed to appear.

In reading the comments section of the Fox news article, it's very favorable to Trump with many saying they will now vote for him. Mostly, you've got to be F'ing kidding me stuff with Fields being called a never-was flake.

Drumpf's followers have become the Modern-day Manson Family to his Charlie Manson, while Lewandoski played the role of Charles "Tex" Watson.

Maybe Sheriff Joe Arpaio will take his place.

First comment on Fox:

The comments sections on news articles are there for full blown retards. I can't believe Bob mentioned them, though I can believe you went trolling through them.

I don't know of any state that doesn't have intent as an element of either an assault or a battery but Florida's battery statute certainly requires an intentional,unwanted touching.

MICHELLE FIELDS UPDATE: Trump campaign manager arrested for battery of female reporter. “The report from the Jupiter Police Department said Corey Lewandowski was charged for intentionally grabbing and bruising the arm of Michelle Fields, a former reporter for the conservative news outlet Breitbart, against her will at a Trump campaign event on March 8.” As I said before, a bought drink and an apology could have fixed this, but they doubled down and called her a liar instead. They chose poorly.

Glenn Reynolds at instapundit gets to the core of it..

Glenn did update his blurb to say that Lewandowski was charged, not arrested since the latter infers being taken into custody.

It compares to a National Enquirer story.. well, it's a fact compared to something with what might amount to a fairy tale.

Hmmmm.... actual exit polls and primary results are a pretty damned good clue.

Those "fairy tales" have Heidi Cruz cancelling her involvement with Ted's campaign.

In Lewandowski's defense, how could he possibly know there would be comprehensive surveillance video at his boss' own estate.

Trump tweeters now: “I cannot believe she filed a police report. Disgrace.”

She's cancelled her New York and New Jersey stops to go campaign with Ted in Wisconsin.

There it is. Hardly criminal.

What a lying POS.

Thanks for posting that. I'd never seen that angle before.

The video is demonstrable evidence her initial report to LE was a flat out fabrication.

The video is demonstrable evidence her initial report to LE was a flat out fabrication.

On March 12th, 2016, I obtained video footage from Trump Security at Trump National...

Lewandowski then grabbed Fields left arm with his right hand, causing her to turn and step back. This motion cleared a path for Lewandowski to walk past Fields, allowing him to "catch up" and get closer to Trump, who was walking during this entire incident.

Based on the above-described investigation, probable cause exists to charge Corey Lewandowski, DOB 9/18/1973, with (1) count of Simple Battery...

If you walk up and touch somebody in a grocery store without their permission, that is technically battery. So there is probable cause to support the charge. No big thing there. As to the conviction, we'll see.

The bigger story is someone...anyone filing charges on anything that is so clearly chickenschit. Alo that has happened is that he has been summoned to court. The prosecutor might drop it when he does. This is is Mayberry RFD level court.

By the way, a Secret Service source is now confirming that Fields touched Trump twice and was warned to stop immediately before Lewandowski grabbed her.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1h1 hour ago

Victory press conference was over.
Why is she allowed to grab me and shout questions? Can I press charges?

Really? Too funny..

1) Fields tells her bosses at Breitbart what happened
2) Breitbart supervisors contact Corey Lewandowski, who promises to apologize
3) Lewandowski then retracts and says he never touched her
4) Bosses at Breitbart shut up and start running stories about she must have mistaken who it was that yanked her
5) Trump fans everywhere yell - No police report, it never happened! LIAR! LIAR!

So.. she filed a police report to show she wasn't a liar.

Now, Trump fans every yell at her because she filed a police report.

TFF.

An anonymous source...

Because, you know, the Secret Service agents are so well known about giving out interviews.

Meanwhile, Donald wants to know if he can file charges. Apparently in looking at the video, he now realizes that she touched his coat sleeve. He's in full meltdown on twitter.

It's so sad...

Breaking... apparently.

Liars suffer for their lies.

Anonymous as in an unamed member of his security detail. I'm sure that even your half retarded ass understands why the SS doesn't widely publicize the names of its agents on high profile security details.

"I heard that nothing happened. You know, we're surrounded by Secret Service. We have many Secret Service. You see some of them here. When we left, I spoke to them. Nothing happened. This was, in my opinion, made up," he told CNN.

"Now I didn't see anything. All of a sudden we heard about it later on. But the Secret Service said nothing happened. The Secret Service are amazing people. They said absolutely nothing happened. He [Corey Lewandowski] didn't hear about it until like, the next day," Trump continued.

"I wasn't involved in it. But the Secret Service was surrounding everybody. They said nothing happened. Everybody said nothing happened. Perhaps she made the story up. I think that's what happened," he said.

Corey Lewandowski
‎@CLewandowski_

http://www.dangerandplay.com/2016/03/29/corey-lewandowski-battery-michelle-fields/

I think the whole thing started out with the Trumpies calling her a liar.

Cruz is an adulterous hypocrite establishment politician yet you don't care, but this story about a 3rd party to trump... you are all over it.

Once Trump gets the nomination, have fun voting for Hill dog.

The girl has a long history of being a psycho bitch.

http://gotnews.com/calling-bullshit-michelle-fields/

Thanks for proving my point, Corey.

You need to see if you can find another issue.

This one has made a fool of you.

Corey Lewandowski's habit of roughing people up is probably why the Koch brother's got rid of him at Americans for Prosperity.

Look at this whole thing another way. Here's a story that wasn't a story. Campaign manager bruises up a young lady during a press conference - but it wouldn't have been an issue if the campaign manager had simply apologized. That's all it would have taken - a simple, "Hey, I grabbed you harder than I meant to. Sorry about that.". End of story.

So they lie. Trump says the Secret Service didn't know anything about it. Lewandowski says he never touched her. They tell Breitbart that if they want continued access to the campaign they better bury her and the story. Five top people quit BreitBart. The Trump campaign starts maligning her as a serial liar with old stories. The campaign and Breitbart say it must have been a Secret Service guy that grabbed her. Lie after lie after lie...
...

It never would have been an issue. If an apology hadn't been forthcoming from the manager as soon as the pictures of bruises came forth, Cruz would have fired his butt.

Hmm. Wonder if Lewandowski knows too much for Trump to fire him. Just think of the truly devastating truths that ol' Lewie would tell that would crush the hearts and minds of Trumpetters around the nation.

Yep. Best keep up the lying and trying to ruin a woman's career rather than risk what Lewie could tell the world.

Now. Imagine these folks in charge of domestic and foreign policy and the intelligence services and the IRS and the FBI and the ATF and Supreme Court nominations.


When all it would have taken was to tell the truth and a simple apology.

The whole thing is an excellent example of why you shouldn't hire women. Too many of them are looking for an opportunity to cause trouble.

It's best to stay away from them as much as possible.

This wouldn't have been headed off with a simple apology. The woman made a fake audio tape with another reporter to try and bolster her story. She's had him in her sights all along.

Not with women, Bob and like An Coulter said, without the female vote, the last democrat president in history would have been Harry Truman.

Fake audio tape with another reporter? Umm...

Bob? Care to jump in here?

There was a supposed audio of the incident where she says she was thrown down

No, there wasn't.

Fields: “Mr. Trump, you went after the late Scalia for affirmative action, do you -- are you still against affirmative action?"

Voice (allegedly Corey Lewandowski): “Excuse me, thank you.”

A few moments later (noise of the room can be heard)...

Terris: “You OK?"

Fields: “Holy sh*t."

Terris: “Yea he just threw you."

Fields: “I can’t believe he just did that that was so hard. Was that Corey?"

Terris: “Yeah, like, what threat were you?"

Fields: "That was insane. You should have felt how hard he grabbed me. That's insane. I’ve never had anyone do that to me from a campaign."

Terris: “Can I put that in my story?"

Fields: “Yeah, go for it — that was really awful. That’s so unprofessional.”

Terris: “He really just almost threw you on the ground."

Fields: “He literally went like this and was grabbing me down. "I don’t even want to do what he just did to me. Oh my God, that really spooked me that someone would do that."

Terris: “What threat were you?"

Fields: “Nothing. I was asking about affirmative action."

Terris: “And he probably knows you, right?"

Fields: “Yeah, I don’t understand. That looks horrible. You’re going after a Breitbart reporter, the people who are nicest to you?"

Terris: “I know, I’m going to put it in my story."

Fields: “I can’t believe he just did that that was so hard.

It never would have been an issue. If an apology hadn't been forthcoming from the manager as soon as the pictures of bruises came forth, Cruz would have fired his butt.

Here's the report
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/03/29/us/politics/document-lewandowski.html?_r=0

You and Pat have done as much to turn me off to Cruz as Cruz has.

I really don't know how important you have to think you are to approach a SS protected person, shove a recorded in his face, and NOT have someone grab your arm and pull you away.

Really? You prefer just living in ignorance and bliss from the lies your candidate tells you? Trump probably picked up on that tendency of voters from that book he used to keep on his bedstand where he read speeches for inspiration.

From the arrest report:
"Fields asked Trump a question, while holding her cell phone up to Trump as a recording device. After she had asked the question, she felt someone yank her left arm. She added that she fell back but caught herself from falling."

She never, ever claimed to have been pulled down to the ground. NEVER. Just pulled off balance.

It's just amazing...

There was a roomful of reporters doing it.. it's standard practice at these things. And no secret service personnel grabbed her or ever grabs any of the press unless the candidate asks for help.

Again.. all he had to do was apologize about it and not lie about her doing it and try to ruin her career. He lied, the truth came out, now he's charged. Seems like the way justice is supposed to work in America.

walking it back for her are you? Why wasn't "pulled off balance" the way it was described from the beginning?

It started out as being nearly thrown to the ground.

Next she's falling back.

Now it's just pulled off balance?

-----------

I'll take the women vote for Trump vs. the women and kid vote for Clinton any day of the week, Jorge.

Dude...

"I fell back" and "Pulled off balance" are the same freaking thing in this case.

----------

Yep, you're likely right,Pat.

I'm confident I know what you Cruzbots would say if it was Cruz's team on that vid.

But, it appears they were too busy trying to stifle some hookers,homely homers and Heidi instead.

Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski was charged with battery today for brushing up against a reporter at a campaign rally.

Maybe she'll cry on Cruz's shoulder and he'll help her earn new income potential as an NE witness?

You never can tell what that kind gracious man might do for a lady in need of assistance!

All the lady asked for at first was a simple apology and it would have been a peanut story; over and done with. But Trump and his people turned that minor molehill into this mountain. Super Stupid.

Even some of the Trump supporting talking heads are shaking their heads over this one.

I would demand a jury trial pronto.

So the official story is that she was brutally and viciously assaulted, but all they had to do was say sorry and she wouldn't have cared. TFF

The apology story is bull. This chick was gunning for him.

The apology story is the truth and the lady said it would have been no big deal if they had not lied and said it never happened. IT Happened.

The apology story is the truth and the lady said it would have been no big deal if they had not lied and said it never happened. IT Happened.

Here's how it will play out.

The judge will act only vaguely interested in hearing her story after correctly concluding that she's just a snivelling little girl looking for her 15 minutes of fame.

The witnesses will be called and state that they witnessed no assault.

The judge will say "Not Guilty".

Her attorney will get paid.

Nobody will ever hire her to do anything more than shuffle papers from here on out.

No it doesn't. And, again, he never touched her forearm. He touched her bicep. Clear as day.

Tell me more about the bruises on her forearm?

Also, just on Fox, they posted the original statement where Fields said they almost knocked me to the floor.

I'd love for you to be the cop with that type of victim on the stand.

Plus, your own bros in the SS say she's full of schit.

Keep plugging away for the serial adulterer, though.

She's a spooled little brat.

She's doing it because she couldn't get any traction at first and she's being ignored,wants the attention.Her pride is wounded

One SS agent told her twice back off and she forced past and grabbed Trump.She had no right to do that. Did Trump file charges against her?

She's making the whole thing up. Sounded like she was going to cry because no one believed her.....wah wah.

Rabble rouser...just like some people on here LOL!

I love how the Trumpeteers all sing from the same song sheet.

Clearly you can see from the video she got yanked away, a journalists job is question candidates !!

I didn't Trump even flinch or budge when she got up close to grill the lame duck

This is just the kind of stuff that will put Trump over the top. Your average American will see that video and say "What?" Then he will conclude that it is just another example of Trump being treated unfairly.

What's telling is the attitude of a bunch of Trump supporters towards women.

,...make the next spoiled rotten little bitch to come along think twice about disrupting a Presidential election with bullshit.

There's the Trump base in action!

Thank you for showing it so well.

I think a Secret Service agent should have dislocated her shoulder and knocked out one,..maybe both of her front teeth.

How dare that reporter ask Caesar Trump a question.

"I'm a strong independent woman, I can do anything a man can do!"

I challenge you to watch this video (new angle just released) and find any fault in it. No bruises came from this encounter, I can assure you. I am pretty sure there was no grabbing, all he did was shield her off.

She's a serial liar. This isn't her first rodeo.

http://gotnews.com/calling-bullshit-michelle-fields/

Opening paragraph:

Full disclosure: I’m a supporter of Ted Cruz. I’ve even bet on him to win the election and primary, but I’m not going to allow a serial liar control the discussion of what happened.

You'll learn about those SJW wenches someday.

They're extremely toxic.

I don't think he knows what a SJW is, and he'll probably not Google it either. I could always be wrong. But I have a sneaking suspicion. No sleight intended to anyone.

What's telling is the attitude of a bunch of Trump supporters towards women.

Which is sad, I thought most of that type were Democrats.

So far I've seen the Trump camp depending on Breitbart and gatewaypundit for defense - which along with Drudge are the main Trump propaganda and hit machines.


One question: Can anybody name any time in the past that a Secret Service agent went to the press anonymously? Especially when the Secret Service could narrow it down to 1 or 2 guys? Really, I'm curious about all the times I've missed where the SS fed news bits to foreign news agencies. I mean if they are doing it for something this frigging trivial, it must be a weekly occurrence.

I'll wait.

You Cruz boys need a distraction from pimp daddy Cruz sex scandal oh wait the Cruz gang says that's all made up not real..

. All it would have taken was an apology

Like I said, those pointing, shrieking, feminist, harpy bitches are toxic. Don't give them an inch. Deny everything. Make counter accusations.

Well, the Trump campaign followed your advice. Unfortunately they are finding out the same thing Bill Clinton did - stupid lies don't work.

If it's not a big issue and the judge is going to throw it out, why are so many Trump fans posting so many replies? Just curious.

The press and establishment has found that Trump has ONE weakness - women- and now they are going to run with it non stop

Are you kidding? He is the MSM's pet. They won't even call him out for 42% of his statements being bold faced lies.

I only provide facts. You can try to change them. The voters will be the judge.

Whole incident is a fu^ckin' joke.MM

The voters will be the judge.
===========

And they have been.

Although Cruz has been out of the race for over a month in reality, he's mathematically completely out the moment 77 more delegates go to Trump or Kasich.

Are you kidding? He is the MSM's pet. They won't even call him out for 42% of his statements being bold faced lies.

He is out. Has been out. Has zero chance at nomination.

We both know why he's still in though, don't we?

Here's some more on how the MSM favors Trump.
--------

Trump certified as winner in Missouri and grabs 12 more delegates on top of his current count.

Funny how the MSM who favors Trump doesn't publish the story.

I checked. They're too busy reporting on Trump's threats to sue everybody for saying mean things about his manager and his daily third party threat.

Who cares? It's all just more bullshit made up by Trump. The 80% that hate Trump sure don't.

What I see, are the same angry victims continuing to be victims because of their anger.

Wondering how many of you that have daughters or wives that you don't beat (it's sad that I have to put in that disclaimer) would tell them if they came home from work after being yanked and displaying bruises that they deserve it?

TFF, and how very liberal of you to send us all on a guilt trip. You will fit right in when you pull that lever for Hillary this Nov.

Despite Donald Trump’s insistence that it’s a flimsy case, the battery charge against his campaign manager is straightforward for Florida prosecutors, according to independent attorneys and a reading of state statute.

The strength of the allegations against Corey Lewandowski revolve around multiple factors that most simple battery cases don’t have: video, audio and eye-witness evidence that indicates he grabbed reporter Michelle Fields by the arm and yanked her out of Trump’s way without her permission.

The wording of Florida statute, 784.03 (1) (a) (1), cited by the Jupiter police officer who charged Lewandowski on Tuesday, is also broad and clear when it comes to the charge: “The offense of battery occurs when a person… Actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other.”

For veteran defense attorney Elizabeth L. Parker, the letter of the law and the wealth of evidence against Lewandowski make this a tough case for him to defend if prosecutors decide to pursue it.

“You have the most corroborating evidence I’ve seen in a battery case in a long time,” said Parker, who supervised battery cases from 2003-2011 as a prosecutor in Palm Beach County, where the incident occurred.

“It’s not often you get a crime caught on tape. Most battery cases are he-said, she-said. And the police come and the police make a determination. And prosecutors look to see if there’s any corroborating evidence. Are there any injuries? Any independent witnesses? – things like that,” Parker said. “And here we have all of that…. Again, it’s very rare, and it’s a very prosecutable case.”

An attorney for Lewandowski, Scott N. Richardson, said his client was innocent. Trump said there was “nothing there.”

“I’m sticking up for a person because I’m not gonna let a person’s life be destroyed over somebody that we have on tape, and you just take a look at what people are saying when they see that incident on tape,” Trump told reporters during a 25-minute news conference while aboard his plane on Tuesday. “No jury, in my opinion, no jury would convict a man and destroy a man’s life over what you witnessed.”

Katie S. Phang, a Miami attorney with the powerhouse Berger Singerman firm, questioned whether Lewandowski should press his luck.

"If the State Attorney's Office files this charge, and Lewandowski pushes this case to trial, he better hope that a 'jury of his peers' drinks the Trump Kool-Aid, too. Because if they don't, he just might be convicted," Phang said.

The incident, which occurred March 8 at the Trump National Golf Club, was witnessed by Washington Post reporter Ben Terris, who said he saw Lewandowski yank Fields, then a reporter for Breitbart News, as she tried to ask Trump a question after his news conference. In an audio recording of the incident played for Jupiter Police Officer Marc Bujnowski, Fields and Terris expressed surprise with Lewandowski’s rough treatment.

Bujnowski, noting Fields showed him bruises on her arm, also obtained surveillance video from the golf club that corroborated the reporters’ story and cast doubt on Lewandowski’s claim that he never touched or saw Fields.

Whether the case gets prosecuted, however, is another matter.

Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg has yet to receive the case from the Jupiter Police Department and couldn’t comment on it, said spokesman Mike Edmondson. He said the police officer made a determination to charge based on “probable cause” that a crime occurred. But, he said, prosecutors have to decide two extra factors before bringing the case: “if the state can meet its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt and if there’s a reasonable likelihood of conviction before moving forward with a charge.”

Miami-Dade criminal defense attorney Patrick J. McGeehan said that, while the evidence indicates there was a battery, the prosecutors might not push the case because it might not be a slam dunk. In reviewing the video footage, McGeehan said, there’s a possibility that prosecutors could consider how aggressively Fields pursued Trump as she tried to question him.

A former Miami police officer, McGeehan said an officer would normally make a simple battery charge in a low-profile case involving private citizens who, say, got in a fight in a bar.

“But if you, me and Donald Trump get in a fist fight in a parking lot, they’re going to take it to the state attorney and go ‘hey, what should we do with this?’ At least that’s been my experience in Dade County and I was a policeman for 22 years,” McGeehan said.

As for the underlying charge, McGeehan and Parker were in clear agreement: “Battery? Yeah,” he said. “Under the statute – under the broad statute – yeah: Battery.”

Actually, if a woman I cared about got involved in a situation like that, I'd tell her, "You need to stay far away from anyone protected by the Secret Service."

My cousin married into the NSA. His advice was to stay well clear of anyone who is protected by any alphabet agency. They don't have to play nice.

Her only planning now is figuring out how and where to spend her 30 pieces of silver....
