Looks like it was one of TRUMP's security guys, not Lewandowski.

That's complete obfuscation.  Lewandowski admitted grabbing her to the Daily Beast.

Breitbart is trying to give both sides an out, but it's a lie.

Corey is facing Michelle and walking directly towards her.  He's less than half a second from being able pull her down.  Ben Terris was watching Lewanduski the whole time and saw him do it.

MSNBC video of what happened and  Terris talking to CL right afterward....odd that he would misidentify him.

Also Terris is not backing down...

lol @ that image and the "strange object" label. That's not a strange object. Though it's pretty obvious why that phrase is used - Makes her perceived more negatively.

That looks far more convincing. Considering the reports of him admitting it and this video, I'd say he was likely the one who grabbed her. At least that's what the majority of the evidence so far suggests.

Yeah, I am definitely taking the side of Fields and Terris after seeing that. He grabbed her, will be interesting to see how Donald responds.

If it was normal campaign CL would be toast.

I'm a bit confused by this story, so just to clarify: There's no doubt the assault against a reporter from Breitbart took place, the question is just who did it. There are two possibilities, someone from the Trump campaign, or someone from Trump's security detail. Breitbart and WashPo are arguing it's someone from the campaign. If that's the case, why would people be resigning from Breitbart? Also, I don't know what Corey Lewandowski looks like, so I'm not entirely sure what to be looking for in the "damning" video, but I don't really see any pushing, shoving, or grabbing there. I'm not a Trump supporter at all, but is there really any "there" there in terms of possible repercussions against the campaign?

I am in utter shock anyone thinks anything happened in that video, and I'm unofficially off the Trump train after last night. This seems like a bad joke.

Well it's already established someone did bruise her up, so the question is who, as you said. The video clearly shows Corey quickly moving towards her with his arm/hand out while the agent seems oblivious. Given that there were reports of him admitting he did it, I think it's fair to say that there is far more reason to think Corey did it then anyone else.

In regards to Breitbart - I think it's funny that people are resigning there and that Breitbart in general seems to be backing Trump. They are nothing but a right-wing propaganda firm masquerading as a "news" site, so it's no surprise what is going on with that. The last thing they care about is real news, or accuracy, or integrity. So again, no surprise they threw their people under the bus - And for someone like Trump even.

Liars all. This non-stop anti-Trump campaign is disgusting.

They chose their line of work. Hard to feel bad for Breitbart employees.

"I resigned," said Bardella, who was formerly a long-time aide to Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.). "I reached the point where I couldn’t do 100 percent of my ability to represent them both for them and me, and when you reach that point, it is time to move on."

Without elaborating on what happened over the past few days, Bardella said Breitbart took the news well and that they had a "positive conversation."

"I reached a point where I was in an untenable position. For me it’s OK. I need to move on," he said.

Sounds like Breitbart was asking him to do things he was uncomfortable doing.

Watching the attached video to this article reveals another trump blunder.
In the video, near the end, a completely different (third-party) reporter inquires about the incident.
This reporter asks if trump would "apologize" to Fields (the reporter that was hurt) if it is found that his campaign manager (Lewandowski) was indeed found to have committed the assault.

trump gives a vague answer, but what is most disturbing is that trump asks that if Lewandowski  is found innocent, will this third-party reporter apologize to Lewandowski ?
Why does trump feel it necessary for this third-party reporter to apologize ?
The reporter is just asking questions, and has nothing to do with the incident at all.
Stupid trump moment, and stupid question from trump. Really makes him look like an idiot.
(Watch the video).

The video is positively useless.

Its blocked by people with cameras.

So lets see what those cameras in close show regarding this incident. She does not appear to be disruptive or rude.

I just want to see the incident. Otherwise it's " he said, she said ".

It's more than just "he said, she said."
There is at least one witness, and maybe more to come.
You don't need video, for the authorities and prosecution to act.
Some video, witness(es) and images of her injuries/bruising is usually enough.

Wow.  Kurt Bardella is on CNN and is giving an epic interview right now.  Flat out called Breitbart liars and say they are in the tank for Trump.

He's leaving the commentators speechless.  Wait for the clips.  Some of the best television I've watched in a while
