DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER COREY LEWANDOWSKI WILL
NOT BE PROSECUTED FOR BATTERY OVER HIS ALTERCATION WITH THE
FORMER BREITBART REPORTER MICHELLE FIELDS --
AFTER THAT ENTIRE ORDEAL, HE WAS CHARGED BUT WILL NOT
ACTUALLY BE PROSECUTED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THERE A HIGHER STANDARD, IT'S GOT TO LEAVE A MARK?
IT DID LEAVE A MARK.
IT LEFT A MARK, HOW MUCH MORE OF A HIGHER STANDARD -- A
SECURITY THUG GRABS A WOMAN, YANKS HER, LEAVES A BRUISE FOR
NO REASON -- I GUESS THAT IS OKAY NOW.
I GUESS YOU CAN YANK
WOMEN IN FLORIDA AND LEAVE BRUISES ON THEM, AND THEN THAT
DOESN'T -- THAT IS NOT A PROSECUTABLE OFFENSE IN FLORIDA.
THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING, IT IS OPEN SEASON.
IF IT LEAVES A BRUISE, THAT IS NOT BAD ENOUGH.
I GUESS THERE HAS TO BE BLOOD.
BLOOD, BROKEN BONES.
IT IS BAD ENOUGH TO ARREST THE GUY IN CHARGE, BUT YOU WILL
NOT PROSECUTE HIM?
WHY WOULDN'T YOU PROSECUTE HIM?
I WONDER WHAT HAPPENED IF HE YANKED A COP IN FLORIDA.
THEY HAVE A HIGHER STANDARD.
OR JUST SAID NO.
THERE IT IS, RIGHT THERE.
YOU COULD BE BEATEN IN FLORIDA
IF YOU DON'T GRAB A COP'S TASER AND TASE YOURSELF.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT, THERE ARE TWO WAYS THIS CAN GO, YOU CAN
EITHER TASE YOURSELF OR I WILL KICK YOUR ASS.
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE BEEN PISSED BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND IF THEY
SAID WE HAVE REVIEWED THE EVIDENCE AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
IT RISES TO THE LEVEL OF WHAT IS TYPICALLY PROSECUTED FOR
BATTERY.
BUT TO SAY THERE IS A HIGHER STANDARD FOR EVIDENCE, WE
HAVE A VIDEO.
WE CAN SEE IT.
THERE IS A PHOTO, WE CAN SEE IT.
THE EVIDENCE IS THERE, THE ONLY PERSON WHO DOES NOT ACCEPT
THAT EVIDENCE IS DONALD TRUMP, AND WE KNOW WHY HE SAYS
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.
THE EVIDENCE IS NOT IN QUESTION.
YOU THINK THE PALM BEACH COUNTY STATE ATTORNEY, DO YOU
THINK HE WANTS A SPOT IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION?
IT IS POSSIBLE.
WHY WOULD YOU NOT PROSECUTE SOMEONE WHO ASSAULTED A
REPORTER ON VIDEOTAPE?
MAYBE THEY HAVE A POLICY AGAINST GETTING INVOLVED BECAUSE
I THINK IT MIGHT HURT THEIR CAREERS.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
LOOKING AT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED, MY FIRST REACTION,
WHAT I SORT OF FELT, I COULD GO EITHER WAY -- I BELIEVE THAT
WHAT SHOULD'VE HAPPENED IS THAT COREY LEWANDOWSKI AND PERHAPS
DONALD TRUMP SHOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY APOLOGIZED, SAID
THEY WILL NOT DO THAT IN THE FUTURE, AND THEY COULD STOP
PULLING ON PEOPLE, WHICH BY THE WAY COREY LEWANDOWSKI DID NOT
STOP DOING.
RIGHT AFTER PULLING MICHELLE FIELDS HE ALSO YANKED
ON A PROTESTER.
I FELT LIKE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH, CONSIDERING THE
LEVEL OF THE ALTERCATION AND EVERYTHING.
IT TURNS OUT
BEHIND-THE-SCENES THERE WERE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THIS CASE
THAT ACTUALLY AGREED WITH ME.
MICHELLE FIELDS, INITIALLY
REACTING TO THE REVELATION THAT THERE WILL NOT BE PROSECUTION,
SAYS --
WE FIND OUT FROM KATIE TUR --
THAT WAS CLEARED UP LATER ON
BY MICHELLE FIELDS WHO SAYS --
THEY WERE GIVEN -- AND THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN A TOWN HALL BY
DONALD TRUMP -- THEY WERE GIVEN THE OUT OF SIMPLY
APOLOGIZING TO A WOMAN, AND HE DIDN'T DO IT.
ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS APOLOGIZE.
ONE OF THESE PEOPLE IN THIS DISPUTE HAS MORE POLITICAL POWER
THAN THE OTHER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA, I WONDER WHO?
IT TURNS OUT -- IF YOU BUMP INTO SOMEONE, YOU APOLOGIZE.
IF
YOU YANK ON THEM --
THE STATUTE OF BATTERY READS, WHEN A PERSON INTENTIONALLY
STRIKES OR TOUCHES ANOTHER PERSON AGAINST THE WILL OF THEM.
HE ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHED OR STRUCK -- HE YANKED
HER, LEFT A BRUISE, CLEARLY AGAINST THE WILL OF HER.
IT
OBVIOUSLY RISES TO THE STANDARD.
AND IF YOU HAVE A JUDGE TRIAL,
HE WOULD DEFINITELY CONVICT THIS GUY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE --
THEY JUST CARE ABOUT THE ELEMENTS, DID IT REACH THE LEVEL
OF THE STATUTE, WHICH IT OBVIOUSLY DOES.
A JURY TRIAL, HE MIGHT GET OFF.
A JUDGE TRIAL, HE WOULD NOT.
YOU ARE FORGETTING ABOUT THE PEN, ACCORDING TO DONALD TRUMP
IT MIGHT BE A BOMB.
IT MIGHT BE A BOMB?
SHE SAYS IT'S JUST A PEN, I DID NOT GET A GOOD LOOK AT IT.
AND THEY LIED ABOUT IT HAPPENING.
THEY ARE ALREADY
LYING, YOU THINK THAT WOULD PISS OFF THE PROSECUTOR THAT THEY ARE
LYING.
TO THE COPS, TO US, THEY LIED.
ISN'T THAT ALREADY --
AND THEY WERE ATTACKING THE POLICE AND THE MEDIA AFTER HE
WAS CHARGED, AND FROM START TO FINISH IT WAS, SEEMINGLY FROM
THE OUTSIDE IT WAS HANDLED AS POORLY AS IT COULD BE, THAT IT
HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE, THAT THEY DENIED IT WHEN THEY KNEW
THERE WERE CAMERAS, THEY ALLEGED THAT SHE HAS A HISTORY OF MAKING
FALSE CLAIMS AND SHE MIGHT JUST BE HYSTERICAL, PLAYING INTO
OBVIOUS TROPES OF SEXIST STEREOTYPES FROM THE PAST, AND GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO AT LEAST ADMIT THAT YOUR GUY SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE THAT, DONALD TRUMP SAYS NO.
THEY GET THE OUT TO APOLOGIZE,
THEY SAY NO.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE THEY HANDLE IT AS POORLY AS
POSSIBLE, BUT OF COURSE THEY WILL GET OFF WITH NO ACTUAL JAIL
TIME, AND TO THEIR FOLLOWERS THIS IS EXACTLY THE WAY THEY
SHOULD HAVE HANDLED IT.
BECAUSE THEY HATE THOSE --
IN ALL FAIRNESS THERE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ANY JAIL TIME.
I'M NOT SAYING HE SHOULD HAVE FACED JAIL TIME, BUT THERE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONSEQUENCES.
THEY DID EVERYTHING BUT CALL HER A SLUT.
THIS IS WHAT THEIR FANS WANT TO SEE.
THEY DON'T CARE THAT
THAT WOMAN WAS A CONSERVATIVE JOURNALIST FROM A SITE THAT IS
MASSIVELY SUPPORTIVE OF DONALD TRUMP, THEY DON'T CARE.
IT IS A
WOMAN MAKING A CLAIM AGAINST THE POWERFUL MAN SO SHE IS OBVIOUSLY
A HYSTERICAL SLUT SO SHE SHOULD LOSE HER JOB AND IT DOESN'T
MATTER.
IN THE END SHE'S THE ONLY PERSON WHO WAS HARMED BY
THIS.
SHE LOST HER JOB, A COUPLE OTHER PEOPLE FROM BREITBART LOST
THEIR JOBS, NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO COREY LEWANDOWSKI.
THIS IS
WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WITHIN THE ORBIT OF DONALD TRUMP AND
HIS INNER CIRCLE.
