[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]Has anyone else been paying attention to the Breitbart soap opera? I'm ashamed at how much I'm enjoying it. For those who haven't followed developments, here is a recap:

1) Following a Trump rally, Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields started asking Trump a question as he was passing through a crowd of reporters and photographers;

2) Fields was roughly pulled from behind by her arm, almost falling to the ground and ending up with a bruised arm;

3) Fields believed her assailant was Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and that was confirmed by Washington Post reporter Ben Terris who witnessed it;

4) Lewandowski denied that he had touched Fields, called her "deranged", and said he had never even met her;

5) Breitbart's editor asked Trump's campaign for an apology but Trump himself denied anything had happened Fields;

6) The Daily Beast (or maybe the Daily Caller, one of them) published a leak that Lewandowski had told the Breitbart editor he was sorry for roughing up Fields but he didn't recognize her and thought he was from the mainstream media (both Lewandowski and the editor deny this);

7) Brietbart folks began both defending and questing Field's account and eventually Breitbart published an article accusing Terris of the Post of misidentifying Lewandowski (Terris stands by his identification);

8) Brietbart based it's claims on video showing Lewandowski on the opposite side of Trump from Fields, but video has emerged showing Lewandowski moving behind Trump and reaching his arm toward Fields, providing video support if not complete proof of her claims;

9) An audio recording of Terris and Fields just after her assault supports their claims that it was Lewandowski;

10) The PR person for Breitbart resigned due to the lack of support for Fields and claimed that Breitbart was in the bag for Trump;

11) Fields filed a criminal complaint against Lewandowski;

12) Fields and Breitbart report Ben Shapiro both resigned in protest with Shapiro saying that Breitbart had been turned into "Trump's personal Pravda";

13) A leaked email showed the Brietbart editor had been pursuing a job as a speech writer with Trump's campaign;

14) After Fields and Shapiro resigned, Breitbart published an article ridiculing Shapiro;

15) The article was published under a pseudonym used by Shapiro's father and revealed the Shaprio's father's true identity;

16) The article was removed and replaced with an "Editor's note" saying that a staffer had inappropriately published the article (the "staffer" and the "editor" are one and the same);

17) Shapiro's father also resigned from Breitbart and more resignations are expected.

Yes, the series of shots from the L show that the Trump campaign manager is aggressively approaching her .

Look at the photo series the BBC has published, particularly check out the focus of Lewandowski 's  facial expression as he hones in :

That is the face of assault.

Now Trump doesn't even look up from his iPhone, does not even seem to notice

My take is NOT that Corey Lewandowski was trying to fend off a journalista, but rather an attractive woman , a very attractive woman whom Trump appears to be talking to while he is simultaneously on his phone ( as in, sure, lets talk later , what is your cell phone number )
