Secondly, from all the video angles shown, there was little or nothing in it.
Thirdly, iirc, she touched/impeded a Presidential candidate, which could have meant that she was liable to be charged, so Lewandowski could be said to have saved her from worse.
Lewandowski is an asshole but this was a nothing story, I don't know why you're trying to make something of it now ?

News is for...well, 'new' things. If there are any new developments with Lewandowski, I'm sure it will get re-hashed. If not, its no longer news.

Three days ago a New Yorker piece examined his performance at CNN and reviewed some of these issues again:

Comey, isn't it about time to bring the full force of the FBI onto this, since the murder took place on federal land?
