Trump deputy campaign manager involved in Arlington altercation : NPR
The two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump’s advance team.
I really wish the Arlington employee would press charges. I understand why they won't, but it's really disturbing that the campaign and the candidate are lying about what happened.
I wish Arlington would press charges and somehow leave the employee anonymous. I'm sure there's an argument to be made that it, as the employer, has standing.
Does the employee really have to press charges? A federal law was broken and there is ample evidence. Many, if not most laws don't require the victim to press charges.
Prosecutors are generally somewhat accommodating of victim/witness preferences, because being subpoenaed to testify in open court can be intimidating in even low profile cases. And forcing a person to testify against their will generally isn't a good trial strategy for winning cases.
The penalty for filming in Arlington is a fine and up to 6 months in jail. Jail time is very unlikely, and there's no indication of what the fine would/should be, but the bad press would be worse than any financial penalty.
Assault is a more serious crime, but the victim would need to cooperate with the prosecution. I don't know if "press charges" is the correct term, but the victim is afraid of retaliation, so I doubt any of it goes anywhere.
"Joe Biden owes the men and women that served in Afghanistan a debt of gratitude and an apology. Donald Trump loves this country and will never forget the sacrifice and bravery of our service members," she added. "Join us in putting him back in the White House."
The pathetic willful ignorance for his love of nothing but himself is old and boring. These people are pathetic.
Trump said Harris made it up and the media doesn't push back on him for saying something blatantly false. This started with the personnel involved reporting it. Harris only commented on the incident well after the fact.
I read the first two words as "Trumpy dumpty". I'm a little disappointed now.
If his movement fails, reach out to me and we’ll collaborate on a parody of the whole poem.
Why the change of heart? I thought he had total immunity? I thought he was your Glorious Leader and could do whatever he wanted? Are you just trying not to get banned for being a nazi who posts stuff like this? Pathetic cunt xD
Sorry for your loss, Trig.
Removed, civility.
