Politico is reporting that the Palm Beach County DA will not prosecute Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski for assaulting former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields.

Once this is announced we can expect Trump to send out some juvenile tweets calling Fields’ character into question and calling upon her to be prosecuted either for assault or for filing a false police report.

But as I argued nearly five weeks ago the Trump campaign left Fields with no other choice after they refused to apologize to her for the incident let alone acknowledge it happened. Of course, when video emerged that Lewandowski had in fact grabbed Fields their spin was that he had rescued Trump from a would be assassin. 

If Donald Trump and his campaign team possessed an ounce of decency there would be no story. But when you can’t acknowledge wrong doing and cut your losses molehills turn into mountains. By tomorrow afternoon the Trump campaign will have added another thousand feet to it. The point has been reached where the Trump campaign will need sherpas to help make their way to Cleveland.
