This is what we need. Every Democratic Senator should be calling for the publishing of this report.
As a member of the Armed Services Committee, I am troubled by the reporting and want to see the incident report," he says.
Senators demanding report is next step here

(4,954 posts)And since the employee who was shoved will not press charges, the Army is calling it closed. Messy. Harris/Walz and allies won't let it die. DT and his staff made another big booboo.
They don't know what regret means, but if they did, they'd be feeling it now. Bastards.

(9,830 posts)Thom Hartmann reported today that the accosted staffer (a female) does not want to press charges, because she's afraid of Trump's MAGA goons.

(18,910 posts)Who could blame her? Everybody knows how dangerous those goons are, and how crossing the Orange Hellbeast can lead to death threats and more. I feel for that woman.

We should be spreading this far and wide, that yet another woman was assaulted by Trump and his goons, and is too afraid to press lawful charges for assault and battery, intimidation and anything else that fits.
Never let this go, never let one incident of Trump's idiocy be forgotten.

republicons need to stop disrespecting America's military.

(12,260 posts)Whether people accept that is another thing.
ShazzieB
(18,910 posts)It will color some people's opinions of him. Every little bit helps.
Those who see this as "fake news" or accept the account of TSF's staff were already hopeless cases.
Transparency - not only for Republicans. Frankly, I think they need a dictionary.

(3,536 posts)I really do. The super aggressive response from the campaign suggests that it was somebody more than an ordinary staffer. Both Cheung and LaCivita had something to say, so that suggests it wasn't them. I think it was Lewandowski himself. Spot on.

Maybe they didn't want to cause a scene with the families?
Maybe they felt intimidated?

(4,251 posts)Seems that not just every new detail, but every new reponse from Mr. trump's campaign takes him one jump further into the briar patch. Cable news has begun giving it airtime. I'm betting I'll see 30-60 spot about it on network national tomorrow evening.
ShazzieB
(18,910 posts)And every news story about it reminds people that TSF is a bully who has goons working for him. The more reminders the better!

(1,067 posts)The draft dodging orange turd needs to be held accountable on this. This incident was offensive to everyone in the military and their families. My father was a veteran and I'm mad about this for sure.

(1,228 posts)The Army's weakness shows when it doesn't charge and/or arrest Trump.
The Justice system shows its weakness by not addressing Trump's probation violations.
