Protecting the Press/Politician
[Headlines from DRJ]
Stephanie Grisham replaced Sarah Sanders as White House press secretary only recently, but Grisham reportedly has already been injured on the job.
Grisham suffered bruises when a scuffle broke out Sunday between North Korean security guards and members of the media trying to get close to President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as they met at the Demilitarized Zone, the Associated Press reported.
The new press secretary was reportedly pushing back against the guards, trying to help members of the White House press corps position themselves to cover the historic moment between Trump and Kim.
Aronberg and a deputy prosecutor who oversaw the case, Adrienne Ellis, said key evidence against charging Lewandowski was Fields’ leaving an assigned press area and entering a “protective bubble” maintained by Secret Service agents. She then reached out and “brushed or touched” Trump with her left hand. Trump “recoiled,” and Lewandowski, who was just behind them, pulled her away.
“We’re not charging him because he was reacting to what he perceived as a potential threat,” Ellis said.
The prosecutors said they’d relied on an affidavit submitted by a former FBI agent describing how Secret Service agents often created the “protective bubble” to keep unauthorized people, including the press, from the candidate, and that campaign workers often assisted in clearing a “safe pathway.“
Good press or bad press? Depends on whether they help the politician.

Is it still ok to spit on her or hound her from a dining establishment?

“We”? What do you mean “we”, kemosabe? Trump, Trump, Trump, Donald John Fredovich Trump ended up with Manafort because he needed a scam artist and bagman who could get the RNC and big money donors to give him (Trump, Trump, Trump, Donald John Fredovich Trump) an uncontested convention.
