re: Fox News reporter gives first hand account of Gianforte's assault on reporter

You don't think the sheriff looked at all the available evidence before filing charges?

I don't think the sheriff was stupid enough to not turn this over to a judge and jury no matter what he thinks happened, anything else puts him at the center of a media firestorm.

I would bet a good deal that if the pol files a complaint today the reporter gets charged as well, just the smart way to play it for the sheriff.
