1. Did you see the eyewitness report from the TV crew?

They backed up Ben Jacobs. Also gave statements to the sheriff's dept.

"At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, "I'm sick and tired of this!"

Snip

"To be clear, at no point did any of us who witnessed this assault see Jacobs show any form of physical aggression toward Gianforte, who left the area after giving statements to local sheriff's deputies.

As for myself and my crew, we are cooperating with local authorities. It is not clear if charges will be filed against Gianforte at this time. "

5. Wouldn't matter if the Pope and five cardinals backed him up, a sheriff is an elected official.

My bet is that Jacobs is charged.

12. Professional courtesy,

that is term used by LEOs. Family, friends, judges and politicians all get get one.

It is a violation of the law, the constitution and oath of office. From not writing a traffic ticket to lying to cover a crime by another person because of a relationship to that person.
