6. odds are the Sheriff brushes the whole damn thing under the rug.

Nothing to see here folks.........

7. Chances are...

The reported will be charged with assault and trespass and Gianforte will have no charges filed against him.

8. Earlier this month a candidate for governor of PA physically went after a reporter in a public

meeting and was applauded by the others in the meeting for his macho bravery.

10. Yes, and keep this in mind:"Jon" Tester is the senior United States Senator

"Jon" Tester is the senior United States Senator from Montana, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Wikipedia

and Brian Schweitzer, Democrat, was Governor before incumbent Bullock.

12. This is key. Will the media report the truth, or repeat Gianforte's lies?

Given how journalists believe their craft should work in an ideal world, the journalists will probably just report what Gianforte said in his statement.

We will see.
