Corey Lewandowski did not avoid being charged because he didn't do it. He did it. The videos prove it. The prosecutors even said he did what Fields said, in that he grabbed her and violently pulled her back, and that this meets the threshold of simple assault, and he was properly charged by the police for that crime.
However, they also said that Lewandowski would have a credible defense in court: that he was defending Trump from Fields, because Fields touched Trump. The prosecutors do not accept that argument, of course: they even said Trump's security didn't think that Fields was a threat. But the question of whether Lewandowski thought he did is enough, probably, to provide reasonable doubt.
So, yeah. Lewandowski violently grabbed Fields, and then lied about it, and so did Trump.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
