You know what they say about indictments and ham sandwiches....
This suggests the story was not nearly as damning as DP Trumpists tried to make it. Grand juries do not often fail to return an indictment. It means they didn't even see probable cause.

From the article:
A probable cause affidavit states Lenzner's wife told him to wear the "Make America Great Again" hat throughout the night "so she can see how people treat him." She said they walked to multiple bars in Portland, according to court documents. Okuneye said Lenzner came out of the bar, used an expletive and said, "B****, do you like my hat," . . .
Hauser stated that he disagreed with the political statement of the hat and his group was "mean mugging" Lenzner, when Lenzner asked if they liked his hat. In security footage, Lenzner can be seen pointing to his hat and saying something as he left. A probable cause affidavit states Lenzner told police when Okuneye would not back away, he pushed her back to create distance. Lenzner confirmed to police that he pushed Okuneye, according to court documents. He also reported that after doing so, Hauser punched him in the face with a closed fist unexpectedly. A probable cause affidavit states Hauser told officers he didn’t know how Lenzner got a bloodied nose, saying, “Arms were flying everywhere.” Lenzner’s wife reported both Okuneye and Hauser punched her husband. Lenzner told police that he then backed up and took a “fighting stance” to defend himself, according to court documents.
He went out trying to start trouble, taunted the two with "Bitch, do you like my hat" and the like, then goes to the police after he succeeds in provoking a scuffle. Bait and report, as it were.
He was the a-hole.
