A lawyer representing one of the women who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s released a statement Friday after receiving approval from the National Restaurant Association. Despite the association’s permission for her to speak candidly, the statement did not included details of the allegations.

Attorney Joel Bennett, who represents one of the two women who filed complaints while Cain was the association’s CEO, said that the presidential candidate engaged in a “series of inappropriate behaviors,” but that his client “has chosen to not relive the details.”

Translated-
Create a story with no details.
Let the media create a false storyline.
Let imaginations run wild.
Step away never having to defending creating the story in the first place.

I hope Cain takes Trump’s advice and sues the hell out of this lawyer. Force him to reveal this “woman”. Personally, I don’t believe she exists.

She dropped her complaint years ago for some quick money. Remember when Paula Jones settled after fighting Clinton for years and the Clinton hit squad said “See, if there was anything to it she wouldn’t have settled. It was all about the money”.

The unfair thing here is taking another shot at Cain many years after you took the money.

It's better for Cain's opponents to keep the story going if we don't get the specifics about his non-sexual hand gestures and suggestive comments.
That way all his opponents can think and assume the worst and keep the specualtion and attacks coming..

Just like Tawana Brawley?

Cain accuser attorney: Client sees ‘no value’ in revisiting issue

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2802657/posts

This is Cain winning. Complete abject surrender to Cain by the smear bots. They were offered the chance to defend their accusations in the open and the smearbots ran.

Now the question remains, who shopped the smear around to Politico? I suspect Romney and Rove are the authors. Both of the them have a history of these sort of sleazy political tactics

Why doesn’t Cain ask the NRA if he can reveal HIS side of the story? If they gave the woman permission, they surely will give it to Cain.

Key difference ...

She doesn’t want to speak...why not? If it is the truth it isn’t slander.

For her to speak now about trumped up allegations that she filed as if they were real...she would be sued.

I just wonder if these allegations are some of those considered evil crimes against women back in the heyday of the “sexual harassment revolution” and aren’t seen as such a big deal anymore. When “sexual harassment” made its big debut, it was a capital offense for a CEO to ask his secretary to get him a cup of coffee or “doctor his tea”.

This whole thing is such bull crap that it stinks worse then the Occupy “movements” around the country.

They give this women the OK to release the info and her attorney says that she won’t release anything about the situation now but now it’s multiple incidences. I say this whole thing is nothing but made up charges to hurt Herman Cain.

The Ruling Class has decided to save her for the general election vs Obama.

They’ll pick the most strategic time in terms of when to attack Cain and then trot her out before the cameras.

They’ve realized this issue isn’t working with Republican primary voters and so they have decided to save this weapon to use in the general election with independents.
