So why this from Mr. Cain's attorney earlier today?
Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults - a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The publics right to know and the medias right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of ones bedroom door.
He’s keeping his powder dry so he can sue her for slander.
The attorney used the word “accusation”. That is not an admission of guilt.
This statement to me sounds like a hint to a defamation lawsuit.
As a public figure under New York Times v. Sullivan, Cain cannot successfully bring a defamation action unless he can show the defendant was motivated by "actual malice".
Do you really think Lin Wood doesn't know his business?
Because that is how lawyers always talk. I have dealt with them and they like this sort of technical stuff. At times it is frustrating because you point out that they are not talking of the merit of the case when it is easily in your favor but making you look bad, and their response is that they are simply making a case for the point not to be heard even if true although it is not true.
that leaves 2 possibilities.
1. Cain is guilty of “something”
2. Cain is surrounded by idiots that he refuses to fire.
