we have advised Mr. Bennett that we are willing to waive the confidentiality of this matter and permit Mr. Bennett’s client to comment. As indicated in Mr. Bennett’s statement, his client prefers not to be further involved with this matter and we will respect her decision.

So Mr. Bennet has been out there feeding this frenzy against the will of his client?

Isn't he guilty of violating the confidentiality agreement?

Can his client sue him?

IIRC, Bennett was first heard of by commenting the Cain had possibly breached the confidentiality agreement, then pimped the story all week. Of course, as a non-party to the agreement, Cain was not bound by anything.

It seems to me that Bennett himself may have violated some of the DC Bar’s rules governing attorney conduct. Rather than a lawsuit, maybe a grievance should be filed there. Anyone can file such a grievance against any member of the bar, it doesn’t have to be a client or party to any litigation or situation involving that lawyer.

Whether a grievance, if filed, would be investigated or prosecuted even if there are grounds, is another story. If Bennett is ‘big’ enough in the legal community, they won’t touch it.
