So, the Politico claims there were two settlements based on anonymous sources... but former chairs of the Nat. Restaurant Association don’t even know about it? (And Politico’s counsel probably told their hit men Journolistas that even if the chairmen did know, that they couldn’t comment... all to heighten the sense of “guilt” by suggestion). Seems very, very fishy.
It also seems like Politico is using the one actual (alleged) harassment case- which the Politico article notes Cain won, and that the woman had to pay his attorney fees- in a sneaky, suggestive way of implying that it was the supposed “settlement” case.
And even if there was a settlement, as this blog notes: “To be fair to Cain, allegations of this sort can be made and settlements can be reached on the advice on corporate counsel even if the question of fault is ambiguous”. (IOW, it’s not a court case, so the allegations aren’t put forth before a jury to assess factual credibility):
