I think people are missing her message. What I heard is that she stands by her complaint, he lied about it and now she has permission to talk but she doesn’t want to. I suspect, judging by the way he has handled this so far, he will force her hand.
I think you’re missing the whole point. He didn’t sign any agreement. That comes straight from her attorney. But he’s still obligated to not talk about it because he’s part of the agreement.
Yet he didn’t open this can of worms; she and her attorney did. If anyone is in violation of the confidentiality clause, they are, not Herman Cain. All he’s done is respond to very minimal, very vague, allegations. So are you now trying to get more life out of this? Are you trying to pile on when the alleged accuser is shutting up? Are you? Are you that small?
I deeply hope so. He can do it by suing Politico without directly attacking her. She would have to be called to testify.
