If Obama faced similar allegations, the liberal media would label the accusers opportunists and demand to know their identities. Fact is, the liberal media has no credibility, as they practice selective outrage and exist largely to protect Obama.
By the way, just who is attorney Joel Bennett??? Google search shows him kissing up to Clinton/Obama, hatchet man, John Podesta!!! Anybody got the real skinny on this character???
Who is footing the bill for Bennett’s services? The cient of years ago ? I don’t think so.
Apparently his puppet masters didn’t tell him that part of it. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
oh, my goodness! Bennett’s pay is the publicity! To him, worth its weight in gold. And he sure wrung it for all it was worth, didn’t he?
Bennett’s association with Podesta seems a little odd if, as is so often written about, the Clinton group has little use for Obama and they’d rather see Hillary! give it another run. Why would their hatchet man try to help Obama? But then, again, it may have been seen as a good thing for the Dems, overall? Had it worked, of course, it would have been a good thing for them, but not necessarily helpful to Hillary! Politics just makes the strangest bedfellows!
All I “know” about Bennett is that he’s an employment specialist. At one time he represented the union of the DC police. He may still. And he’s apparently a self-appointed expert on discerning sexual harassment in the work place. Another poster pointed out that he was president of the DC Bar (actually, the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, a different entity from the DC Bar). He has been a candidate in the past for positions in the DC Bar (don’t know if he was elected or not). That points to a certain political ambition, if not electoral political ambition.
Maybe that is because Me. Cain did nothing untoward to anyone. It was a failed media lynch job!
I think Cain should sue their asses off (or at least threaten to.)
Podesta has long ago moved on from the Clinton camp. He heads his own far left wing think tank group!!! They are left of the communist party. Podesta, IMHO, is tight with Obama and usually allies in lock-step with MoveOn.org. Attorney Joel Bennett is hooked in some way to Podesda, I just cannot find out the facts!!! But.....you can bet your bottom dollar that attorney, Joel Bennett is as left-wing as any human being can become!!! Will keep hunting!!!
And you’re right. All I can say is if someone accused me of something I didn’t do, I’d want the accuser to be Jonathan Martin. :)
Now the NRA has said it would drop the confidentiality clause and Bennett says his client doesn't want to talk. What is keeping him from talking now? He has copies of the complaint and settlement papers.
Doesn't pass the smell test.
“five figure” was probably 2 or 3 months salary. Peanuts compared to lawyer’s fees if it went to court. Settling spurious claims is almost a part of doing business these days.
The law is very plain. If a man or woman has consentual sex with a person of lower rank, it’s sexual harrassment. Clinton signed it into law. Then promptly broke it.
My recollection is NEARLY as vague as Bennett’s, but I’m pretty certain there are TWO Podesta brothers who run in those lib/Dem circles. John and ?? I think it’s the brother who started and may still run “People for the American Way.”
It was begun during the Reagan years as a holding tank for libs awaiting the next Dem Administration. They’re tied in with every left wing group known to God and man.
That he did. Absolutely!
How do you know? There are no facts on the table. No identified persons. No specific allegations. No released documents.
I’ve seen enough of Mr. Cain to be able to read his character. I’ve seen nearly all his speeches and read his boo, “This is Herman Cain”, and I think I am safe in saying that Mr. Cain, being a fine Christian family man with a very good upbringing, has never done anything rude or inappropriate to anyone.
There are pictures of Joel Bennett with either Biden or Obama......hmmmm.
AMEN!! Worth REPEATING!
