Believe me, a lawyer who defends these cases can make just as strong an argument the other way.
To put this all on Cain when he didn’t start it, and the women clearly spoke to Politico and broke teh agreements first, is completely unfair.
A VERY VERY BIG POINT: I have never heard anyone say that Cain agreed to keep anything confidential. The women signed a release in return for the money, it is very likely no one thought to ask Cain or the company to remain quiet.
The Restaurant Association not only released the woman from the non-disclosure provision, but themselves, too. They are now free to dump the entire sealed contents of the proceedings, including notes during disclosure, attorney correspondence, NRA internal discussions, etc.
The RATs just want to use the name of the real woman, and supply the rest via fabrication and innuendo. They expect Cain to then roll over. This is not his case, but he can now demand access to all of the documents now, too. The last thing this slimy RAT-front lawyer wants is a real document dump, which would show them bluffing with a pair of deuces.
The woman is still not coming forward because she knows she'll be burned by the state media whether or not it hurts Cain. She knows enough to realize Politico and its handlers not only can't offer her legal protection, but will be the ones that actually ruin her, legally.
Remember, Monica Lewinsky would probably have been just another unexplainable suicide, like "poor Vince Foster", except for the protection her blue dress provided. Keeping everything sealed is the only health insurance this other woman has.
The woman lawyer is clearly talking out of her ass.
She doesn’t have copies of anything - the agreements, the charges, etc.
just a “leftist lawyer” - worthy of an AG like Holder who doesn’t even read laws (like AZ) before making legal comments. No decent lawyer gives opinions without data. (Half don’t even give opinions WITH data.)
They are ridiculous. Not even worthy of attention.
By the way - they have had plenty of time to speak up, and be bribed for it. Logically - it is very obvious why they haven’t. They’ve got nothing. Innuendo is their strongest hand. They have played it.
According to one woman’s attorney, Cain did not sign anything and in at least one of the cases, he was no longer with the company when the agreement was reached.
