I’m still sort of mad at Cain. He’s playing catch-up, they’ve put him on the defensive and he could have avoided all this by early on in his campaign disclosing that this would probably be brought up. Instead he claims “no skeletons” in his closet.

According to Politico, they approached Cain Team nearly 2 weeks [Oct 20] before publishing the first allegations [Oct 30].

Team Cain KNEW what was coming, but seemingly, chose to ignore it. Per Politico, Cain Campaign VP of Communications Gordon responded by email to Politico on Oct 24.

YOu need to stop spreading this liberal LIE.

Cain has responded to this over and over, there was absolutely no detail in Politico’s article.

How do you respond to something as vague as this? How do you go on the record when you have no idea who is accusing you and what they are accusing you of? So his team answered as vaguely as possible.

He did not know if he were under a confidentiality agreement or anything. And, in fact it was proven Friday he was never a party to this agreement with this accuser, whatever it was.

We all know Cain is not your guy but stop lying about him in attempts to boost your own candidate.

You are quoting politico - why?

[nakutny]

They didn’t seemingly choose to ignore it. They stated they chose to ignore it because it was anonymous.

Team Cain KNEW what was coming, but seemingly, chose to ignore it.

For a Freeper you are surprisingly ill informed.

From his own lips.......... Cain made a conscious decision not to respond to anonymous accusations.

“Team Cain KNEW what was coming, but seemingly, chose to ignore it.”

On the technicality, yes you are correct in that they came to the campaign 10 days prior but on substance you are totally wrong. Politico, on its own admission only gave them a heads up about a SH law suit settlement story they were working on. The campaign came out within hours and said it was false. Now that we have 20/20 hindsight, what is incorrect about that?

Only after Politico started to release some of the details, we learned the same time the campaign did, again by Politico’s own admission, it was a termination agreement, and Cain was also told the accuser had paid the attorney’s fees. Cain recused himself from any involvement of the investigation and subsequent result of the matter so how in the hell is he supposed to know exactly what is in the agreement to comment on?

His calling the Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Settlement was in fact entirely correct because there never was one. The releases from the campaign were entirely on point and on focus as to the changing details of the allegations as only Politico and the attorney were willing to release.

When the NRA agreed to release the complaintant from the NDA, in essence calling their bluff because the attorney never contacted the NRA to request it, the attorney backed out and would not move forward with it.
