The Daily Names One Cain Accuser, And She Works In The Obama Administration

Business Insider ^ | 11/08/2011 | Zeke Miller

The Daily, the tablet newspaper, named one of the women who filed a sexual harassment claim against Republican front-runner Herman Cain while he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association.

The woman, identified by the paper as Karen Kraushaar, now works as communications director at the Treasury Department's Office of the Inspector General.

Cain has sought to downplay the charge — calling it frivolous — saying she overreacted to a gesture comparing her height to his wife's.

But the paper spoke to friends and family members of Kraushaar who vouch for her honesty — saying she is not the type to bring false allegations.

“She wouldn’t be the type to make false allegations,” brother-in-law Ned Kraushaar, a Georgia software consultant, told The Daily. “This happened [more than] 10 years ago. It’s not like she wanted to try and hurt the Republican Party.”

Joel Bennett, her attorney, held a press conference on Friday to say that his client would not speak publicly.

"You can always tell when the media is on somebody's side - they run out and get glowing quotes from the person's friends and family about how wonderful they are.

I don't remember anybody ever asking Larry Sinclair's brother for a quote about the wonderfulness of Larry.

BINGO!

Lol, Freerepublic has been giving James O’Keefe a run for him money lately.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

That nose looks pretty incriminating.

[cookcounty]

So she is the wife or former wife of Kevin Kraushaar that are on facebook. A bunch of youn Kraushaars on facebook, most seem to be in the DC area.

In Bialek’s case the question is whether she’s the sort to make false accusations. In the case of the two who got settlements, that might be a question, too, but the main question is are they the prickly sort of feminist who would get all huffy and take gentlemanly, friendly, jocular, flirtatious remarks or behavior,. . . as a reason for regarding themselves as “sexually harassed”.

[NautiNurse]

She looks like Mr Bean in drag.

LOL! Good catch!

Here’s Karen’s facebook:

Under “Favorite quotations” she has three. The top one is:

“If you are not making news, others will make news about you.”

She also was a journalism student U?Mich., so, living in DC, I’m sure she’s well connected to the Politico bunch.
