I agree. It depends on what the texts say. The only reason for releasing a text would be to establish a some kind of minimal relationship...I know him and he knows me well enough for us to text each other.
If that’s all the texts show, then I’m sypathetic to Cain’s comment that he “thought she was a friend.”
If they show more than that, then it means the lady has gotten angry with him over something immediate. If it’s been an affair for 13 years, then she could have gained by being quiet...especially if Cain became president.
Another possibility is that the news media (or someone) found her and she’s being bought for what she would think is big bucks.
And how does someone release a text message? Unless the alleged messages are still on her phone, what proof would there be? Is simply typing something up and printing it out going to suffice as "evidence"? (probably yes for the dems)
