Cain Accuser's Lawyer Said Case "Leaked to Politico by a Board Member of Natl Restaurant Assoc"

The lawyer for one of the Cain accusers, Joel P. Bennett, just told the panel on Anderson Cooper's CNN show that it was "his understanding" that the allegation was "leaked to Politico from a Board member of the National Restaurant Association".

Could it have been the former President of the NRA who took over after Cain left, who is a Romney supporter?

The ex-board member is named in this post. He is a supporter of Romney.

Former President of National Restaurant Association has Ties to the Mitt Romney Campaign

Steven C. Anderson

And he is full of crap and should get his arse sued off if he did this.

[Vendome]

Without specifics this is accusation is bunk and bogus.

[chessplayer]

Big disappointment for those in here who were hoping it was Romney or Rove or some other Republican behind this.

“Ignorant post of the day alert!!! “

Really you pissant? Ask 100 people what they think of when they see NRA, and all 100 will say the National Rifle Assc.

So sue me because I didn’t read the article, like everyone else on FR at one point or another.

So piss off!

If it is the Anderson guy from the NRA, then it never ceases to amaze me how those in the elite circles feel that they can flout the laws with impunity. If Anderson used his position to access documents that he had no business reasons to see, and then leaked those documents to the press for personal political reasons, he should be gone after with the full force of the law.

We have to stop this mentality that the rule of politics trumps the rule of law.

And the answer is...Huntsman...LOL.

Or Fred Karger. ;-)

[ScottinVA]

The President is nothing more then a figurehead

Especially when he's nominating SCOTUS justices, because the GOP has such a stellar record holding the line against cloture. /s

That'd be a great development... but it's not going to happen in today's America.

[bcsco]

Rumors circulating on twitter that one of the current NRA board members is a Romney contributor.

I've seen two threads on FR that state the same.

[Diogenesis]

BS. Proof? How would he know in the first place?

He would not.
Therefore, this is coverup.
His legal aide or surrogate obviously
GAVE it to Mitt Romney’ aide or surrogate.

Joel Bennett enjoys a good scheme with John Podesta

THE REAL DEAL:

“Former President of National Restaurant Association has Ties to the Mitt Romney Campaign
Steven C. Anderson … took over the helm as Chief Executive Officer at the National Restaurant Association
Herman Cain's departure in 1999”

Whenever Team Romney had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonathan Martin has been their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

“And The Most Irresponsible Journalist Award Goes to The Politico’s Jonathan Martin!
So tell me, how do you write a “news” story about an organization paying for a speaker when you don’t even know if the organization is paying for the speaker?
Ask “journalist” Jonathan Martin. He knows all about it.
You see, Jonny wrote a piss poor story the other day about how the Iowa Family Policy Center will be paying a large speaker fee if Sarah Palin comes to Iowa to keynote the IFPC’s fall funderaiser.
The only problem is that Jonny has no sources confirming that any exorbitant fee is being charged or paid.
Jonny also got some inside info from David Kochel, who was a top aide to former (and future) presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.
Hey Dave, didn’t I just read a story about how Mitt Romney tried to buy off the Iowa Christian Alliance?
I heard you helped facilitate that little scheme. And somehow you are shocked at the thought of a well-known political figure (who very likely isn’t running for president) getting paid a speaker’s fee for (gasp) a public speaking appearance? ..
and then we’ve got Tim Albrecht quoted. He was the Iowa spokesman for Romney’s 2008 caucus campaign.”
And it always seemed like, whenever the Romney people had rumors they wanted to start about other candidates,
Jonny was their go-to guy to get those rumors in writing in front of a national audience.

[katiedidit1]

so republicans are eating their own? EVERY candidate should be totally veted before we decide who is the right man or woman for the job...too many jumped on the Bachmann train and next on Perry and Cain...research and research some more. LOOK before you LEAP! My man didn’t run...Jim Demint and btw read a blog on his site about a bipartisan MONEY spending piece of legislation that just passed. HELLO...Republicans do you hear us?

[UCANSEE2]

If you go to the National Restaurant Assoc, site and see who is in charge now, you see a bunch of lefties.

Isn't the NRA a part of SEIU ?????

[UCANSEE2]

Why would Cain jump into this and say that it could be democrats or it could be Republicans?

There are no DEMS or REPUBLICANS. There are only HAVES and HAVENOTS, and the HAVES have already decided who they want for President.

[Political Junkie Too]

Throw someone in jail for something and it might.

That’s what I’m thinking.

It’s Perry, not Mitt, who has a “Nigger Rock” outside his hunting cabin.

More accurately: Niggerhead Ranch

The communist news network looking to palinize rather than Obama-cradle Herman Cain. Stay away from these back stabbing fascist turds Mr. Cain.

[EdReform]

Romney has close, personal ties with former head of Natl Rest. Association, Dick Marriott
