Wow, you really have your facts messed up pall.

You must have missed the NRA’s statement that supported Cain’s version of things.

There was a complaint (Kraushaar), it was investigated internally and found without merit and this woman was let go with an agreement and no where did they say it was a harrassment settlement agreement - but FReeprs like you ran with that meme. Cain was never even party to that agreement.

Apparently L. Lin Wood’s investigation has turned up more, because he is confirming it was a termination agreement, not “hush money”.

Second, and I hate to burst your bubble here too, there is no proof there even WAS a second agreement. The NRA did not confirm that. All we have on that is Politico had a 3rd party source on another woman but she (if she even exists) never came forward. So until we have confirmation on the NRA that there was a 2nd complaint, then I’m not buying it, sorry.

Because that is another case of: but so and so heard so and so made a complaint! And it sounds like you fell for that too.

Cain was not the company; he's not going to be a party to the agreement. That's how an internal sexual harassment claim works.

I wrote about how, as an attorney, I can call the settlement anything that the two attorneys agree to call it. If I'm the woman and I'm settling without going public, I don't care what it's called. If I'm leaving the company, I don't care if it's called severance or a termination without cause. That's only an issue with respect to unemployment benefits.

If I'm the company, of course I don't want to call the agreement a settlement of a sexual harassment claim - because then I can say in attorney weasel words that the company didn't pay to settle sexual harassment. My clients have settled many of claim of different kinds without calling them what they actually were. Haven't yours?

And do you really think the company is going to admit sexual harassment? Of course its internal investigations on paper showed no merit. That's why they paid a full year's salary (yeah, right; that's *always* done when there's no merit). If you have a paper trail where you *found* merit to sexual harassment claims, do you realize how much more money other claims that result in a lawsuit and go to discovery are worth?

Sounds like you fell for it and don't understand how the game is played. You ran with the meme.
