What sunk Cain to me (and I was inclined to support him) was when he revealed that he had not told his wife about the money he gave to the last accuser.
How he thought he could keep that bottled up is beyond comprehension. He should have cleared his past with his own wife before running. Showed a major lapse in judgement and a complete unawareness of the meat grinder he was entering. Stupid.
I’d wager he trusted his friend to do the right thing. I know I’ve helped people in the past, and there isn’t anyone who knows what I’ve done other than that person, me and God.
For me, I think it’s telling that she was unwilling to reveal the contents of what Cain wrote to her. If there’s smoke, then let’s see them. Cain was willing to open them all up, which tells me that he was pretty sure there wasn’t anything there.
Now, for those of you who weren’t there - Cain’s grandchildren were receiving death threats. That is why he pulled out, to protect his family. Even his own bodyguard resigned, stating that he wanted Cain to have even more protection than he could provide.
I see a whole lot of circumstantial evidence, with nothing solid.
