So many are calling Cain a liar or worse for not remembering a second settlement with a woman whom he allegedly “sexually harassed.” How could he not know of a settlement?
Details are dribbling out which support the conclusion that Cain was not involved and would not have known about that settlement, just like he has been saying, as reported by CBS News:
The settlement agreement between the National Restaurant Association and a woman who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment was reached in September 1999–and was not signed by Cain himself, according to Joel Bennett, a lawyer for the woman.Bennett, who has a copy of the settlement agreement, said four people signed it: the woman, two lawyers representing the association and Bennett himself.Bennett said the agreement was resolved relatively quickly, about two or three months after she complained.That means it may have been reached after Cain left the association, and Bennett said it’s conceivable that Cain didn’t even know about it.
And do not expect any facts from this accuser:
Bennett plans to issue the statement in his name, not in his client’s name. It will not identify her, nor will it detail specific events of sexual harassment or the amount of settlement.
What a complete journalistic and conservative blogospheric fiasco this has become.
