Lawyer: Cain accuser wants to tell her side of story
One of the women who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment wants to tell her side of the story but is barred by a confidentiality agreement, her attorney in Washington said Tuesday.

Lawyer Joel P. Bennett called on the National Restaurant Association, where the woman and Cain worked in the late 1990s, to release the woman from her written promise not to talk about the allegations or disparage the trade group.....


Bennett represents one of the two women, who attended an Ivy League school and now works for the federal government. She has avoided the limelight since the allegations were aired, and she is staying with relatives while the media stakes out her home in suburban Maryland, Bennett said.

If she is released from the confidentiality ban, “then it is whole new ballgame,” Bennett said.

1. Looks for the Cain campaign to change "tell" to "sell"
And smear her even more.

2. The big Romney money will probably be working hard behind the scenes to "make this happen."
I give her a lot of credit for having the courage to be willing to speak up.

3. If they discuss it
She should be able to defend herself. If he is telling outright lies (look at where his eyes shift and you can tell he is LYING), then she should be able to tell the truth.

Cain is done - not that he was ever really in it to win it, he just wants to sell books. He is completely and utterly unqualified to be the next "singing president wannabe".

These clowns make me SICK. Hypocrites, all of them!

Transparency - SHINE THE LIGHT and watch them run!

Obama 2012 - every vote COUNTS or we will end up with this garbage running our country!

Annette (feisty today)
