Lawyer: Cain May Have Violated Confidentiality of Harassment Settlement

NPR ^ | November 1, 2011 | Liz Halloran

[MrB]

"I can tell you also that I don't represent people who are trying to shake down employers."

So HE'S the ONE attorney that won't, eh?

“I’ve known her for a long time, and she’s happily married,” Bennett said, adding: “I can tell you also that I don’t represent people who are trying to shake down employers.” .............................................................=Typical Plaintiff Lawyer speak.

So how does this lawyer know that Cain was talking about an incident that he has knowledge of?

--Lawyer: Cain May Have Violated Confidentiality of Harassment Settlement--

I think what he means to say is that Lawyer: Cain May, or may not Have Violated Confidentiality of Harassment Settlement

[MrB]

Nope, not too soon.

The left is absolutely terrified of the prospect of Cain being 0bama’s opponent.

90% of their campaign goes down the tubes right there.

Without having the agreement in hand, Bennett says he doesn't know what it specifically says about Cain's obligations under the non-disparagement and confidentiality clauses.

Another example of the unsubstantiated speculation that passes for journalism these days.

[Drill Thrawl]

A few weeks ago my wife said, “Man, MSNBC really hates Cain, he must be pretty good.”

[cuban leaf]

IOW, judge a man by the enemies he makes. :-D

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Betchas some of the checks had “Politico” on the memo line.

[Mamzelle]

by washington, does the writer mean DC or the state?

[Marie]

HE didn’t fire her. The restaurant association let her go with severance pay.

If Cain didn’t sign anything, then he’s under no obligation to maintain confidentiality, but the other person still is.

Bennett said, adding: "I can tell you also that I don't represent people who are trying to shake down employers."

I don't know if he has any legal basis considering the female's name is still confidential. BUT, watch her name to be mysteriously leaked in the near future.......

I saw this coming, Cain was caught in a two way trap, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't......

[The Shrew]

Weasel attorney or is that redundant?

98% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

[Pan_Yan]

Now it’s starting to sound like a Dem leak ...

Romney was, is, and always will be a dem.

[SierraWasp]

It wasn't a formal "settlement" but rather a simple "agreement." That is NOT a distinction without a difference!!!

Any competent lowyer should know and understand that!!!

[El Cid]

It is "inconceivable," Bennett told NPR, that his client was motivated by money,

[translation]: 'I'm not saying it isn't true - but its "inconceivable" (so don't you dare conceive of it...)'...

...or by a romantic interest in Cain.

[translation]: 'But I'll keep tossing those sexual innuendos out there, even though this doesn't have anything to do with sex...'

"I've known her for a long time, and she's happily married," Bennett said,

Fine, and I like pie...

... adding: "I can tell you also that I don't represent people who are trying to shake down employers."

[translation]: 'I could tell you that ... but it would be lying... And we lawyers never lie...'

[dfwgator]

Don’t make me write Cain another campaign check.

[org.whodat]

You can always tell when a lawyer is lying. It happens as soon as he starts talking.

[mo]

The RinoCrats are gettin’ desperate...reachin’ for technicalities...

[andy58-in-nh]

Bennett said his client, a graduate of an Ivy League university, worked in professional positions in government for many years...

"Well, there's a *****in' surprise...."
