I am not an atty, but perhaps one of you here is one.

Does a non disclosure agreement such as what has been signed here bind EVERYONE in the vicinity who may have heard what went on or is it only those who signed the non disclosure agreement who are legally bound to be silent.

It would only bind those who signed it. I can see no reason why this dude would be required to sign anything. I deal with NDAs everyday and his statement is absurd.

Not a lawyer either...but of course not. A person not party to an agreement is not bound by the terms of such an agreement.

There is NO legal reason why this guy cannot tell what he saw and leave off the names.

He is fanning the flames for a reason.

I don't have to be an attorney to answer this. There is no way this guy is covered. Even if he was covered it does not matter. Nor does it matter when it comes to anyone BUT Cain. I say anyone but Cain because if he is a direct party to the agreement and says names he is going to be bashed. As far as anyone else? The agreement does not matter much unless it is an agreement that falls under a court order. That does not appear to be the case here so anyone (even Cain if he wanted to) can say whatever they like. Because the reality is that the country is full of rich leftist Democrat lawyers who will do two things. One, they will make sure that the women involved will never have a legal problem (pro bono)and two, they will make sure that the women involved are compensated beyond their wildest dreams.

I'd note that Cain has not named names. Which makes the one lawyers assertions that Cain has broken the agreement a total crock. The lawyer has stated he does not have the agreement in hand and does not know what it says. How then could he even know Cain is talking about his client? Especially if there is supposed to be more than one woman?

With all that said Cain either has a campaign killing situation here because the media will bash him in to the ground or he will come out of this way on top.

Several things will happen next. One, there will be an accuser that will come forward. After she is prepped by lawyers, PR and media types. Two, Herman Cain's wife and family will step forward. The latter should have already happened and that is a red flag right now. The fact that his wife has not come forward is distressing.

Most corporations have general non-disclosure policies that employees sign as a condition of hiring, that they won't disclose company confidential information they become privy to during their employment. They may not be a party to this specific NDA, but the NRA might be able to go after someone for violating the general employment NDA.
