The best part about this shyster, Joel whatsisname, is that he admitted to WaPo that he doesn't have any records of the case, or even a copy of the confidentiality agreement. But he accurately "remembers" all these suggestive incriminating allegations from 12 or so years ago from a minor run-of-the mill scam-case, when Cain was not even a public figure. Right.

Whatzisname, Joel Bennett .. makes you wonder if he wasn’t the original source of the leak, based on his sketchy recollection of events 12 years ago, His memory was ‘refreshed’ when he got the NRA to give him a copy of the agreement.

The media found Bennett pretty damned fast, and seem to know who his client is, too, even tho unlike the accused, her identity is being protected. There’s a very good reason our laws require the accuser to face the accused in court. But, oh, no, not in ‘journalism.’

Bennett’s first public comments were about Cain’s possibly breaching a confidentiality agreement that he wasn’t even party to (a fact Bennett seemed to have forgotten), yet I wonder if it isn’t Bennett who violated some lawyer’s ethics rules. (yes, there really is a code of ‘ethics’ for lawyers)
