>>If this is true...
Then she is WOMAN NUMBER 2<<
Actually, I think she’s woman #3, who up until now we knew only this, according to lawyer Bennett:
“In the email exchange, Bennett further disclosed that he received a telephone call from a woman named “Sharon” last week reporting that she had her own experience with sexual harassment by Cain. He said she later told him later that she did not wish to pursue the matter.”
Today he added this comment: “ He noted that the message came from a phone with a Chicago area code. ‘I think it is likely that the woman who came forward today (Sharon Bialek) is the same person who called me, last week,’ he wrote. ‘But I cannot be certain.’”
This is, I think, the 3rd woman, who is usually reported as “the one reported by the AP”, but I think that’s just AP reporting on Bennett’s 3rd woman (who now appears to be Sharon Bialek.)
I don’t think she could be the second accuser, because she reportedly got a settlement, though it’s possible I suppose. That would be a real bombshell though, and I think the NRA would report that if it were the case.
To clarify, I think #3 and #4 are one and the same almost for sure. It would be a real bombshell if she was also #2, and I think the NRA would report such if it were the case.
