Attorney for Cain accuser: Cain is lying

(CNN) – A woman who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment believes the presidential hopeful is lying, her attorney said Tuesday night.

"She's been very upset about this since the story broke last Sunday, because Mr. Cain has been giving the impression she came out and made false allegations," lawyer Joel Bennett said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360."

He also maintained that the case was resolved in a sexual harassment settlement, not a termination agreement, as Cain has described in the last two days when talking about one of the cases.

She wants to go public with her side of the story, he said, but she's confined to a confidentiality agreement with the National Restaurant Association, where she made the charges against Cain in the late 1990s. At the time, Cain was president of the group.

Bennett said he has not contacted the organization but has suggested through the media that the NRA waive the confidentiality agreement, freeing the woman to talk.

"Until they do that, she's not going to speak out," Bennett said.

I would say she’s already spoken out. Someone talked.

"Until they do that, she's not going to speak out," Bennett said.

"Until they do that, this case isn't worth 1/500th of what the DNC is offering me" Bennett said.

The Cain campaign needs to get ahead of this by getting everything out in the open.

Herman Cain should stick to the law. Confidentiality clauses are there for a reason such as this. Case closed.

Maybe he needs to temporarily hire Billy Jeff as a mouthpiece, or just tell them to FOAD.

That’s OK. I remember when the Gennifer Flowers scandal broke about a year before the election. I knew it would catapult Clinton’s name to the forefront and would promptly be forgotten in time for the election. It worked exactly so.

They will not stop until he is down and buried. I smell Willard all over this. Watch for the congresional hearing to be called and his “anita hill” give superstar status. This is sick and irritating. Whoever was advising Cain has done him no favors... less is more Herman STFU about this. They will burry you with your own words.

Cain should do what the Iron Duke did.

“Publish and be ****ed!”

They did the same stunt on him when he was running for parliament.

The money offers are FLOODING in to this shyster at this very moment - from the Soros Left and from Rovian RINOs on the Mittens payroll. She WILL have a press conference. Whether that’s tomorrow, next week or next month, it is inevitable.

I have quit watching and listening to radio and TV news programs till this s%^t blows over. BO has a horrible anti-American past. Cain and Republicans should start talking about it.

This is about hating a (conservative) black man in the White House . . . ?

Cain said “I can’t give you a definitive answer on that until we consult with our legal attorneys”

Is there any other kind - of attorney, that is?
Fashion attorneys? Dental attorneys? Zoological attorneys? Biblical attorneys?

"Nothing overtly sexual..." in the early reports, but now this has morphed into one of Bill Clinton's sort of 'episodes', only the media is still huffing and puffing, trying to inflate that balloon.

They are firing for effect, but there still aren't any damned FACTS.

Not like that ever stops them.

They just practiced whipping the public into a frenzy on circumstantial 'evidence', and now they are going to try it on he said/she said sort of gossipy allegations.

Well, MSM, trot out some facts, not suppositions, not "I think..yadayadayada" crap, but facts. If you don't have that, you ain't got sh*t.

I challenge every FReeper to use every avenue at their disposal, Facebook, Twitter, email etc. and fight like there is no tomorrow. Yes, I get Cain might not be our nominee but for Petes Sake he is one of ours. He will have no help in the establishment (which is the MSM) No one is talking on his behalf. That is why he is on everywhere. Who will uphold his good name. US. Get up, Get loud and Get Busy
