Presumably because there is a confidential settlement agreement and he is intelligent enough not to violate it.

Regrettably it probably has to be mentioned that a settlement agreement does not mean that the allegations are true, and in the vast majority of instances merely means that the settlement was less expensive than litigation.

Why regrettably? The fact is, what you wrote is more often true than false. Especially when it comes to labour matters. I have been accused of harassment by females 3 times. Each time it was done after they were fired. This was their way to "fire back". Not once was there a shred of evidence or truth in the matter, but the company chose to settle rather than deal with litigation. The policy has changed since the last time that occurred, and now my employer doesn't fold so easily.

"Regrettably" because although it should be common knowledge, seemingly many people either don't know it, or choose not to remember it.

In most civil lit like this the plaintiff is represented on a contingency basis, which means they don't pay their lawyer hourly. The defense counsel are almost always paid hourly. Thus it is usually much more expensive to defend a suit than to launch one.

And unless the suit was launched in a "loser pays" jurisdiction, which are few and far between in the US, the chances of recovering your costs are almost nil.

Absolutely, and I should have gone into the detail to have mentioned it above.

Look, every guy remembers the details of the first time for anything. For him to claim that he didn't remember the first, apparently the only time he was accused of harassment, is totally bogus and then start remembering some details then more details, I suspect after in depth discussions with his team is just digging his own grave and very Clinton-esque. Sorry I don't buy it. As for who dropped this bombshell, one of his GOP candidates gets my vote.

If he's innocent of anything, he'd have the documents released and made public.

Besides, the settlement alone to shut these women up is suspect anyways. If there was absolutely NO truth to ANY allegations, they wouldn't settle and be very confident they'd win in court.
The End.

I am no fan of Herman Cain, but I can tell that you have no clue about the litigation process of sexual harassment cases.

The End.

If he's innocent, he shouldn't have had any problems.

I am surprised that the courts even allow these cases, when they all are bogus.

Actually you mean the exact opposite. Mr. Cain has not waived confidentiality and in fact the sole power to do so rests with the National Restaurant Association.

No, I meant as in he is using the confidentiality agreement as an excuse. He can ask the NRA to waive it, so the other parties may speak, but he's hiding behind the "agreement" or was that "settlement" that he did not know about but later in the day he knew about? lol

For a guy who prides himself on managing people, money and companies, he sure is weak on details when it comes to specific examples where TWO women accused him of something INCREDIBLY serious.

I thought the weirdest thing was that the lawyer who represented the woman said he could not remember the details of the allegation or the payout when he was talking to the press. You think he might have cracked open his file before he spoke to the media.

Wouldn't he be bound by the confidentiality clause as well? He's the representative of the complainant.

If the so called "liberals" were smart and behind this, they would have waited until he had the nomination and was half way into the campaign against Obama.

Nope, if anyone is out to smear Cain, it's one of his fellow Republicans.

Yea, Anderson Cooper grilled Politico last night and it was clear the tip off came from another Republican campaign.

He would be, but he should just say that. He looks dumb and ill informed by saying I can't remember.

Nervous? The man is a CEO and an executive for how many years? If he can't stand this kind of heat and pressure how do you think he's going to do as POTUS
