Cain camp considering legal action against Politico

[Tx4obama]

A Herman Cain aide said Thursday that the Cain campaign is considering its legal options over the original Politico story, which revealed that the former head of the National Restaurant Association was accused of sexually harassing at least two women during his tenure in the 1990s.

“This is likely not over with Politico from a legal perspective,” a campaign official told the Post, stopping short of explaining what exactly he meant by taking legal action against the publication.

Politico’s Executive Editor, Jim VandeHei said in a statement:

“We have heard nothing from the Cain campaign. We stand confidently behind every story Politico reporters have written on the topic.”

p.s. This is ridiculous. Politico only told the truth. THERE WERE sexual harassment accusations made, and there was a financial settlement. You'd think that last thing the Cain folks would want is a court case that would bring out EVERY dirty detail of what happened.

6. For what? Telling the truth?

Can't wait to see this in court.

10. It will never go to court

Cain is just trying to raise doubts about the Politico story, I think he knows taking this to court would backfire on him big time and I doubt he has any real intention to go there. Threatening to go to court however is an easy way to make people question the Politico story, it is pure politics with no intent of follow through.

12. Exactly. There's no libel or slander, they didn't say he did it, they said he was accused

13. Do it Cain. Politico reported an incident that is obviousy true.

It would be thrown out.

14. Whenever someone says they're 'considering legal action' it seems a good bet there won't be any. n/t
