I always thought Anita Hill was lying. The reason, she continued to work for Thomas, transferring with him through multiple agencies, and continuing to have frequent contact with him after she voluntarily left gov. that wasw not plausable. If somebody is making your life miserable with unwanted sexual harassment, you dont follow them, and actively seek to be assigned under them, you avoid them.

These stories against Cain look suspicious too. In one case, the lady never filed any formal charges. In the other, she settled out of court for 5 figures. In a suit with real merit, no plaintiff today would ever accept less than 6 figures. And Politico has yet to provide any details as to time and place, and exactly what Cain said or did. Remarks that these women might have considered “inappropriate” might have been normal banter to most sane people. It sounds like Cains lawyers decided to pay a pittance to dismiss a meritless nuisance suit, because the settlement was less than projected court costs. In retrospect, he should have taken it to court and won, but lawyers dont think like that, when they have a very small settlement offer in hand, they normally say, pay the 2 dollars.
