I think it probably is going too far to accuse Romney of crimes, but I don’t know the laws enough to say whether it could be true or not.

But I think it’s clear that whatever the letter of the law says, he was playing fast and loose with the spirit of the law, by remaining CEO and allowing his name to be used as such for years, then obtaining a “retroactive” retirement agreement.

This is actually the first time I’ve ever heard of a “retroactive” retirement. I guess that kind of thing is possible when you’re also the sole shareholder.

Yes, I agree. But I think the phrasing was “possible felony”
I also think the intent for that was to get Romney incensed enough to come out and try to defend himself.

He did a very poor job of that yesterday, which will only add fuel to the fire.
