Democrats Revive Attack That Romney Misstated Role at Bain

“Either Mitt Romney was lying on SEC forms and misrepresenting to his investors — which could be a felony — that he was the sole owner, president, CEO of Bain Capital from 1999 until almost the end of 2001, or he wasn’t and represented that he was,” Wasserman Schultz said. “It can’t be both. And so if he was sole owner, president, CEO, then he is to be held accountable for the decisions that were made for the outsourcing of jobs that took place during that time.”

Romney’s campaign has dismissed the felony suggestion as absurd after the Obama campaign official Stephanie Cutter tried it out last week. Romney’s spokespeople had nothing new to say about Wasserman Schultz’s remark. Even the liberal writers on the New York Times editorial board said that Cutter “did go too far, perhaps, in suggesting Mr. Romney may have legal problems over this issue.” The paper said Obama’s “criticism is fair,” though, because Romney won’t disclose his finances
