Allred's Proposed Congressional Fishing Expedition

She wants to force Cain to testify under oath about an alleged event over 10 years ago in which he will subject to perjury if they believe he lies.  The whole idea is to force him to testify against himself, which is in violation of his rights.

What gives the Congress the authority to conduct a Grand Inquisition?

If this isn't a political witch hunt, there is no such thing.

ALLRED: Here`s what I think he should do. You know what I think? I think that the United States Senate or could be the House of Representatives should explore whether the laws against sexual harassment need to be strengthened and in their pursuit of examining what kind of legislation might be needed, they should subpoena witnesses like Herman Cain, right before the committee, let him testify under oath, under penalty of perjury, let him be asked specific questions that you, Lawrence O`Donnell, very rightly said he should be asked and more.[ emphasis added]

Where was this great demand for strengthening sexual harassment laws?  The bullshit meter is off the charts.

Update:

Kathleen Willey says that Allred didn't call her back when she asked for help during the Clinton years.

Allred is denying political motivations with respect to the Cain accusations.
