with showing that he is lying to the american people about bain which he obviously was doing because he wouldn t have filed, they didn t file a misstatement with the sec claiming that he was he wasn t, he wasn t wait a second now. he wasn t doing a criminal act. he wasn t doing a criminal act so why did she allege it? well, because you put it in the context of he would not have done this criminal act of lying to the sec, so he must be lying to the american people when he said he had nothing to do with bain in 2001 when the sec filing says he s the ceo of bain in 2001. megyn: the president was also asked about this campaign and the ad put out by priorities usa which is the super pac supporting his candidacy that suggested mitt romney was responsible for the death of a woman who lost her health care insurance in a company that had been taken over by bain. he came out and said i do not think governor romney is responsible for that woman s death. now, his senior adv
oversee his partnership states even as he disengaged from the firm. personally signing or approving corporate and legal documents. through the spring of 2001. according to to financial reports. now, this new report adds to a pile of mounting evidence that contradicts romney s claim he left in 1999. he submitted paperwork to the s.e.c. listing himself as ceo and the president of bain. in 2001 romney s s.e.c. filing said the same thing. president and ceo of bain. but his financial disclosure field i mean, his financial disclosure filed last year signed by romney says quote, since february 11, 1999, mr. romney has not had an active role with any bain capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any bain
questions come about looking at bain capital, looking at his investments, he really invited us to look at his tenure as the ceo of bain and opened the door to this saying look how i conducted business. i m a job creator. look what i did in the private sector. then when people started looking, he started saying no, don t go this far. only look at what i want to show you. well, when he ran against senator kennedy, when he ran for governor he did not disclose his tax returns despite the precedent his father set. he did not believe he would have to. it s quite extraordinary. when john boehner says this is all about jobs and the economy, absolutely. and when we name him as a job creator a man who turns businesses around, to look at his businesses and say what tax breaks, loopholes, offshore
not sure he s that impressive. they have an opportunity to push back on this one. this is something that is it pretty clear. in 1999, he left bain. now will is some passive income. there are other deals that are forthcoming. the romney campaign needs to respond to this quickly. it s festered over a week or two now and they need to get out in front of it or at least put it to bed. why you are laughing? because it s not pretty clear, chip. you say it s clear he left in 1999 f that s the case yshgs did we spend two weeks talking about it? why can t he come up with a straight answer? how does smib retire retro actively? ed gillespie cannot provide an answer about what it means to retire retro actively. people are trying to figure out who is this guy mitt romney who we re being introduced to? in 1999 he left boston and moved to salt lake city to run the olympics. that s where he was for the couple years. he may have been flying back and forth and ceo of bain at the same time. yet he
