President Obama’s deputy campaign manager defended Tuesday her suggestion last week that Mitt Romney may have committed a felony when signing documents filed with the Security and Exchange Commission affirming his role as president of Bain Capital after he left to run the Winter Olympics.
“If you look at the discussion we were having, last week it was revealed that Mitt Romney signed his name on SEC documents saying he was chairman, CEO, president and full owner of Bain Capital. But he’s also telling the American people that he’s not responsible for anything that happened there. So we’re simply pointing out that both things can’t be true,” Cutter told MSNBC on Tuesday.
But Cutter said the campaign didn’t believe Romney had committed a felony — just that he was being deceptive about his ties to Bain.
“If you were signing documents to the federal government, as we all know, that you knowingly know aren’t true, that is a criminal offense,” Cutter said. “But we are not suggesting that Romney committed a crime here, we’re actually suggesting he’s not being upfront with the American people about his involvement in Bain.”
