why doesn't mitt just introduce the person/persons that ran bain capital from 1999 on?

surely the person/persons would be glad to step forward and explain

that through the years in question, they made the decisions for bain capital and mitt was not at all involved.

put it all to rest.

Bain's silence on this is to save their own asses. Not his.

And then he would have to explain why for three years their names weren't on the SEC forms.

he signed the filings saying he was in charge. He is caught. He has committed a felony.
