The Cain sexual harassment story hit a new low on Thursday when the Republican presidential candidate's newly hired lawyer issued a threat to any woman considering stepping forward with information, saying they "should think twice."

Lawyer L. Lin Wood offered no specifics about why they should think twice, but a front-page story in today's New York Times is full of clues: Less than 24 hours after she acknowledged being one of Herman Cain's alleged victims, Karen Kraushaar, a career media specialist in the federal government, was the target of a leak about a workplace complaint she filed in the early 2000s seeking permission to work at home after a car accident. In the same story, Cain's campaign notes that Wood's services will include a "research team."
