Then give us one document, one phone call, one meeting attended, one shred of evidence that he was at the helm of Bain actively running the company...Not this speculation cobbled together from he said/she said sourcing that really proves nothing at all.

You're wasting your time SF.
They have no desire to see anything that they don't want to see.
Their entire intent is not to discuss; but instead is to wait for someone else to make a comment and then try to tear it apart, all the while ignoring any facts that go against their preconceived ending.
Totally. And the Rmoney camp is totally unconcerned. That's why he did a hastily scheduled media blitz and agreed to more network interviews to be held today than he has given in months combined.

Romney Interview Directly Contradicts His Previous Statements About Bain Tenure
Mitt Romney told CBS News‘s Jan Crawford Friday evening that he did not attend Bain Capital meetings after he left the company in February of 1999 to run the Winter Olympics. But this answer appears to contradict sworn testimony he delivered in 2002 “as part of a hearing to determine whether he had sufficient residency status in Massachusetts to run for governor”:
– 2002: “[T]here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth.”
– 2012: “I was in Salt Lake City for three straight years. I don’t recall even coming back once to go to a Bain or management meeting. We were, I was out there running the Olympics and it was a full time job, I can tell you that.”
“Jan, I had no involvement with the management of Bain Capital after 1999,” Romney insisted on Friday.
UPDATE: The Boston Globe reports “The Romney campaign declined to comment on the record about whether the business trips and board meetings were related to Bain Capital obligations.”

Bain Press Release Claims CEO Romney Is On ‘Part-Time Leave’ To Run Olympics | The Romney campaign has claimed that the former Massachusetts governor cut all ties with Bain Capital when he left to run the 2002 Winter Olympics in February of 1999, but a press release from July of 1999 seems to contradict this account. “Bain Capital CEO W. Mitt Romney” is “currently on a part-time leave of absence to head the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee for the 2002 Games,” the release, uncovered by Daily Kos’ Jed Lewison, states, "The document announces the departure of two Bain managing directors. In 1999, Romney himself had stated that he would “stay on as a part-timer with Bain providing input on investment and key personnel decisions.”
