Mitt Romney Tries To Regain Offense, Offers Few Details On Bain

Benjy Sarlin

Mitt Romney offered up few new details on his role at Bain Capital and said that voters should not expect more information on his finances during a slate of primetime TV interviews.

Romney again insisted that he bore no responsibility for any investments or actions taken by Bain from 1999-2002 while he was running the Olympics, despite being listed as the company’s sole stockholder, president, CEO and chairman of the board in numerous SEC filings.

“I had no association with the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999,” Romney told ABC News. “That is when I left the firm. I am very pleased with the experience I had with the firm but as everyone knows I went on to run the Olympics for three years. I was there full time. After that I came back and ran in Massachusetts for governor.”

CBS News’s Jan Crawford asked Romney that even if he wasn’t involved in day-to-day operations at Bain, as the listed owner of the company, “Doesn’t the buck stop with you?” Romney insisted he should not be politically liable for anything that happened after 1999.
