Asked if Romney was driving a hard bargain during the negotiations, Conard said, “In part, yes, of course.” Romney legally remained the CEO and sole owner of Bain Capital until 2002, Conard added, because he was intensively negotiating his exit deal with the partners at the firm. Conard summed up Romney’s position this way: “’I created an incredibly valuable firm that’s making all you guys rich. You owe me.’ That’s the negotiation.”
I guess they must figure that’s a better way to explain it than having to answer why he would have been involved with a fetus disposal company.
