“So not once,” Crawford pressed, “you don’t remember a board meeting, you don’t remember talking about whether or not there should be outsourcing jobs overseas? Do you remember any involvement with Bain Capital from 1999 on?”

“Jan I had no involvement with the management of Bain Capital after February of 1999,” Romney said.
