Judge sets 2nd hearing
on request to unseal Romney
testimony in Staples
founder’s divorce case

Associated Press, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:Scottyboy, 10/24/2012 11:23:01 AM

CANTON, Mass. — A Massachusetts probate judge will hold another hearing Thursday before deciding whether to unseal testimony that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave in the divorce case of Staples founder Tom Stemberg. Ex-wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan appeared in court Wednesday with lawyer Gloria Allred. They said they didn’t object to a Boston Globe motion to lift an impoundment order on Romney’s testimony in the case from the early 1990s.

Comments:
This is the Allred sideshow. Still don't know exactly where this ding-bat is going with all this.

This is how Obama got Jack Ryan out of the Illinois senate race, unsealing his divorce records. Hopefully this judge has more stones, but I doubt it.

Straight out of the Obama playbook !
He did the same thing to the opposition when running in Chicago..Obama whore Allred ready to do his bidding.
ANYTHING to get the focus off the fact that Obama lied to the American people about the Embassy killings..Obama knew it was AlQueda, knew the killings were happening and went to bed.
Americans are in severe danger, because the media is helping Obama continue the lies. NO ONE is looking out for our safety under this administration.

Allred and Obama are messing with the wrong person. Romney don't play Chicago games.

There is no legal reason for the divorce records to be made public other than for the naked political goal of finding something to embarrass Romney with. There is nothing profitable for both sides of the divorce for the proceeding to be made public. If Gloria AllRed succeeds in doing so, it will open a whole can of worms for others to follow suit. This will make politics especially Chicago-dirty and set any hope of bipartisanship back just to keep NeroBama in power.

I don't see how Romney's testimony in someone else's divorce case is germane to the election, but go ahead Gloria, you irrelevant hack.

I think the intent is to show that Romney lied on the stand about the true worth of Staples stock. Good luck with that one. Romney and Romney's lawyer have already said they don't care if the testimony is released.

Romney is represented by the ultimate Boston powerhouse law firm, Ropes and Gray. Little Gloria is not going to be happy at last that she tangled with this crew.

Did Gloria solicit this bitter hag to be her client? How many of the rules of professional responsibility has she broken? Why is she still licensed to practice law?

10 to 1 there is nothing there and Romney won't object. I expect it was sealed because there was sensitive financial and business information about Staples that they didn't want Staples' competitors to know. From the 90's? Pretty stale by now. Perhaps someone could sue Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard for all of Obama's records. Oh, and his passport files might be interesting as well.


Reply 9 - Posted by: killerbee, 10/24/2012 11:43:17 AM     (No. 8957991)

Allred's client is unstable, she's obsessed with the Romney's, and there's nothing "juicy" there at all.

I suspect the judge is giving this another day so it can stay in the media longer. The mystery is better than the truth. I'd love for the ex-husband and Romney to just say, "go ahead, unseal them, fine by me," so everyone involved has egg on his/her face.

This is about an ex-wife with a documentary and "tell all" book to sell. Someone who managed her divorce awards poorly and wants more. An honest media would snub her entirely. We don't have that.

Early 90's? The case was brought in 1987 and the record sealed in 1989 how is that "The early 90's"?

Classic dirty pool: If the records stay sealed, the Dems claim it's because there is some deep, dark, ugly secret in them. If they are unsealed it will provide fodder for a two-week witch hunt as every word Romney spoke will be spun to have an ominous or incriminating meaning.

It doesn't matter what's in the transcript. It's how the media will portray it. We can certainly anticipate more widespread coverage than Benghazi. The NYT will probably lead with it, whatever it is.

The ex wife already received a substantial settlement so why now? Oh, I see, this is the Boston Globe wanting to unseal the records. Wonder why it wasn't done before now? Gloria Allred is scum to the nth degree.

Romney has already announced that he doesn't object if his deposition is read by the public.

Soooooo, after they are unsealed or kept sealed, or whatever, will my husband be able to get a job? Will we be able to re-stock our retirement fund dessimated by the last four years? Will our daughter be able to find a living wage job after graduation from college next year? Will my nephew come home from the Middle East permanently, and alive? Will I have health care I need/want or just whatever the government says I can have? Will my religious freedom be a thing of the past? Will my grandchildren be taught to read, write, and cipher or just how to put a condom on a banana and get rid of unwanted "tissue"? By all means, Ms Allred keep this up, what's in that testimony is so important to the American people.

The ex wife is a poster at HuffPo.
She has posted over 2,000 times.
Many of of it rants against Republicans, Romney and Mormons.
In 1987 , she was was awarded 5 million in the divorce settlement.
Since then she spent 4 million in legal fees trying to get more money.
She lives in an apartment that rents for $ 5200/ month.
She said in a 2006 interview that she has multiple medical problems and needs psychiatric counseling.
The little boy is now 27 years old.
When Allred and this nothingburger is all Obama has , the campaign internals must be even worse

I'd call Obama, Axelrod and Allred slimy little weasels, but that would not be fair to slimy little weasels.

The U.S. has been denied direct access to the only publicly known suspect in custody in connection with the Benghazi terror attack, Fox News has learned, with U.S. interrogators still unable to sit in the same room as the Egypt-held prisoner to ask questions. Abu Ahmed, also known as Mohammed Jamal, is suspected of establishing Islamist training camps in Eastern Libya where militants who took part in the Sept. 11 Benghazi terrorist attack were able to train. Ahmed is not suspected of directly taking part in the attack which left four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, dead.

For the past five months, the Republican message on foreign policy message has been defined by a single word: Benghazi. Ever since the deadly September 11 attack on the U.S. compound in that Libyan city, Republicans have obsessed over the episode. Mitt Romney made Benghazi a favorite talking point in the 2012 campaign home stretch. More recently, Republicans have invoked Benghazi to shoot down one would-be cabinet nominee, Susan Rice, and delay two others, Chuck Hagel and John Brennan. They have dragged a parade of administration officials, including Hillary Clinton

The al-Qaida extremists bypassed the brightly-colored, high-end synthetic floor coverings and stopped their pickup truck in front of a man selling more modest mats woven from desert grass, priced at $1.40 apiece. There they bought two bales of 25 mats each, and asked him to bundle them on top of the car, along with a stack of sticks.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say?

If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
