Trump Versus Allred - bombshells beware...



Donald Trump to reveal ‘divorce papers of Michelle and Barack Obama’, claims respected financial pundit



Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon.

It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up.

Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement on Wednesday that would be ‘bordering on gigantic' and that it would ‘possibly’ change the Presidential race.

She's refused to confirm it, but Slate reports Allred is expected to drop a bombshell about Romney and abortion. Breitbart points out that Obama's recent "Romnesia" attack may have taken the word from Mormon feminists who criticized the Republican years ago as being unable to recall specific details of his advice on abortion to female congregants. Allred, who represented Bobby Davis and Mike Lang in accusations of sexual abuse against former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine, is a supporter of Pres. Obama and was a delegate at the DNC in North Carolina last summer.



The Blaze points out that she's previously gone after Republicans more often than Democrats. Some of Allred's most famous clients include a woman who accused former Tea Party presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual assault and a woman who claimed California GOP candidate Meg Whitman knowingly employed her as an illegal immigrant housekeeper, perhaps costing Whitman the election to Jerry Brown in 2010. The 2012 presidential race has tightened over the past few weeks, so a surprise announcement could mean the difference in November. Polls on Monday had Romney and Obama in a dead heat among likely voters before the final debate.

Does Romney have an illegitimate child?


"The Boston Globe is headed to court tomorrow morning for an emergency hearing in an attempt to obtain a court order to unseal the sworn testimony given by Mitt Romney in a prior court case and to lift a gag order so that the parties can speak about Romney. Gloria Allred will be in court representing one of the parties in the case," a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com

The emergency hearing will take place at the Norfolk Probate & Family Court in Canton, Massachusetts, and Justice Jennifer Ulwick will oversee the proceedings which will begin at 9 a.m. EST. http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2012/10/gloria-allred-mitt-romney-october-surprise-gag-order

[ploto]

A book came out months ago that said that Michelle Obama was considering divorcing Barack about 10 years ago, and she even had papers drawn up. That is really not something new.

[ploto]

Does Romney have an illegitimate child?

It is interesting that the court has his testimony sealed and a gag order on the parties involved. Supposedly, one of those parties wants to talk so she wants the gag order lifted.

[DJ Mbenga]

the obama thing has been known before. the media will sure cover this but spend more of the time trashing trump. the romney one, probably the same, unless that sworn testimony thing is won, then its pandoras box, it could be something or nothing. probably nothing.

i think the suprise could be the final jobs report. i think politico was the one that said it , the numbers could be favorable simply due to holiday hiring season.

Trump is all about getting Trump's name in the spotlight. Everybody knows that, right?

Some people will care about a repeat of a story that a couple with financial struggles brought about by his run for Congress managed to work things out and stay together?

People would elect Bill Clinton tomorrow.

Most Obama supporters would not be so scandalized by this. However, if a righteous Republican candidate has unknown skeletons, then that could shake his supporters.

[Drachen]

There are some people who will care...

probably no one who didn't make up their mind a year and a half ago.

[ploto]

And the big news:

Donald Trump offers $5m to charity if Obama releases his passport and college records!!

More birther crap...

[ploto]

And on the other side:

Mitt Romney’s 1991 testimony in the divorce of Staples founder Tom Stemberg will be considered for public release on Thursday in open court and with television cameras rolling at Norfolk Probate and Family Court.

The court on Wednesday rejected Stemberg’s request to close the hearing, siding with the Globe, which is seeking access to the impounded testimony of Romney, now the Republican nominee for president.

Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, appeared in court on Wednesday and supported the release of Romney’s testimony. Robert G. Jones, an attorney for Romney, said the candidate has no position on whether his testimony should be unsealed.

Gloria Allred, an attorney for Sullivan Stemberg, produced two, inch-thick volumes of testimony Romney delivered during the divorce proceedings two decades ago.

Attorneys for Stemberg, Staples and Romney, who had not reviewed the testimony before Wednesday’s hearing, were granted a continuance to do so. The court will reconvene at 9 a.m. on Thursday.

All documents in the divorce case were impounded, and all parties signed a confidentiality agreement that prevents them from discussing details of the case with the press. The Globe is seeking only Romney’s testimony, which he delivered in June 1991.

At the time of the divorce, Romney was the owner and chief executive of Bain Capital, a private equity firm that invested $650,000 in Staples to help the office supply company open its first store in Brighton in 1986. In total, Bain Capital invested about $2.5 million in Staples and reaped a $13 million profit when the company went public in 1989. Romney sat on the Staples board of directors.

During the current presidential election, Stemberg has served as a surrogate for Romney. Stemberg spoke at the Republican National Convention in August.

So is this even about Romney or about his buddy...

That's actually pretty creative. Who wouldn't want to give 5 mil to their favorite charity (sticking it to Trump in the process) if they didn't have anything to hide?

[Winehole23]

My guess is that Trump already knows what's on them. If there was any chance that Obama would release them (and the info proved Trump wrong) he wouldn't' do it. The momentum Obama would gain by releasing "clean" documents would surely give him the election.

[CosmicCowboy]

LOL, he probably would release them for a 5 mil donation to his church.

Report: Romney Lied in Court And Then Screwed Over His Friend's Wife During Nasty Divorce With Staples Founder

Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” remarks codified an image of the candidate as only caring about the rich and willing to screw over the rest of the population. A report on the gossip news website TMZ.com could add to that perception.

TMZ reports today (http://www.tmz.com/2012/10/24/mitt-romney-tom-stemberg-staples-lied-perjury-divorce-case-maureen/) [3] that Romney lied “under oath when he testified in the divorce of his good friend and screwed the friend's wife out of a lot of money in the process,” according to the wife of the founder of Staples.

The story goes like this: Staples founder Tom Stemberg was in the midst of a nasty divorce with his wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan. Romney, a friend of Stemberg’s who invested in his company, testified in court that Staples was not worth very much. Staple’s stock was “overvalued,” Romney said in court, adding, “I didn't place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company's future.”

Romney’s testimony helped ensure that Maureen received very little money when the divorce case was resolved. But the controversy comes from this: “We're told just weeks after the divorce ended, Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune. Short story -- Romney allegedly lied to help his friend and screw the friend's wife over.”

TMZ doesn’t stop there. They also report that as Sullivan was suffering from cancer and multiple sclerosis, Stemberg canceled her health insurance. The kicker is that Stemberg was then working with Romney as a health care adviser.

The divorce trial is attracting attention now as famous lawyer Gloria Allred, representing Maureen Stemberg Sullivan, goes to court to “tell a judge that [Maureen Sullivan] does not object to unsealing testimony given by presidential candidate Mitt Romney in her divorce case,” the Washington Post reports. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/election-2012/wp/2012/10/24/the-gloria-allred-october-surprise/) [4]

A Romney lawyer told TIME magazine (http://thepage.time.com/2012/10/24/always-at-the-end/) [5] that the candidate “has no objection to letting the public see that testimony.” But if the TMZ report is true, Romney might regret those words in court.

http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/report-romney-lied-court-and-then-screwed-over-his-friends-wife-during-nasty?akid=9582.187590.Z_9_p8&rd=1&src=newsletter732753&t=3 (http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/report-romney-lied-court-and-then-screwed-over-his-friends-wife-during-nasty?akid=9582.187590.Z_9_p8&rd=1&src=newsletter732753&t=3)

We'll see if the sworn court testimony is exposed, and Gecko cashing in on Staples stock a few weeks later should also be public record. Not surprised if Mormon, INC Bishop Gecko lied in court. He's "entitled" to escaping from the law.

[TeyshaBlue]

Short story -- Romney allegedly lied to help his friend and screw the friend's wife over.”

Or he and his buddy honestly believed that the stock was overvalued because they didn't place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company's future, and saw an opportunity to sell high on a stock that they believed was about to lose value, and did what most any prudent investor would have done.

I'm not saying that he's above reproach, but that story strikes me as being a pretty weak effort to indict a presidential candidate.

assuming the records are released and confirm the TMZ report:

"Romney and Tom went to Goldman Sachs and cashed in THEIR stock for a fortune."

do you really think these two guys, and G-S, were so wrong about the stock so soon before cashing in?

There you go again, part of the "I always assume" crowd. No, I don't care. When Trump said he was running for president, I think I was the first to say he wouldn't follow through, that it was for publicity.

Look at my words again. "There are some people who will care." I don't think it's enough to sway the undecideds either. I never said it would. Do you disagree that some undecideds, somewhere under 0.1%, will care? That is "some people," isn't it?

Breaking Update: Court Unseals Potentially Devastating Testimony -- Romney Said Stocks Sold at 1/10th of Eventual Value Was 'Good Price'
Romney does appear to have covered for his friend.
October 25, 2012 |



Editor's Update: The Boston Globe reports: "Mitt Romney testified under oath in 1991 that the ex-wife of Staples founder Tom Stemberg got a fair deal in the couple’s 1988 divorce, even though the company shares Maureen Sullivan Stemberg received were valued at a tenth of Staples’ stock price on the day of its initial public offering only a year later. At the time the Stembergs split, Romney suggested, there was little indication that Staples’ value would soon skyrocket. Romney’s testimony in a post-divorce lawsuit brought in 1990 by Sullivan Stemberg was unsealed on Thursday in Norfolk Probate and Family Court at the Globe’s request. Sullivan Stemberg sued unsuccessfully to amend the couple’s financial agreement after Staples went public in 1989 and closed its first day of trading at $22.50 per share, 10 times the value she had received."

According to the Globe, Sullivan Stemberg sold 175,000 shares of Staples stock at $2.25 per share, and sold 80,000 shares at $2.48 a few months later. “In my opinion, that’s a good price to sell the securities at,” Romney testified. "But on April 28, 1989, barely a year after Sullivan Stemberg sold more than half of her shares on the premise that they were worth less than $2.50 apiece, the company made its initial public offering at $19 per share and ended its first day at $22.50, the Globe reports.
