Judge to rule on Romney testimony: Staples' value may be key.

[Sallow]

Say it ain't so..

The testimony could become public less than two weeks before Romney faces incumbent Democratic President Barack Obama in the November 6 election.

The Boston Globe newspaper on October 15 asked the court to make the testimony public before the election. Its attorney, Jonathan Albano, argued in court on Wednesday that it was appropriate for the court to reassess the need to keep the records private now that Romney is seeking the presidency.

While there were no hints at Wednesday's court hearing about the contents of the testimony, an independent film maker said he had been told by Sullivan Stemberg that Romney testified that her holdings in Staples were worth very little.

"She felt that he devalued the stock. And what really kind of proved it was that one minute it wasn't worth anything at all and all of a sudden it was worth a whole lot," according to Edmund Druilhet from Dragon-Lion Media, who interviewed Sullivan Stemberg in 2008 for a movie on her life that was never completed.

"He was stating for his best friend to save money in a divorce that the stock was worth very little," Druilhet said in a phone interview.

Lied under oath?

 

[Sallow]

Didn't a certain president get impeached for that?

 

[IHBF]

It's in his tax returns!!!!!!

 

[IHBF]

Obama's entire campaign has been to attack Romney.

Did you know she has been suing over her divorce since 1987? She even sued her attorney and lost because she said she did not get enough. She lost that case too.
So why wasn't this news when Romney was Governor? Don't you think that she has made this allegation during the 10 years she spent in court? Why do you think this all of a sudden is true?

She was given 500,000 shares and sold half a year BEFORE the company went public. So whose fault is that?

Not to mention the FACT the stock did not rise in value for nearly 2 years. No one can see into the future.


Here is the 2005 story regarding the protracted divorce:

Of course, if his style always translated to money in the bank for his female clients, only their fat-cat husbands would complain. But that's not always the case. Take Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, the ex-wife of Staples founder Tom Stemberg. They divorced in 1987, and, in the settlement, she received nearly 500,000 shares of Staples stock, reportedly valued at $2.25 per share. Problem was, Staples went public two years later - at $19 per share - after she had unloaded nearly half her stock. She hired Inker to get her what she thought she deserved. The divorce grew into a decade-long mess, breathlessly retold on the front page of The Wall Street Journal in 1997. "I hired Monroe because he was supposed to be the best," Maureen Stemberg says now. "They had Tom and I go after each other, and it was like, sit back and watch the money roll in." She says she only met with Inker three times, despite the $3 million she estimates she paid his firm. Inker says his colleague handled the case. Maureen Stemberg says Inker's female clients are vulnerable. "He meets with them. He says, `Oh, you poor thing, your poor kids. Oh, my God,' and he doesn't even know their name. . . . He calls me the Staples lady," she says, then adds her experience with Inker's firm was atypical of her dealings with lawyers. After losing her case in 1994, she sued Inker and his colleagues for malpractice, a case that was eventually dismissed.

If this is the October Surprise it is about the Most Desperate and Pathetic attempt at one I have ever seen.

Makes me think of the sound of a Balloon sitting out it's air when you let go of it.

Obama's entire campaign has been to attack Romney.

Yeah....and now he's hiring others to do it for him. Sad.

Could Obama at least go out with SOME shred of dignity?

He killed his passenger or the person who hit the car Romney was driving and driver of the other car was at fault? Even the NY Times states Romney was NOT at fault.

Thirty years earlier, in the spring of 1968, Mr. Romney, then a Mormon missionary in France, had a scare of a different sort. He was at the wheel of a tiny Citroën, cruising along a country road, when a Mercedes rounded a curve and crashed into his car, head on. One of his passengers — the wife of the French mission president — was killed. Mr. Romney, by all accounts not at fault, was knocked unconscious and mistakenly pronounced dead at the scene.

The article says by ALL accounts, Romney was not at fault. You don't think the NY Times would have been all over that? Not to mention the accident occurred 44 years ago. Does France routinely keep records for nearly a half a century?

Gloria just wants the gag order lifted so the ex wife can run around and slag every body.

She's a nasty piece of work. And Romney's not fighting it if you'd read the other threads.

It's her ex husband that's blocking it.

The ex wife is a huge Obama supporter and has been posting on Huffpo. She hates them all.
