The official Romney response has been "Fine, by all means unseal the testimony!"Jim Beaux wrote:Allred is a total waste of humanity. She reminds me of a hyena.
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2 ... -gag-orderFamed civil rights attorney Gloria Allred will be in a Boston area courtroom Wednesday in an attempt to unseal the sworn testimony given by Republican Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney, in a prior court case, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"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.--http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2 ... -gag-order
Here is the back-story. The testimony that Romney gave was at the divorce proceedings for an executive of Staples. The subject of his testimony was the extent of that person's compensation by the company. The reason the testimony was sealed was because the divorced husband's compensation package is a private matter and the information did not need to extend beyond the courtroom and the specifics of his divorce.......as it would be for anybody's employment compensation, which is not nor should it be a matter of public record.
Romney himself was not the subject of his testimony. Gloria Allred is trying to imply that the testimony is sealed because it holds something embarassing to Romney. Nothing could be further than the truth, and the Romney camp said yesterday, "sure, go ahead and unseal it," because they know it does Romney no damage.
So the sooner that the testimony is unsealed, the sooner Gloria Allread is revealed to be the pustulent scumbag ambulance chaser that she is. This tactic was a serious miscalculation on her part, and my guess is that in the wake of Romney's absolute willingness to have the testimony unsealed, she may start wondering if this had been a smart tactic, and she may start backtracking........"Hey, I was just kidding! Leave it sealed. PLEASE leave it sealed." If she does, the smartest thing that Romney's camp could do would be to insist that the judge go ahead and unseal it, so that they could pile this on her shoulders and destroy her reputation....eliminating her as a future threat to future republicans.
