Gloria Allred’s Worst Nightmare — Transcript released but her client’s still gagged (Epic Fail)
legal Insurrection ^ | Posted by William A. Jacobson Thursday, October 25, 2012 at 10:31am

Reports from inside the courtroom in Boston at which The Boston Globe is seeking access to Mitt Romney’s testimony in the divorce case of the founder of Staples indicate that the Judge will authorize the release of the transcript to The Globe, but will not lift the gag order on the parties to the divorce, including Gloria Allred’s Mormon-hating client, Maureen Sulivan.

Presumably that means that the Mormon-hating client’s representative also cannot speak on behalf of her Mormon-hating client to put the “context” on it.

It will be up to The Globe and other media to spin the transcript against Romney, which they certaily will do, but Allred will not be at the center of that circus.

Here’s the TMZ live feed:

7:10 AM PT — The judge has agreed to release Mitt’s transcripts to the Boston Globe — but Gloria’s client is not allowed to talk about the case. 7:02 AM PT — Gloria is grasping at straws … but it’s clear, the judge is not gonna cut her a break. Gloria vows to return to court after she files a motion. 6:55 AM PT — It looks like Gloria is getting shut down because she never made the motion to ungag her client. The judge said the matter is not before the court. 6:53 AM PT — We’ve made up our minds — the judge is, in fact, hot. 6:51 AM PT — The judge seems to be saying that Gloria didn’t make the proper motion to ungag her client. 6:38 AM PT — It seems they have AGREED to release the transcripts. 6:37 AM PT –Romney’s lawyer says the Gov. has no problem having his testimony made public.

It appears that the Judge didn’t lift the gag order because Allred had not actually filed a motion to lift the gag order. The only motion was by The Globe for access to the transcript.

So maybe Allred isn’t one of the best lawyers in America. But this never was about the law, it was about Allred seeking publicity, and The Globe doing Obama’s dirty work.

The Globe, of course, has not gone to court seeking access to Harvard’s federal filings, including documents signed by Elizabeth Warren, which might bring down Warren.

Does Gloria Allred still see Sharon Bialek(sp?) and Meg Whitman’s illegal alien housekeeper??? Last I heard Sharon was broke and being evicted? Did good Democrats or Gloria herself take care of her financially for hurting the campaign of Herman Cain???

Why does Gloria Allred get involved in this crapola?

Does Gloria think it helps voters make wise decisions because she exposes these things?

There is no “there” there with these transcripts. No one cares about Romney’s testimony concerning the value of share of stock back in the 1980s.

It told me nothing was in them when Romney’s lawyer essentially shrugged and said “Release them.” If there was anything the least bit damaging in them, the campaign would have rushed dozens of lawyers to that court fighting tooth and nail for delays, injunctions, appeals etc.

All-Red is among the lowest life forms on the planet, whose m.o. is to dig up dirt on a candidate just days before an election. We’ve seen this before. This woman loves wallowing in the filth and slime attracted to publicity like a moth is to a light bulb. She relishes filth and thrives in it. The lowest of human trash imaginable this pathetic partisan hack of a sleazeball. Trolling for dirt.

She's a Dem Operative. Always has been. She was a delegate to the Oblabla Circus Convention...

I don't understand the rationale for releasing transcripts from a divorce that happened decades ago that may or may not have anything to do with Romney.

I also wonder why no one has filed a case to release the sealed records Obama has been hiding regarding his entire past. If it is this easy to unseal records Obama's should have been unsealed years ago.

“If there was anything the least bit damaging in them, the campaign would have rushed dozens of lawyers to that court fighting tooth and nail for delays, injunctions, appeals etc.”

That’s exactly what Axelrod & Jarrett were hoping Allred would bait Romney into doing, so it would give the story “legs.” Romney didn’t rise to the bait, no story, dead issue.

Case closed.

6:53 AM PT — We’ve made up our minds — the judge is, in fact, hot.

Agreed. Not guilty.

It appears that the Judge didn’t lift the gag order because Allred had not actually filed a motion to lift the gag order. The only motion was by The Globe for access to the transcript.

I see no reason why she can't just go ahead and file the motion to lift the gag order. I also see no reason why the judge wouldn't lift the gag order if requested to do so.

In all likelihood we will still get to see another one of those Gloria Glorious News-conferences and 15 minutes of coverage on all the MSM News shows. Plus Gloria on the Sunday talk shows just before the election.

Don't count her out despite the fact that she is working with very, very thin gruel.

HA!!! I bet Asselrod already had her booked on Leno, Letterman and The View. Judge says "No talk show tour for you".

Priceless.

Theres nothing there. Romney’s lawyer said Romney had no issue with it being released.

yeah, but she’s a “hyphenator”...

funny, that.

Neither one of those is “her” name.
One is her father’s and the other her husband’s.
