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.
I think you meant Allred is NOW subject to the gag order, not Allred in NOT subject to the gag order...
OOPS Allred IS SUBJECT TO THE GAG order.
mistyped in the previous.
you are correct
That's the whole issue. It's not "easy" for any (R) or Conservative to get any (D)'s records unsealed or released. The converse happens all too often.
Deffinately no double standard there.
Does anyone have the date of the testimony? From a historical perspective, the IPO was under $1.00. Six months later, it was 2/3 of that. This sure sounds like an over-valued stock to me.
How is this relevant?
Their claim seems to be that he committed perjury by saying the stock was undervalued. It appears his analysis was spot on. If anything, by saying it was undervalued, wouldn’t she have gotten more stock as a result? I’m sure the judge had a set value in mind, so an undervalued stock would have meant more shares for her.
I meant to say over valued. That might help make me a bit more coherent.
Gloria now saying that the Boston Globe “double-crossed” her by not filing for the gag order on her client to be lifted. This is fantastic!
Let the record speak for itself, open the files, I have nothing to hide.. The left WILL find something to say that is negative to Romney, no matter what he says.. The media will play it as “Hair on Fire” development, in any case..
It will make a difference to some, the results will determine, who, and how much..
Who didn’t know/see this coming? The Romney campaign expected something, this may/will, not be all of the surprises that Obama has in it’s bag of BS..
Please Danette, never put “Allred behind” in the same post/sentence, I’m much to visual, it instantly trips my “GAG REFLEX”.. Thanks.. :)
Sleeping with a guy.
What am I missing here?

Isn’t the transcript simply Romney’s testimony about the value of Staples? The gag order covers testimony by others that is not public in this case.
Because, unless she simply reads the (now) public information verbatim, her comments would be adding nonpublic information to the (now) public information in the transcripts. Even a statement of agreement or disagreement with what Mitt says in the transcripts would be nonpublic. The nonpublic information is still gagged.
Gloria All-red's ability to write the BS narrative.
Kind of explains her being a useful idiot for All-Red and the dems. They all want to play the victim card. Heaven forbid they take some personal responsibility.
