Media Companies Sue to Get Trump Divorce Records - cause they're 'directly relevant' to the campaign
Newser ^ | August 12, 2016 | Linda Hervieux

Two media companies have asked a judge to make public Donald Trump’s 1990 divorce records, contending they're "directly relevant" to the presidential campaign, USA Today reports. After 14 years of marriage, Ivana Trump cited "cruel and inhuman treatment" when filing for divorce. Though Donald Trump's lawyer at the time told the New York Times the cruelty stemmed from his public appearances with Marla Maples, news of a divorce deposition in which Ivana alleged she had been sexually assaulted by her husband surfaced a few years later and again bubbled up during the campaign. The New York Times Co. and Gannett Co. on Thursday asked a New York judge to unseal the records.

The media companies made the case that doing so would "resolve [that] ongoing campaign controversy" and provide info to voters about the GOP candidate's character.

Just get a corrupt clerk, judge or opposing party to leak them.

Remember, this is how Obama won the primary against Jack Ryan in Illinois. Obama’s crew (with help of the media) was able to unseal a divorce. Watch out!

Agreed. Since Donald’s 1990 divorce is now apparently appropriate to discuss, what about Hillary’s marriage-in-name only? Surely to only to reaffirm how she would put ones like June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson and Donna Stone and Samantha Stephens and Olivia Walton to shame in the faithful, sweet, and devoted wife department, eh?

The thing is that the old rules don’t work on Trump. He won’t drop out like most loser republicans. He embraces the fight, and usually wins - often even when he shouldn’t.

Frankly, I think if this information is shared with the public it will only make him stronger.

This has Obola’s fingerprints all over it.

He won the Illinois senate seat by doing the same thing to Jack Ryan, which caused him to abandon the race.

I took a screenshot. Before posting it here, try closing pages or flushing cache because the actual material is embedded in the reddit frame and may not always show up if one’s computer memory is near max usage.

That unsealing gave us Barak Obama.

This lawsuit with Trump’s records is eagerly awaited by the GOPe.

Sure because without airing all the dirty little secrets from closed documents, we’d never have to put up with Baraq!

Predictable. The media always looks for dirt on republicans but not on dems.

If Trump gets in he needs to take a big antitrust hammer to that.

Nobody’s cheering Donald for having acted that way, but indeed comparatively speaking he’s looking like a Boy Scout (pre-gay, even) here. “Cruelty” is a common accusation in divorce cases and could mean as little as “he/she winked at someone else.” Once the rift appears, it can grow wildly.

As such affairs go, it was remarkably amicable.

Political climbers, the Billary are, in a marriage of convenience. When either cheats, the other doesn’t care, because the marriage, pardon the oxymoron, is not about the marriage.

Yes, even the stars of Bewitched looked better.

IMO, the reason she puts up with her deviant husband is because those are her beliefs as well.

Explains why she had NO EMPATHY for the little girl that was viciously raped by her client.
