If Allred is involved, it is some women that is telling her she was wronged by Mitt in some way. And I doubt it has anything to do with the Mitt advised some lady not to have an abortion or do an adoption.
First, why would Mitt, as a church leader be testifying? What kind of case would be in court like that? And why the gag order and sealed records? Those usually happen when there is a civil settlement of some kind. Money is paid and everyone swears to keep quiet.
I may be wrong, but I suspect it is something to do with sexual harassment with Romney or a close family member. Otherwise, I don’t think Allred would be involved. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t have a good feeling about this.
It’s a family court. You don’t have sexual harassment cases tried in family courts.
It’s something extremely trivial or else it would have surfaced way before now.
Tomorrow should be interesting - Donald vs. Gloria.
He might have even threatened her with excommunication if she went through with a convenience abortion.
It is a pretty tough charge to disprove, because if Romney gives his version of the story, then he is guilty of breaching a clergy-congregant confidence he swore to uphold.
Big whoop! Can you imagine the nerve of Nancy Pelosi's Catholic parish priest threatening to excommunicate her if she didn't quit supporting abortion on demand? My reaction would be to shake the hand of the priest.
“Otherwise, I don’t think Allred would be involved. Hope I’m wrong, but I don’t have a good feeling about this.”
We are still waiting for Pelosi’s bombshell. Reid’s, also.
At this point, I think that quite a bit of the electorate is very, very tired of dried-up harridans* like Pelosi and Allred looking for their last day in the sun before their faces finally snap off like balloons stretched on bowling balls.
* I learned this word recently From Dennis Miller on O’Reilly. I looked it up in the dictionary and I almost busted a gut. Pelosi’s picture might as well have been next to the definition.
records can be sealed and expunged upon petition (with few exceptions).
This is a civil infraction. IOW it goes by the rules of criminal procedure.
There is no harassment or other civil or rather real civil issue here. Also if it did settle I doubt ANY testimony other than for plea purposes was done.
This is just Obama pushing a buzzkill.
Aldred should get a bar complaint and the lawyer vouching for her in order for her to appear in mass should be subject to an emergency suspension.
Also in Mass, if not mistaken, attorneys are REQUIRED to have a written retainer agreement. Her clients and their funding is discoverable.
