Since the gag order was not lifted, will Romney be able to respond to/issue any statements, to the MSMs accusations and spin of his testimony?
I don’t know if the gag order pertains to Romney as well. I’m not a 100% sure about how that works. It may cover everybody that testified. Than again it may just cover the husband and wife.
Either way, the Allred circus has been derailed. It’s hard to have a press conference when your client can’t even open her mouth. That is her tactic. Go on TV with the supposed victim and work up a frenzy. The victim in this case isn’t supposed to be talking to anyone about what is going on so Allred can get her in trouble if she starts spouting off about things that her client said! She’s finished for now. I don’t doubt that she will try something else though. Her guy is in desperation mode right now.
The MSM can spew all that they want, people don’t give a crap right now. People are out of work, soldiers are still dying, the economy is in the crapper, an embassador and 3 other Americans are dead amidst a huge and obvious cover up! Do they think that anybody is going to feel broken hearted for some rich divorcee who feels like she didn’t get a big enough piece of the pie and sold her stocks too soon. As for Romney testifying that he thought his friend was a good father, so what. The ex has been alluding to her ex husband as being an abuser. Allred and her client were probably going for the “Romney defends wife beaters” angle. IF Romney had never been witness to something like that it’s their word against his. It’s all BS!
Romney allowed the transcripts to be released which bodes well for him. It’s hard to say that somebody is hiding something when they allow their testimony to be released. The judge decided not to lift the gag order. Allred screwed up because she decided to ride The Boston Globes coat tails instead of filing her own motion. Too bad!
Romney was not included in the original gag order -- that was an agreement between the principals as part of the settlement. He can say anything he wants to, but he'd be wise to ignore the whole thing, other than to say, "the transcript has been released and other than that, I don't want to comment about a private matter between two people".
