A Massachusetts probate judge will hold another hearing Thursday before deciding whether to unseal testimony that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney gave in the divorce case of Staples founder Tom Stemberg.
Ex-wife Maureen Stemberg Sullivan appeared in court Wednesday with lawyer Gloria Allred. They said they did not object to a Boston Globe motion to lift an impoundment order on Romney’s testimony in the case from the early 1990s.
Attorneys said Romney’s testimony dealt with financial matters, though they did not elaborate. Staples was founded with backing from Romney’s firm, Bain Capital. Stemberg has been a surrogate for Romney and spoke on the former Massachusetts governor’s behalf at the GOP convention.
“You have expert testimony about an investment that a presidential candidate made,” Globe attorney Jonathan Albano told Judge Jennifer Ulwick on Wednesday. He said the public has a right to know what Romney said. Allred disputed the contention that Romney testified as an expert.
Attorneys for Romney and Staples asked the judge for more time to review two booklets of testimony Allred produced.
Stemberg’s attorney said he had only been able to review about 20 pages. It wasn’t clear if the booklets were all Romney testimony or included testimony from others.
Romney attorney Robert Jones said Romney would like time to review the entire transcript but does not anticipate objecting. He asked a judge not to delay the hearing beyond one day.
“We’re in a little bit of a spin cycle now,” Jones said. “The longer this goes on, the more speculation there will be.”
Jones also issued a statement.
“This is a decades-old divorce case in which Mitt Romney provided testimony as to the value of a company,” he said. “He has no objection to letting the public see that testimony.”
Stemberg’s lawyer, Brian Leary, said there was nothing salacious in the testimony he had seen but acknowledged he only had 20 pages. He described the divorce as incredibly contentious and urged the judge to look at “what’s really going on behind the scenes.”
He added: “This is in many ways much ado about nothing.”

What is the name of this judge? We could all meet at his house to politely discuss his manipulation of the upcoming federal election. Or maybe we could engage in a conversation with him at the entrance to his office building?

This is Femi-Nazism at its finest. And while it is “much ado about nothing” Satan’s Servants at ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CNN and the rest of the Liberal News Mafia will get maximum mileage out of it.
This also allows the Libs to change the subject from the FAILURE Obama to Mitt Romney. And I can’t blame them for that. Hussein Obama is an EPIC FAILURE! I mean who wants to talk about
1. the keystone pipeline failure
2. Hussien Obama’s Green Energy failures
3. or that Hussien Obama used the Gulf Oil Spill to promote Green Energy (failures)
4. Hussien Obama dismissing the Tea Party as racists
5. pulling out of Iraq with no clear victory over terrorists
6. Hussien Obama’s re-writings of history through speeches (laced with PLAGARISM from Joseph Stalin’s speeches, with inaccurate information, class warfare that would make Mussolini proud, ect..)
7. getting a Nobel Prize for being the most ineffective President in history
8. denying the notion of American Exceptionalism
9. promising to close Gitmo — failing to do so
10. APPOINTING NUMEROUS
COMMUNISTS/SOCIALISTS/PROGRESSIVES
to his various Czar positions
11. Prediction that stimulus would ensure that unemployment doesn’t exceed 8%.
12. bowing down to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Muslim Kings
13. Illegally proposing amnesty for illegal aliens to increase the population of voters for Democrat elections
14. INTERNATIONAL CORRUPTION! Obama to Medvedev
“…give me space I will have more flexibility after my election”
…and about 44,000 other things he failed at…
Other than Communism and kissing the ass of Radical Islamisists Obama has afiled at everything.
