suppose the divorce testimony is unsealed...

and, suppose it indicates a reasonable suspicion that RobMe lied...

and, suppose the only way to prove that is to subpoena RobMe's tax returns

could that actually happen

Mitt Romney -- Author Who Saw Divorce Transcripts Says Romney Didn't Tell Truth About Staples

"According to Ranson, in the video, the judge asked Romney if the Staples stock was worth anything, and then asked why Romney had continued buying the stock, and Romney said he'd been hoodwinked in that investment."

6. Mitt Romney's testimony was unsealed.

The gag order on the ex-wife wasn't removed though.

ANTON, Mass. - Mitt Romney’s sworn testimony in a post-divorce lawsuit against Staples founder Tom Stemberg was unsealed today at Norfolk Probate and Family Court.

The suit was filed in 1990 by Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, who sought to amend the couple’s financial agreement after Staples went public in 1989 and began trading at 10 times the stock value she had received in the divorce a year earlier.

Romney testified during the lawsuit in June 1991. The nature of his testimony was not immediately clear Thursday. The Globe filed a motion on Oct. 15 to unseal Romney’s testimony, which was impounded along with all other case files from the Stembergs’ 10-year legal battle.

Parties in the case also signed a confidentiality agreement that Gloria Allred, the attorney for Sullivan-Stemberg called “the most comprehensive gag order I have ever seen in my 36 years of practicing law.” The Globe originally moved to amend the confidentiality agreement to allow parties in the case to speak publicly about Romney’s testimony but dropped the request on Thursday when Stemberg, who had opposed the Globe’s request to unseal the testimony, rescinded his objection.

7. dont think so. He will have lied. and that is all. the Dems should have been screaming about

what he is hiding, but let it go.

[dems_rightnow]

8. Nope, couldn't happen that way

If he did lie, it's long past any statute of limitations, and no court would deem to subpeona information for a case that can't be tried.

9. Keep going

like the sound of that, critical thinking.

[riverwalker]

10. Gloria keeps saying

she wants the gag order lifted so her client can discuss her "interactions" with Romney.
It's not just his undervaluing some stock, I think he threatened her.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

12. The Allred should have filed for that

She did not, and as the ex wife's counsel is also subject to it.
