UPDATED Allred’s October Surprise: Here’s What It Looks Like the Famed Lawyer’s Romney Allegations Will Entail

Oct. 24, 2012 11:49am Mytheos Holt

Yesterday evening, several sources reported that Gloria Allred would be in Boston court this morning seeking to unseal a gag order on testimony by former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney in an unspecified case. Many observers wondered what the case might be, and what the surprise would exactly entail. Now, we have a good idea.

Allred is seeking to unseal testimony by Romney in the divorce proceedings of Staples founder Tom Stemberg, a Romney surrogate and founder of a company that marks one of Bain Capital’s most prominent early successes. Stemberg also served as Romney’s campaign manager during the former Massachusetts Governor’s failed run for President in 2008.

However, Stemberg has a skeleton in his closet. His divorce proceedings with his ex-wife, Maureen, were apparently extremely nasty, and Maureen herself is the subject of a documentary that aired on Lifetime. Roz Zurko of the Examiner explains:

Romney was a key witness in a high-profile divorce case between Staples co-founder Tom Stemberg and his wife Maureen. Stemberg is one of Romney’s biggest supporters and allegedly the Republican Presidential hopeful was “heavily involved” in this very messy and long drawn-out divorce, which was “bitter and ugly,” according to TMZ. Romney not only gave a deposition in this divorce case, but he also testified at the trial and both testimonies are protected under this court ordered seal.

Romney and Stemberg’s ties “run deep” and Romney’s venture capital company helped launch Staples, which is considered the first big success for Romney’s company. He stayed invested in the inner workings of Staple’s by sitting on the board of directors for many years.

What all this has to do with Romney and the election is not known at this time, but it is believed that Allred represents Maureen Stemberg and getting at Romney’s deposition and his testimony from this case with a court order is somehow very important to this lawyer. Getting the gag order lifted so the people involved in the case are free to talk is another strategy which appears to be of utmost importance to Allred today.

Nevertheless, ugly though these proceedings may have been, one has to ask the question – what do they have to do with Romney, whose testimony in the divorce proceedings allegedly focused only on Staples stock prices?

Ironically, an article from 2008 by liberal blogger Sadi Ranson-Polizzotti may provide the answer. Here is Polizzotti’s take on Romney’s participation:

Apart from a close friendship, which is no secret, between Mitt Romney and Tom Stemberg, one turns the question over and over why it is that the now Governor of Massachusetts would have ever testified in a divorce case? We speak here of Mitt Romney’s relationship with Staple’s founder Tom Stemberg who is now Romney’s Campaign Manager. He was called, that’s why, and had no choice, but Romney did have a choice and an obligation to be completely forthcoming on the stand.

But then, the details haven’t been made clearly public, so in some effort to set the long and very winding road straight (for this is really like going through the looking glass, which may well be as it is intended), Mitt Romney and Tom Stemberg go back a long way – all the way to the very founding of Staples when Romney was working for Bain and felt that Staples was perhaps a good investment and was the first investor to come on board to the tune of $650,000 dollars.

It was about a year and half later later, in 1988 when called as a witness by Tom Stemberg’s lawyers for a divorce case that Romney said on record that Staples stock was, essentially, “over-valued. In his own-words, Romney said, “I didn’t place a great deal of credibility in the forecast of the company’s future.” (p. 441, appeals court document No. 95 P 286, Norfolk County) Romney is then asked how many times in the past he has “reviewed these kinds of offerings” (441). Yet in the early Spring of 1989 Staples went public. So much for undervalued. Either Mitt does not know his figures, or he was dangerously close to perjuring himself on the stand or outright lying. You decide…[...]

But the Sullivan-Stemberg divore case is no joke and speaks yet more to Romeny’s integrity. Romney did a two-step cha-cha - at best - and all for the benefit of a friend (and likely himself) during a divorce case; only a court of law can decide whether or not he perjured himself and what he tells us now. If you did tell the truth then, are you telling the truth now, Mr. Romney? Or did you lie on the stand then about Staples and are now touting it’s great value as your “proudest achievement”. which is it Mr. Romney, Mr. Stemberg? You can’t have it both ways.

For Tom Stemberg to say that the idea of founding Staples was his and his alone and to reap all of the profit and gain is not only ufair, it reeks of sexism, but coming from a man who committed adultery more than once and impregnated another woman during an “affair” (call it what you will), this is hardly surprising. In fact, none of this is surprising. The only surprising part is that Mitt Romney – the man who Would Be President – is best-friends with Tom Stemberg, because Tom Stemberg is a lot of things, but family values he ain’t. No: he’s Mr. Romney’s Campaign Manager.

Astute readers can see the problem. Romney will likely be accused by Allred of deliberately misrepresenting Staples’ stock prices in order to cheat a friend’s ex-wife out of divorce money. The “damned if you did, damned if you didn’t” conundrum is obvious in the narrative the Left could spin. If Romney didn’t lie about the stock prices and really thought the company was about to go belly up, then his negotiations to take the company public suggest he was cheating his clients, Allred et al will argue. If Romney didn’t think the company was going to go belly up, then he used his economic influence to defraud a woman, and a victim of adultery.

Of course, it may be that Maureen Stemberg has already started attacking Romney. Dana Loesch uncovered a treasure trove of comments by a woman calling herself “Maureen Stemberg,” who repeatedly slams Romney and his Mormonism while talking up President Obama:

In other words, Allred is trying to use the testimony of a clearly (and justifiably) embittered woman to tar Romney for his association with that woman’s ex-husband. Whether any voters will care to follow this guilt by association circus is anyone’s guess. It may well be that Allred’s attack will be canceled out by Donald Trump’s supposed bombshell, which will also be released today. However, with just 13 days to go, this campaign just took a turn for the tabloid-esque.

The Stemberg lady sure has a lot of pent up bitterness from something that happened so long ago.

A glaring failure to move on. Sad. It will kill her at some point.

As for G/A – she is all set for Halloween. No mask needed…..

Don’t these people know what they look like? No shame, I guess…

  Yea, I hear you. Romney seems to bounce around between moderate and Tea Party. Just be thankful that he is not rock solid planted into far left Marxist and socialist like Obama. That is one thing you can not knock Obama on. He came out hard left for redistribution of wealth/socialism, swayed toward appeasement of the Muslims and other enemies of America, and never swayed. He is like a rock and does not move. Heck, he did not get so much as a single republican vote for his socialist health care. That is pretty impressive, and should make hard core progressives and communists proud of thier candidate. Unfortunately for Obama, it seems that much of America is looking for someone that can work for all of America, and not just the wing nuts on the left.

  @soundtracktowar. So right, if the left is so dang tolerant of all sorts of people, then shouldn’t they stop being hypocrites and be tolerant of cheaters and adulterers? I mean, it is most likely something you are born with and you don’t want to make these people feel bad, like it was their fault or something. That really hurts the adulterer’s feelings when you come down so hard on them. If we could all just be a little more tolerant of them…

  OMGOSH…they can’t get ANYTHING on MITT’S immediate personal life…so they reach out of anything ROMNEY and back 24 years? THAT means that this divorced woman has spent over 1/3 of her life in this locked-in bitterness!!
  THIS TIME, I HOPE that ALLRED has so overstepped her capacity that she gets disbarred. For once and for all. This woman (the former wife of the Staples man) is obviously mentally ill. AGAIN…it proved that OBAMA can’t run on his record and now he’s being SLAMMED and uncovered as a GUN RUNNING, MURDERING, INEPT TRAITOR who should be in jail…and all these creeps can come up with is a 24 year old testimony as a witness (not involved) to a divorce?
  
  PS ETCHY et al : How many people does it take to tell you little PAULBOTS that YOU are the greatest flaw Ron Paul had !! GO ahead and vote for the lying, traitorous Murderer. That’s what you are doing if you aren’t voting for ROMNEY… as if you think that our SYSTEM in AMERICA will continue if that SOB gets back in office. But you and SOYSAUCE need to wise up. WHY did RAND PAUL ENDORSE ROMNEY?

  Furthermore…Obama is a pillar of integrity right? Right?
  
  I mean..when he signed that order to close Gitmo he meant it.
  
  When he said he’d halve the deficit by the end of his first term..he meant it. Right?
  
  When Obama appeared before a crowd in Selma, Alabama and said “don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma” citing the rally there as the reason his parents “got together” and “Barack Obama Jr was born” he meant it right? Yeah but..the rally occured in 1965 and Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961..in fact..by the end of 1961 his parents had parted ways. But that’s some real Obama integrity right there.
  
  You need better material clownshoes.

  First of all I am so glad this election is almost over enough! Second, why is it we always have to go after a Republican Candidate the liberal Democrats and their surrogates have way to much time on their hands. I really do not care what happen in a family court years ago. What I care about right now is the direction our country is going and right now the only person who can help with jobs and the economy is Mitt Romney. Why is Gloria wasting our time our country is in trouble why does she not litigate a case against President Obama and his Libya gated. This is crazy how much money is she getting for trying to sway the election? I will tell you this all the tricks the democrats try to pull are going to backfire and this is why. Americans are getting smart, the President has been protected by the media and the result is he has been not so truthful when it comes to Libya, the economy, and yes in reference to religious freedom. He has attacked the Catholic Church and it does matter because if he is President again who knows what other rights he will take away. Why does everyone have to put their two cents into an election let each candidate present their record and that is that let everyone vote and then who ever gets the most votes wins. I cannot believe how much the Democrats want and enjoy destroying people. If President Obama had a record he would be winning but he has no record We the Americans know that and it is time for a change, he failed at the job.

  This is just a bitter president using a 20+ year old acrimonious divorce trial to his benefit. She will be worse off than if she had never agreed to be used by Allred. Where are the continuing follow ups on the people Allred trots out in front of the Press for hit pieces on prominent figures Allred hates.
  
  This is more about Gloria Allred than it is about the truth or presidential election. You see she has to be paid a fee to continue her law practice and someone has to pay it either taxpayers or rich Democrat/Progressive Donors.

  All RED reminds me of a cat who loves her potty box so she can dig around to find just the right spot.
  She deposits her dirt then tries to cover it up by scratching and scratching so no one will find out.
  
  Her place in this society is to Aim, Fire and Destroy anyone who can give her a few bucks for any cause that might have a story, true or untrue, it doesn’t matter to her. She’s an old lady with a heart of steel who’d run anyone in the ground (or litter box) if it serves her purpose to keep her name out there, because of who she is, an old hag who’d turn in her own mother if it paid her salary.

It has been litigated and re-litigated,” one source with knowledge of the the divorce proceedings tells me. “She has attempted to get her settlement overturned, but failed. She appealed the decision, and failed. She tried to take her case to the State Supreme Court, and was rejected. She has accused her husband and others of defrauding her, to no avail. She has sued her attorneys for malpractice, and lost. She has declared bankruptcy, and tried to sell her story as a book and a movie, also to no avail.”

  Well, that’s similar to saying too bad Abe Lincoln wasn’t around to write the Constitution. Joe died in 1969; Allred didn’t become a lawyer until 1975. I’m assuming you know this, but it looked like you were implying Allred specifically refused to take the case at the time.

  This also indirectly would give more exposure in rebuttal to Obama’s GM lies and Ben-Ghazi cover up attempts. Coming this close to the election…not a good idea and could easily turn against him.
  
  And last but not least in fighting you should never ever telegraph a punch especially if this is being billed as the “October Surprise” punch. It will fall flat on its face. You watch. Welcome President Romney! Praise the Lord!

  Romney valued the shares, the couple had, at $2 a piece (a lie). The offering started at $19 a share.
  
  The wife was screwed out of $17 a share X the amount she received,

  I’ve wondered how All-Red’s daughter feels when her mother freely admits to having a Mexican abortion, and is radically pro baby-killing. Does she ever admit to herself chances are she would have been aborted if Roe V Wade had been the law when she was conceived? Probably not–Lisa Bloom has been completely indoctrinated in extreme leftist/ACLU worldview.

I LOVE it when the Prog/Libs make it easy for us: I really do. Since some don’t get it, allow me to make clear what’s about to happen. Gloria Allred and the MSM will make a big deal that this shows how little Romney thinks of women in general because he was trying to cheat her out of money. However, that leads to the next obvious question, “Er, okay. So what happened? Did her husband give her nothing thanks to Mitt Romney?” Nope. See she got so much Staples stock that when she sold HALF of it, she was worth $5 Million…BEFORE the company went public. Allred is trying to trot out a wealthy woman made wealthier by her divorce to claim Mitt Romney cheated her out of MORE money.

Please go on this train liberals: I beg you to do it. Please become the defenders of the selfish, greedy 1% you claim to hate. PLEASE take this to America and argue that this $5 million wasn’t enough money for this obviously bitter woman and try to hold her up as the average America housewife. PLEASE do it because I’m ready for Mitt Romney to be President and if you do this ends the election today.

  No by all means WHACKO/HORSEDANCER/ad nauseum…keep running from Obama’s employment record and growing deficits while demeaning others for not drinking the same Kool Aid you enjoy drinking.
  Speaking of running from records….the state department and Obama knew that a terrorist group had claimed responsibility for the Benghazi consulate attack within hours of it taking place yet they still chose to blame a poorly crafted anti-mohammed film for the “spontaneous protest”, even going to the extent of getting airtime for an ad in Pakistan..sorry “Pah Kee Stahn”…apologizing to the perpetually outraged muslims around the world.
  $90K of tax payer money to apologise to a group of terrorists who planned and carried out an attack on US interests. You drooling idiot.

  And from the depths of hell comes the illustrious opinions of none other than: Wango! The man who has no backbone to chime in on the Libyan attacks because they’re indefensible, or the ridiculous statements made by his boy Obama throughout the debates, and the list goes on. But when a malcontent like communist All-red swings in on her broom rightfully so on October, out of the fiery pit comes Wango as if he has some kind of a pivotal point in this discussion. Go back to the depths of hell from whence you came, Satan!

Gloria Allred is an embarrassment to the legal profession. Honestly, if Romney were committing perjury, why didn’t the wife’s attorney call him on it? Surely she wasn’t represented by a gutter snipe with all the money at stake. Hopefully, a Massachusetts court won’t care what use Gloria Allred wants to make of testimony in a sealed case for her own political motivation. A smart judge would take the matter under advisement until November 8, 2012.

So, Clinton can get a Lewinsky in the Oval office and it between him and his wife, but Romney obeys a subpoena to testify and does and it is wrong?

Obama can support Muslim terrorist with our tax dollars so they can afford to mercy kill rape victims, but Romney submits the rule of law in a divorce case and his hates women?

Liberals/Socialist/Progressives/Communists are truly evil creatures.

  I think you have it about right. Old Gloria thinks she has him in a catch 22 (he either lied and the jilted ex got shafted, or he told the truth and hung his “friend” out to dry). But I am convinced that the American people are tired of her, tired of being lawyered, tired of the left leaning media, and tired of Obama.

Too bad “All-RED” does not do this type of investigation on Obama because this would look like a kid stealing a tootsie pop in comparison. If you’re gonna’ spill the beans about one candidate you may as well do it on the other. But the left only has an agenda and so do we… remove Obama and worry about the other stuff later.

By the way, I think this will have the same effect the “swift boat” effect had on Bush…backfire.

  Gee, this reminds me of the Jack and Jerri Ryan divorce where the media had a judge open sealed custody records to harm Jack Ryan’s run for Congress.
  
  When Jack Ryan’s campaign for an open United States Senate seat in Illinois began in 2003, the Chicago Tribune newspaper and WLS-TV, the local ABC affiliate, sought to have his records released. Both Jeri and Jack agreed to make their divorce, but not custody, records public, saying their release could be harmful to their son.[29] On June 18, 2004, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider agreed to release the custody files.[30] The decision generated much controversy because it went against both parents’ direct request and because it generally reversed the early decision to seal the papers in the best interest of the child. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeri_Ryan
  
  Somehow or other, regardless of what the records reveal, Gloria Allred will come out looking the worst simply because it’s clear she wants to smear Romney regardless of the damage to anyone else. At least Donald Trump is offering money to B.O. for his records rather than trying to take someone down regardless of how much it harms others.

  Here in the U.S. it’s the other way around. Left wing women like to beat the the hell out of their men (husbands, boyfriends, male strangers) or use phychological torture. Guys have even lost their johnsons to some of these leftwing shemen. Look at Gloria. She’s got the look that will un-plump (shrival) a well roasted Hoffy hotdog. When she wraps her hairy legs around her man, you’ve got to know it’s not for pleasure, but to crush every ounce of sense out of him, not to mention cash. Gloria, Nancy Pelosie, Barabra Boxer and Rodan are the female faces of liberal America and if you ask me they all look like ‘black widows’ as in the deadly spider, not to be confused with Maxine Waters, who looks like one too.

  Readers: Please read “Black3actual’s” again. He has, correctly, reminded us that this Allred “thing” is all about keeping your awareness of the Benghazi reality covered up with Allred’s foolishness. There is no time for that. Keep your energies on getting EVERYONE aware of how our Ambassador, a young son, and 2 Navy Seals were MURDERED in a premeditated fashion. After that event was aired directly to the WH situation room, the president WENT TO BED. Next day, and for 14 more days, the administration and all its tentacles LIED in every contact with the public. Those are verified facts which apparently have been ignored by the MSM – but they ARE facts, and they are damning to this administration.

  Don’t be nasty to Wango. He’s got some good qualities. He dresses up in a silk vad-gina costume, on occasion, in support of womens rights to go unshaven. It’s his type of beard along with the authentic outfit that makes him look so real. I’m to understand Ol Bill Clinton, when saw it, got all stirred up over the realitic look. Wango’s got a new friend in Bill for life. Anyway, it takes a lot of nerve to do that (either that or he’s nuts) and I think the unshaven thing is a worthy cause.

  Really! Obama is the worst president in my life time. Carter is just another useful idiot but Obama is deliberately trying to destroy America. Obama is acting out his father’s dream to impose “Social Justice” on white America by destroying their power and influence. After Obama was elected, he embarked on what many called his “Apology Tour.” Obama didn’t apologize for America, he condemned America! A better name would have been “Obama’s GD America Tour” named in honor of his good friend Rev. Wright. Obama is a bullhorn bigot. There is nothing subdued or covert about Obama’s “antipathy to people who aren’t ” black. He regularly expresses his “antipathy” for white religious Americans — especially the wealthy ones — and his liberal media surrogates shield him from criticism.
