The Staples Affair

Did Mitt Romney lie in court about the value of a friend's Staples stock? In a messy divorce, Tom Stemberg, founder of Staples, had Mitt Romney testify as to the value of Staples stock. Bain Capital had been instrumental in establishing Staples, hence had a very big stake in it. The company, however, had not yet gone public. Was Mitt saving his friend's financial ass by purposely undervaluing the stock? Some time later, Staples went public at a much greater value.

Romney lying about something/anything would certainly not be new: some argue that his entire campaign has been a lie (check out the Costco interview as reviewed by David Letterman). However, an alleged lie under oath for purposes of cheating a friend's ex-wife out of million$ cannot sit very well with even some hard-core Romney supporters.

Both candidates have teams of dirt diggers who have spent months and months trying to find anything on their opponent, but somehow Gloria Allred and/or Donald Trump found the smoking gun that they all missed. Nothing revealed today will affect the election in any way.
