One REASON Romney Wanted To Win: Post Election Romney & Bain Face Fed. Corruption & Perjury Hearing

Poiticus USA - Ten days ago, this column reported on a Delaware bankruptcy court’s failure to enter an Emergency Motion into the public docket that included Bain Capital and Romney operative’s perjury and corruption in the eToys bankruptcy case. At the time it appeared the judge was protecting Romney and Bain Capital by suppressing the motion in expectation he would win the election and have the motion tossed out of court ...


http://www.politicususa.com/post-election-romney-bain-face-federal-corruption-perjury-hearing.html




Well now that he lost the election, it appears the allegation had merit because on November 7, the day after his crushing defeat, the Delaware bankruptcy court judge entered the motion into the public docket and scheduled a hearing for December 4, 2012; all on the same day.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/113412894/Notice-of-Hearing-Dec-4-2012


It was a victory for the whistleblower and eToys investors, and incriminating for the Delaware court and Willard Romney because although the judge received the Emergency Motion on October 24th, it was withheld from the public docket until after it was clear Romney lost the election and would not be appointing an attorney general to drop the case.



According to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 79 says when a motion is received by the court,


“The clerk must keep a record known as the civil docket, and must enter each civil action in the docket and assign consecutive file numbers, which must be noted in the docket where the first entry of the action is made.”

http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp




Instead of putting the Emergency Motion into the public docket immediately when it was received, it was held up until the day after the election and gives the very believable appearance the court was waiting for election results before either acting on the Motion according to the law, or letting it languish until Romney appointed a friendly attorney general.


Assuming Romney would appoint a friend of Bain as attorney general is an entirely realistic assumption because Bain Capital’s corrupt lawyers were let off the hook when George W. Bush appointed another Bain lawyer as Delaware U.S. Attorney who refused to investigate and eventually drop the eToys case instead of prosecuting and forcing Bain to repay investors who were bilked out of their money.

Willard was there in the thick of things when the eToys caper went down. And maybe he continued to engage in criminal activities afterward as part of the coverup that he can be prosecuted for.

This story is a couple of weeks old and you may have already seen it, but it's neverteless an interesting refresher:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/02/1154336/-NEWS-BREAK-PoliticusUSA-com-story-Mitt-Romney-Benefited-Fraud-Corruption-Racketeering-eToys

To sum it up, Bain Capital attorneys committed Perjury to become the eToys Debtor's counsel, Creditors attorney and place their cohort in as President/ CEO. Then they "betrayed" their sworn duty to eToys, the shareholders and creditors for the sake of their secret client Bain Capital/ Kay Bee. When a bribe attempt was made and reported to the Delaware Department of Justice; a Bain Capital law firm attorney

(Colm Connolly - pictured right) was made the United States Attorney on August 2, 2001 and was a MNAT law firm partner in early 1999 (the SAME Exact time period that Mitt Romney is seeking to be "retroactively" resigned from). (Please see Dept of Justice Office of Legal Policy archived Resume of Mr. Connolly [here]).

The story is finally OUT by an up & coming Matt Taibbi type in the making (PoliticusUSA reporter Rmuse). Please read and spread the word to stop this Mitt Romney/ Bain Capital criminal disaster from trying to become an Al Capone in the White House?

32. You are correct (though your logic is missing a piece) - there's NO Statute of Limitations in eToys
Sat Nov 17, 2012, 01:42 AM

Number 1 - SOL begins once the case is closed (they kept it open until after the election - to prevent me suing in California)

Number 2 - Fraud on the Court - by an "officer" of the Court (key term) - has NO SOL's
(see case of In re Hazel Atlas Glass http://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/322/238/case.html

The U.S. Supreme Court RE-opened a case that was closed for many years
because the ruling was accomplished by fraud from the attorneys.

Finally, beyond the fact that the crimes are continuous (today the filed a Motion that is another LIE)
the fact of the matter is - Bankruptcy Fraud SOL's begin "after" the case closes and runs for 5 years.

This case is still open (and as remarked - the crimes are CONTINUOUS)

Plus - he escaped culpability for 11 1/2 years - due to Federal Corruption.

No SOL for Fraud on the Court by Officers of the Court

8. From Steven Haas's Opening Remarks..
Fri Nov 16, 2012, 01:24 PM
Nov 2012
Bain Capital’s Toys R Us entity is in the possession of the stolen property of eToys.
Priorto this time, MNAT (as eToys debtor’s counsel) and Paul Traub (as eToys Creditors’ counsel), confessed
lying thirty (30) times to this court deliberately to conceal their conflicts of interest to multiple parties. The Code & Rule of Law under Section 327(a) unambiguously dictates their disqualification. However, due to corruption, the court was unwittingly duped to pardon them.They took the pearl of leniency and trampled over this court with further lies. Hiding the fact that they all (secretly) work for Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital in their sinful quest to destroy the eToys public company. A neon elephant in the room that no one, thus far , has been able to see, is Bain Capital CEO’s wicked desire to be “ retroactively ” resigned from the eToys crimes in 2001.


Colm Connolly was a MNAT partner from the spring of 1999 to August 2001. They tried to buy me off. When I reported their criminal intents, Colm Connolly became the U.S. Attorneyin August 2001; who then refused to investigate and / or prosecute Bain Capital for 7 years.


Enigmatically, even after Smoking Gun evidences forced (some ) confessions, the courtapproved attorneys for Collateral Logistics realized justice was a ghost in this case and joined thedark side. Every single counsel, upon all sides of the eToys case, earnestly hopes Mitt Romney will become the President of the United States and reward them. Thy staunchly refused to inform federal authorities about their knowledge of statutory violations before during and after the fact ,(violating 18 U.S.C. § MisPrison of a Felony). Seeking to bully this whistleblower, who is also a witness/ victim; this petitioner’s very own counsel for Collateral Logistics, Inc., did email a threat from Bain Capital’s Paul Traub’s firm that I must “ back off ”. Therefore I, Steven Haas( also known as Laser Haas), the sole, 100% owner of Collateral Logistics, Inc., due to crimes of counsels in eToys and rogue federal agents betrayal of their oaths to the Constitution of these United States, left with no other choice, must address this court as a whistleblower“ pro se”.


Whereas this petitioner avers that the attestations of additional frauds are true and correct. That during and after
this honorable body ordered the bad faith parties to come clean and granted leniency; Goldman Sachs & Bain Capital cronies continued their fraud on this court by Perjury. This court’s Opinion established that it is wrong to reward conflicted attorneys while punishing plaintiffs. Thus this petitioner respectfully requests the compensation equitably due and/ or that the court pay this petitioner by § 503 Substantial Contribution, and/ orsua sponte. Within this Court’s Opinion of October 4, 2005 the court was jurisprudent enough to provide a“comfort order ” protection against any further deceitful acts. Therefore, this activist also prays this court disqualify the parties and remove the Administrator Barry Gold for “ cause” under Plan Section 5.2 and reinstate petitioner to preserve/ secure eToys and “ wind-down” the estate?

everyone that gets excited about information like this, as I said in another post referencing these shenanigans of mittshit and bain. A lot of very powerful people have known about this and in conjunction with their media surrogates have buried this from mainstream public scrutiny via television, radio. If mittshit spends a day in court or behind bars, pigs in lipstick will fly.

But like all legal actions, the further the case proceeds, the more likely little factual nuggets become public.

The hearing is on December 4th 2012.....I'm NOT holding my breath for some breaking news development to arise from the hearing but the unexpected should ALWAYS be factored in regardless how small that sliver is on the pie chart.

Romney, his attorney and his campaign staff have ALL confessed he was "technically" CEO until August 2001

However, he seeks to be "retroactively" retired from August 2001 - back to February 1999.

The reason being - his MNAT law firm partner (Colm Connolly) was a partner with MNAT from March 1999 to August 2, 2001
(see his resume here http://www.justice.gov/archive/olp/colmconnollyresume.htm )

After being appointed as U.S. Attorney in August 2001;
Connolly buried the Bain Capital/ eToys fraud for 7 years.

This is a busy map but worth exploring. Tools are on the left margin. Also, scroll down for even more info and links.
