168. Wasn't there something re: Staples stock undervalued in his campaign manager's divorce case?

Last edited Wed Oct 24, 2012, 06:03 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)

He testified in his longtime friend & business buddy's divorce re: stock value less than market estimates. (public record for the most part ) The thing is...if my memory serves me...like a month or so after this divorce was settled, Staples went public. (the shares were worth much more then)

I hope it is something about his blatant dishonesty whether it's about his taxes, his history with women as Bishop in the LDS, or perhaps something to do with an illegal act be it perjury or financial scheming.

As far as Bollocks Trump is concerned it's a tie between ratings grabber for CA, or just something he thinks will distract ppl from whatever GA is presenting to be unsealed.

I won't get my hopes up. Could it be an

ctober surprise? (in the best of ways)
