Does Trump Have Obama Divorce Papers? And If He Did, Why Would He Release Them?
New York Mag ^

Posted on 10/23/2012 2:26:50 PM PDT by TigerClaws

For a while today, it seemed like Donald Trump's "big ... very big ... very big" bombshell revelation about President Obama, which he has promised to unveil on Twitter tomorrow, might be an anonymous rumor that Obama sold cocaine in college, but Trump's right-hand man, Michael Cohen, has denied it. Trump's scoop is "substantially more important to the American people," Cohen told Daily Caller. Or ... is it? Douglas Kass, a Florida-based investor who appears on CNBC’s talkshow ‘Squawkbox’ where Trump is often a commentator, tweeted to his 48,000 followers: 'High above the Alps my Gnome has heard that Donald Trump will announce that he has unearthed divorce papers between the Prez and his wife.'

Obama getting shed of the Mooch? Hell, that would probably GAIN him votes. People would give him more credit for a brain than they have in the past.

People around the country are filling out absentee ballots, or engaging in other forms of early voting. The big day itself is just around the corner: time is very short.

Trump has news -- big news! -- hang on! You're gonna want to hear all about this!

He'll let you know in a day or two.

What a joke.

Hey Trump, get a haircut, you look like a girl. An ugly one.

Divorce papers? That might be damaging if it was...1912.

I tend to agree with the author’s premise. The MSM would do the “woe is me” outrage for Obama. It would serve no good to release this unless there was something extremely embarrassing in it.

Remember Obama managed to get Ryan’s divorce papers made public during his senate campaign. Payback would be a dirty, but fitting way for Obama to lose this race.

If you remember 0bama’s campaign had his opponent’s divorce papers unsealed and it contained the candidate’s wanting his wife to go to a swinger’s club with him. It destroyed the guys career.

If this happened in Illinois, I am guessing that Illinois must not be a no fault divorce state and that some kind of grounds has to be named. Wouldn’t really want to speculate on what those grounds might be.

I hope the Romney campaign denounces this when it comes out. I hope they are in the dark as much as we are. I am not really in favor of this garbage coming out because of the potential damage to the Obama girls.

Maybe Obama abused her like he abused the country for the last 4 years. Inquiring minds want to know

Maybe Trump has the divorce papers from 0bama’s Columbia b/f.

So Obama loses 180 lbs. of ugly fat. Where’s the downside?

Court sets release of Ryan's divorce file; Judge admits son will be harmed (Flashback)
Chicago Tribune ^ | June 18, 2004 | Michael Martinez and Rick Pearson

Posted on Friday, July 17, 2009 11:24:14 PM by Red Steel

LOS ANGELES - Dealing a blow to the U.S. Senate candidacy of Republican Jack Ryan, a California judge ruled that several sealed divorce records likely to embarrass the candidate and his ex-wife should be opened to the public.

Ruling on a request brought by attorneys for the Tribune and WLS-TV, Superior Court Judge Robert Schnider acknowledged that the resulting publicity from the disclosure would be harmful to the couple's son, a key argument Ryan had raised in seeking to keep the documents from public view.

But Schnider said he had weighed the public interest of disclosure against the private interests of the Ryans and their child. "In the end," Schnider found, "the balance tips slightly to the public.

"They were aware they were in a public court system and protection from embarrassment cannot be a basis for keeping from the public what's put in public courts," said Schnider, referring to Ryan and his ex-wife, actress Jeri Lynn Ryan. Additionally, Schnider said, "the openness of court files must be maintained, so that the public ... can be assured that there is no favoritism shown to the rich and the powerful."

The judge did not elaborate on the nature of the allegations.

Ryan is facing Democrat Barack Obama for the Senate seat being vacated by one-term Republican Sen. Peter Fitzgerald.

Recent warnings

In recent days, Ryan had begun warning leading Republicans that he expected embarrassing information about him would be contained in documents that the judge ordered released

-snip-

Portions of the Ryans' divorce records were placed under seal by Schnider in the fall of 2001.

-snip-

In the current case, Jeri Ryan has joined her ex-husband in opposing the release.

This kind of thing could backfire bigtime, unless there is some really dirty laundry in there. In any case, I doubt Romney wants this distraction now.

Might be interesting if the rumors of Obama’s homosexuality is listed as one of the grounds for divorce.

You could be right but if one gets a divorce bump what does that say for the future of the country anyways?

Would only be big news if it’s because “Bathhouse Barry” was getting a little too much “Reggie” Love on the side.....
