Mitt guilty of felony perjury?

Almost a whiff of desperation in this latest hack job. Maybe Obama's internal polling numbers are looking bad.

There is no disputing the facts. Mutt claimed that he was not involved in management of Bain after 1998. Yet he is listed as President, CEO, COB and sole owner of Bain until 2002 in filings with the SEC. If he considers the CEO, COB and President not to be management, what kind of businessman is he? Further, he testified in 2002 that he was actively involved in business with Bain during the winter olympics so that he could be considered a resident of Massachusetts even though he was not living there so he could run for governor. His tax returns for that time period would certainly help clear this up.

It's already cleared up...

CNN reported last night that the accusations from Team Obama of felonious conduct are sheer nonsense and lies — and got that message from four executives at Bain, two of whom are “active” supporters of Barack Obama. John King spoke to all four, three of whom are Democrats, and all four said that Mitt Romney left Bain in a big hurry in 1999 in order to work full time on rescuing the Salt Lake City Olympics. The rushed departure created a lot of paperwork headaches as Bain tried to unwind Romney from leadership, which required a significant amount of time. That’s why the company had Romney’s name on their SEC paperwork the next two years, as King reports:

CNN isn’t alone in debunking the ludicrous charge of felonious conduct made by Team Obama. FactCheck concluded that even with the “new” evidence produced by the Boston Globe, it still points to the same conclusion:

Put it simply: Team Obama is lying, and it continues to lie about Romney. They are desperate to find a way to make Romney’s time at Bain work in their favor, and that desperation has nearly reached pathological levels. Still, for Obama, it beats talking about the economy, jobs, the deficit, and anything else that actually matters to voters.

Mitt Romney Bain Mess Shows Stonewalling Consequences

[T]he timeline defense is opening an entire new line of media inquiry about the facts -- and opening a new line of inquiry is the last thing you want to do. And the question was -- and is -- whether Mitt Romney was really and truly dialed out of Bain, and too busy in Salt Lake City with preparing for the Olympics to notice that American jobs were being shipped overseas?

It didn't take reporters long to start digging through documents. Fortune magazine found some documents supporting Romney's narrative. But others found that, in SEC filings, Romney's name was listed as the leader of record of Bain through 2002.

The Huffington Post reported on Thursday that, as he prepared to run for governor of Massachusetts in 2002, Romney suddenly had an interest in showing that he WAS involved in Bain business from 1999 to 2002. In a lawsuit filed by Democrats seeking to question his residency, Romney said that he had worked closely on trips back to Boston with at least one Bain-owned company, LifeLike Corp., and had gone to board meetings for Staples and Marriott.

The impression you get is of a guy who was whatever the form in front of him required him to be -- not great advertising for a presidential candidate.

Boston Globe Reporter Defends Romney Bain Story To Maddow: 'They're Not Getting' A Correction (VIDEO)

The Boston Globe journalist who helped set off a huge controversy over discrepancies surrounding Mitt Romney's involvement with Bain Capital defended his reporting to Rachel Maddow on Thursday.

Romney has long said that he left the private equity firm in 1999. Yet, following up on reporting by Mother Jones and Talking Points Memo, the Globe reported that Securities and Exchange Commission filings showed Romney listed as "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" of Bain in 2001, and as "Executive" in 2002.

The Romney campaign called the story inaccurate and demanded a correction. The Globe refused.

Speaking to Maddow, Christopher Rowland, the Globe's Washington bureau chief and one of the reporters on the story, said that the discrepancy was important because Romney has used his supposed departure date to bat away criticism about Bain's dealings after 1999.

"This has been his main talking point when confronted with things like bankruptcies and layoffs," he said.

Rowland said that the Romney campaign's narrative "really paints a totally different picture of Mitt Romney's involvement with the firm" than the filings show. "If you look at the paperwork alone, it shows that he was the man in charge," he said, adding that this was a "big, startling change" from what Romney has publicly stated.

These are FACTS, Jack... Romney's name is on the papers. He lied... It's called perjury...

Mitt Romney's Own 2002 Testimony Undermines Bain Departure Claim

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney's repeated claim that he played no part in executive decision-making related to Bain Capital after 1999 is false, according to Romney's own testimony in June 2002, in which he admitted to sitting on the board of the LifeLike Co., a dollmaker that was a Bain investment during the period.

Romney has consistently insisted that he was too busy organizing the 2002 Winter Olympics to take part in Bain business between 1999 and that event. But in the testimony, which was provided to The Huffington Post, Romney noted that he regularly traveled back to Massachusetts. "[T]here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth," he said.

Romney's sworn testimony was given as part of a hearing to determine whether he had sufficient residency status in Massachusetts to run for governor.

Romney testified that he "remained on the board of the Staples Corporation and Marriott International, the LifeLike Corporation" at the time.

Yet in the Aug. 12, 2011, federal disclosure form filed as part of his presidential bid, he said, "Mr. Romney retired from Bain Capital on February 11, 1999 to head the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Since February 11, 1999, Mr. Romney has not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way."

Hmmm... Sworn Testimony... That's a FACT, Jack. It's called perjury...

Funny how children like Dr Shill are anxious to quickly bury this one when their only real chance of beating President Obama is to ditch the Mitt and find a new candidate ...I hear Herman Cain's not doing much...

Hahahahaha!

Factcheck called this story a lie
Washington Post called this a lie
Supporters of Obama called this a lie

All the Lady Jazzer screaming fonts and constant repeating the same thing over and over will not change the facts. And all the facts, the truth, is presented in multiple links on this thread. The Washington Post and Factcheck.org are both left leaning organizations and they have nothing to gain by presenting the truth.

Nothing to gain but the truth.

speaking of lies, neither WP or Factcheck stated that the statements were lies, only that there was not sufficient evidence to prove them at this time.
