Showing Original Post only (View all)One REASON Romney Wanted To Win: Post Election Romney & Bain Face Fed. Corruption & Perjury Hearing [View all]
Poiticus USA - Ten days ago, this column reported on a Delaware bankruptcy courts failure to enter an Emergency Motion into the public docket that included Bain Capital and Romney operatives 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 ...

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.

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.

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 Capitals 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.

OP
You are correct (though your logic is missing a piece) - there's NO Statute of Limitations in eToys

I'm the source of the story and the crimes began in 2001 (and are continuous) - Romney was CEO 2001
