President Obama and his campaign staffer working overtime to try to paint Mitt Romney as an expert.

Outsource or claiming he ship jobs overseas when he headed up Bain Capital but there might be some serious problems with their facts.

Fox News legal analyst and attorney Peter Johnson junior has reviewed Mitt Romney's record of being capital -- is here he's put on his lawyer -- To set the record straight you know I approach -- as if I've been retained by corporate client to review some records.

And make a determination recommendation about -- -- -- right so I spent a good part of Saturday and yesterday looking at the available records.

On -- the available news reports with regard to.

Mitt Romney's involvement would -- capital whether in fact he'd left.

In early 1999 to go to the Salt Lake Olympics right and my review the documents shows that yes he did leave in 1999.

And know the SEC documents do not.

Do not confirm the allegations made by Stephanie Cutter.

The president's top paid.

That somehow Mitt Romney committed a if felonies so let's let's look at similar conclusions are the evidence show that -- joining will be bail -- 1999.

Full time that's been determined by a Massachusetts.

-- state committee as well as an absentee -- he continued.

To make the necessary SEC filings.

Which I looked at online.

As well.

It in fact Harvey Pitt the former SEC chairman has indicated that.

He was obligated by law to in -- make those of filings whether or not he was operationally.

A running those companies are not.

The truth is there's been no evidence provided -- all by anyone that that Mitt Romney was actually running.

-- making specific decisions about Bain Capital for those three years from 1999.

To 2000 effect has been determination.

That he was working six days a week.

Twelve hours -- -- and not helping save the Olympics from a billion dollar deficit.

Mitt Romney is not listed in 2002001.

-- offering documents as an investment manager.

That's important they listed about twenty other people and part of -- who were actually responsible.

For the investments that were being -- His name.

Is not included although his name is about on another hundred different documents that were filed with the SEC.

And the bipartisan messages -- ballot law commission ruled that the hearings.

Mitt Mitt Romney was engaged full time at the Olympics from 99 and 2002.

Now the other point that's not being reported really and in in some of the mainstream media is that three organizations.

At least including fact check dot -- Washington Post.

Fact checker and fortune magazine have all cleared Mitt Romney on the -- bomb allegations.

About -- and in fact Glenn Kessler.

All of the Washington Post fact check there in getting three Pinocchio is -- to this -- said quote the Obama campaign is blowing smoke here.

The weight of evidence suggests that Romney.

Did in fact and active management of Bain.

In 1999.

So.

I think it's important to separate the facts from the fiction.

This is a in intense political season there'll be charges made on both sides but the heart of it seems to be.

Was Mitt Romney actually involved.

With Bain and making decisions about allegations.

Of outsourcing during that period.

If he wasn't running the company even though he owned it right.

How can -- be responsible and it seems to be.

No data are avid evidence that shows that he was operational control saying so -- of -- -- saint -- that that if folks seed.

-- President Obama say he's an outsource or cheaper anything like that.

That is a flat out lie based on the fact that the evidence shows that he was not running the company at -- at -- that that time and fact.

-- holding -- in the Olympic effort.

There doesn't seem to be any evidence I was looking for facts there are no facts we'll see what develops but at this point.

Every -- banks said no Mitt Romney was not running the company -- we war.

There you go folks now you know the rest of the story.

Thank you Peter good job okay he worked on -- -- that good report.
