Whoever is moderating Turley’s blog has let a comment by me stay up on the blog:

Would now be a good time, Professor Turley, to take another look at the evidence that President Obama has also been dishonest about the authenticity of his birth certificate pdf image that he “released” to the press, but not to any plaintiff in any court?

Here is local Arizona CBS coverage of Sheriff Arpaio’s presser which has been suppressed, IMO by the cult of personality running the national media (aided by intimidation in some cases, I suspect, such as Fox News):

Here is Arpaio’s full presser from March 1, 2012. (Reportedly Arpaio has accumulated additional federally certified forensic document laboratory confirmation of the forgery and is awaiting congressional support for a select committee investigation.):

Note that on the White House’s own website the transcript of the BC “release” event shows Dan Pfeiffer and Bob Bauer exhibiting obvious “plausible deniability” tactics as well as “consciousness of guilt” behavior:

Q And this is going to sound — I mean, you can just anticipate what people are going to — remain unconvinced. They’re going to say that this is just a photocopy of a piece of paper, you could have typed anything in there. Will the actual certificate be on display or viewable at any — (laughter.)

Q Will the President be holding it?

MR. PFEIFFER: He will not, and I will not leave it here for him to do so. But it will — the State Department of Health in Hawaii will obviously attest that that is a — what they have on file. As Bob said, it’s in a book in Hawaii.

MR. BAUER: And you’ll see the letter from the director of the Health Department that states that she oversaw the copy and is attesting to –

Q But do you understand that this could quiet the conspiracy theorists?

MR. PFEIFFER: There will always be some selection of people who will believe something, and that’s not the issue.
