Then I tried an experiment in which I ran off a duplicate of the memos, produced in MS Word in Times New Roman, then copied it twice and faxed it once. The result was distorted in the same way as the memos.
But one factor that couldn't be distorted was the unique spacing characteristics, which match identically--IDENTICALLY--with the MS Word default settings in Times New Roman.
In order for the documents to be genuine, the person who produced them would have to have known those default values and painstakingly applied them in a manner in which he would have had no interest in doing.
So you are attacking the good name of the president. You offer up third generation copies (a major red flag, because, one would expect forgers to create copies of copies to hide their origin). You are producing documents which were purportedly produced by a man who is now dead. The provenance of the documents is questionable, items mentioned in memo do not correspond with their dates. These documents have not cleared the necessary first hurdles. Now were are to forget all that, and swallow the unlikely fact that theoretically, these documents could have been produced with technology at the time despite fact that no other contemporaneous documents exist from TANG using that typeface. And I haven't even mentioned kerning, the signatures, the problems with Jargon, the lack of a letterhead, and the paper size issue. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Simply saying the documents have been made does not even begin to address the ancillary issues that have been raised.
