Yet perhaps even more shocking was a 45-second segment of the interview that has received scant attention: A claim by Arpaio that he’s close to discovering who forged Barack Obama’s birth certificate.
His comments were made between 9:59 and 10:44 in the interview and began as an explanation of why he would not run for Arizona governor despite appeals to do so. Arpaio said, “I would have to resign; I’m not going to leave this office to somebody coming in when I have sensitive investigations going.”
And then came the bombshell. Arpaio continued: “including the president’s birth certificate — I haven’t finished that yet.”
Picking up the ball, Humphries asked just a bit later, “Do you still believe that the president was not born in the country? Do you still think there’s a problem with the birth certificate? This prompted Arpaio to reply, with evident passion:
You know, I don’t care where he was born. It has nothing to do with it. I’m concerned about a forged, fraudulent government document; from day one I’ve been investigating that. Now we have to find out who’s behind that; I’m getting close to that. But I’m looking at a fraudulent document. Anybody else would go to jail.
This should raise eyebrows coming from Arpaio. Love him or hate him — and few are indifferent about “America’s Toughest Sheriff” — his reputation is that of a straight-shooter not given to hyperbole. So his claim of being close to discovering the forger of Obama’s birth certificate is to be taken seriously.
Arpaio launched the birth-certificate investigation in 2011, in response to a complaint by the Surprise, Arizona Tea Party, with the creation of a five-person, volunteer "Cold Case Posse" consisting of “two former law enforcement officers, two retired attorneys, and retired New Jersey police detective Michael Zullo,” reported the online Daily Caller at the time.
And on July 17, 2012, the results were announced. After having already declared in March of that year that the president’s long-form birth certificate was likely a computer-generated forgery, Arpaio’s investigators could make a definitive statement.
Obama’s birth certificate is “definitely fraudulent.”
Yet this bombshell received relatively little mainstream-media play, with the claims being portrayed as a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory. The problem with this dismissive attitude is that Arpaio’s allegations present only two possibilities: A major American law-enforcement agency is spreading misinformation for the purposes of damaging a sitting president.
Or Obama’s birth certificate really is fraudulent.
Either way it’s a scandal.
Wow, this is gonna be hugh and series!
I love Sheriff Arpaio, but I wish he would get off the dime and give us some proof already, we need it.
BOMBSHELL —there is that word again.
Man...I am really starting to hate that word.
Another one — “BREAKING”.
I hate that one, too.
I hope he has more luck than Jim Garrison.
Same here, I love the guy but Barry is already picking out the curtains for his new digs.
I too doubt the the good Sheriff will succeed. But I have no doubt that he is right about the Birth Certificate.
The evidence of fraud in the birth certificate is OVERWHELMING.
I love Arpio, but considering BenghaziBarrySoebarkah JUST imported THOUSANDS of undocumented democrat voters with TB, lice, leprosy, and an assortment of viruses, NOT to mention we will be supporting them and their spawn for decades, I think it’s PAST TIME for his big announcement.
Go to the foreign press SOON, Arpio, or we will think you’re complicit in the demise of America.
Bombshell...
Breaking...
and
Unexpected...
LOL!
Should we cue Hugh Manatee to this problem?
Be still my beating heart ...
BREAKING
BOMBSHELL
DEVELOPING
And then for TV news there is “HAPPENING NOW”.
All this rot used to be “LIVE” but then that wore off a bit on the idiots so there’s all this new artillery.
But yeah, the one that puts me right to sleep now is, “BOMBSHELL”.
I for one would have never suspected the president of the US, a man with the utmost of integrity, could possibly be involved in a fraud of any kind
Maybe he wants absolutely irrefutable proof, rather than a few scattered things that the admin could shoot down easily.
Leprosy? Are you serious?
Ok, ok ... I can buy that, but to tease us over and over with “almost”, tends to make skeptics out of the best believer. Give us something other than a tease.
How can he find out who forged the BC?
Will he be checking everyone’s computer?
“If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.” -Luke 16:31.
“Irrefutable proof” is in the eye/ear of the beholder. Liars abound.
* She cites leprosy: Suddenly, in the past three years, America has more than 7,000 cases. Illegal aliens brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.
