Former OIP Director Paul Tsukiyama indirectly confirmed to Miss Tickly that there were supplemental affidavits in Obama’s file, because he denied her access to them.

The problem with this is that it is customary for all state governments to take a "we will neither confirm nor deny" approach to such inquires. If they did not, people could figure out the truth by what they deny, so they will simply deny any request for access to any records, including ones that do not exist.

I have a long friendship with a wealthy friend who got married some years ago. Knowing his wife had nothing when he married her, and Knowing he was worth many millions, I asked him if he got a per-nuptial agreement. He said "I cannot tell you."

I said, "You just did."

States do not fall for that sort of game, not because their employees are smart, but because they've been through it before and their lawyers educate them not to fall for such tricks.

What this means is you cannot take a denial of access as proof of something. (Same thing with the denial of access to Obama's "Immigration file." )

That’s not the case in Hawaii under the UIPA.
