Your quetion is good. Why not just scan the document and post the scanned document, unless you wanted it to be researched.
Something is wrong with this.I do not beleive an original exists, but I do beleive a document could be created and aged that would pass as an original.
What will happen to Joe Arpaios if a real copy that could not be proven to be a fake is produced?
Why did it take so long to post this copy?
Were they aging a fake that could pass as an original?
Will they now produce a fake that has been aged that looks just like this copy that can not be proven to be a fake?
If that happens, what is the credibility damage to the cold case posse?
Kill two birds with one stone?
This is not a game of chess with a first grader.
Since we're all just speculating here, let me join by asking, "Who would be both capable & willing to produce a forged 'original' that would pass muster?" These clowns can't even get a passable scanned file to pass the smell-test.
Anybody capable of doing such a forgery would have to be willing to keep his mouth shut and risk that the president would sick the long arm of the goverment at him once the deed was done. This is "Day of the Jackal" stuff.
