How did the CIA get DNA from Obamas grandparents?
While Shrimpton claims to have knowledge as to how the CIA obtained Barrys DNA he appears to be speculating off the top of his head about which family members on the Dunham side failed to match Barry. Claimed half-Sister Maya or his grandfathers brother would be possibilities.
IF- they did, then...
Surreptitiously, as spooks are wont to do. Hair could be collected from a barber or hairdresser. A coroner or funeral director could easily obtain dna. Hair off of a cars headrest, a tub or shower drain, or in a brush or comb, or pillow would suffice. A wash cloth, Clothes, Clothes closet floor. Carpeting. Dryer lint. Washing machine drum. Washing machine drain line. Headliner of a car. Floorboard of a car. A toothbrush. An unwashed glass or silverware might offer enough dna. A pulled tooth. A blood specimen from a past doctors office visit (archived lab slides/records).
A relative known only to the Agency. The right relative to sample- again knowing who he is and where his relatives are living (alive) makes the task simpler. We dont know. They do. Theres a cat and mouse game right there for ya
Grandparents DNA is not relative unless it is known as a possitive match to SADO’s DNA. Adoptions were sealed back then
