I have called the News-Journal for the source of the below article. I am reprinting it here because the writer states verifiable facts. I thought it interesting to demonstrate that even the News-Journal cannot get its facts to match those of the Court’s File:
Facts deflate conspiracy theory
The News Journal • June 29, 2008
Depending on what blogs you read, Delaware is at the center of a major conspiracy orchestrated to protect presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama by silencing a critic.
But like many rumors about a candidate during a presidential election year, this one just isn’t true.
While we are certain this will do little to deter conspiracy theorists, we thought it would be worthwhile to inject some verifiable fact where we find it.
The rumor suggested that former Democratic presidential candidate and Delaware Sen. Joe Biden — who has been named as a possible vice president running mate for Obama — worked with his son, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, to have Obama critic Larry Sinclair arrested at the conclusion of a press conference Sinclair held in Washington earlier this month.
Sinclair, who has been making charges about Obama involving sex and drugs, allegedly was taken away at the conclusion of his remarks by U.S. marshals on an outstanding warrant from Delaware.
Some — perhaps only those on Sinclair’s Web site — suggested this was concocted to embarrass Sinclair because there had been no record of a Delaware warrant after a detailed background check in January.
Well, yes, but no.
There was no warrant in January because it was issued in February after an October incident at a New Castle hotel involving Sinclair.
According to the Delaware State Police and Delaware Superior Court records, Sinclair allegedly paid for a three-week stay at the Rodeway Inn with $2,400 in money orders. The hotel manager later found they were counterfeit and called police.
In February — long before Obama became the presumptive nominee — a New Castle County grand jury indicted Sinclair for felony theft and a warrant was issued.
According to state prosecutors, Sinclair was released on $8,000 unsecured bond this week and is due back in court in July for an arraignment.
I thought it interesting that the News Journal would claim according to “Delaware Superior Court Records” since the court file states nothing more than the indictment which I posted here on Thursday.

In addition, I never paid for any stay at the Rodeway Inn with any Money Orders for one day much less for Three Weeks.
Also, I was released on $5000 unsecured bond on Monday, June 23, 2008 after appearing before the New Castle County Superior Court.

NOW WHEN ARE SO CALLED RESPECTABLE MEDIA AGENCIES GOING TO STOP PRINTING SUCH BLANTANTLY INACCURATE INFORMATION IN ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT ME AND START PRINTING FACTUAL INFORMATION THAT THEY SAY IS THEIR JOB?
The News Journal must have access to a different Court file than the Clerk of the Court, as they provided me with every thing that was in the court file on Thursday June 26, 2008 and none of it had any such information in it.
Is the News Journal attempting to run damage control for Delaware Attorney General Joe Biden III, for seeking a warrant on an issue that was investigated in October 2007 by Wilmington, DE Police and which I was determined to have committed no criminal act?
I guess I need a “Fight the Smears” crew!! Like I said, you do not live life and then try and hide from it later. I just wish when media outlets report, they at least report factual information.

I guess I am trying to understand how the Court states the summons was mailed when the below summons shows no mailing address for that to have taken place?? Much less to say it was returned! I guess I too am interested in seeing the return envelope from the US Postal Service.

Bump
So many questions without answers but guess in time the answers will be found and the truth revealed. This saga does get curiouser and curiouser.
Delmarva ping!
No, he PRETENDED to pay with fake documents that LOOKED like real money orders. He didn't actually PAY for anything. He does seem to be admitting that he satayed there for free though.
This information is totally consistant with his admitted history of writing bad checks and other fraud
Apparently, he doesn’t have a job. How does he pay for staying in hotels? He doesn’t say that he didn’t stay, just that he didn’t pay.
Maybe you can ask Obama how swanky his hotel room in Gurnee was.
FagGate continues...
There is no evidence that Obama was ever there
Go, Larry, GO!
Cool. Then it will be simple to show he was elsewhere. Just look at his state Senate calendar and records....oh, nevermind. Of course, I’ll take Sinclair’s version of events over a commie who put a forged birth certificate on his website.
You do know that most people now believe the Birth Certificate is real since they found the seal?
Why not come up with evidence FIRST and then make an accusation? You won't seem like such a crackpot then
Oh, I see. “most people” does not include any of the ones that have determined it to be fake. I’m sure “most people” includes you though. ROFL.
It is YOU who has no idea what you are talking about. The, ahem, “seal” was discovered a couple weeks ago. It has been dismissed as irrelevant due to the overwhelming evidence it is a forgery.
DelMarVa PING!!!!!
I have not been following this story at all, however the idea of the Snooze Urinal carrying Water for Beau Biden is not all that farfetched.
I totally missed your ping.....just happened to come across the thread title. Apologies and thanks!!!
From yesterday:
Barak Obama Birth Certificate Mystery Solved?

It’s ok, just as long as the word gets out. :-)
I read that. You don’t even know why it was deemed a forgery. Either does the author of that piece.
“There is no evidence that Obama was ever there”
That is true. And unless there were witnesses (other than Sinclair) and they come forward there will be no evidence.
