"Minor point. We know they were married, because we have documentation of a divorce."

The fact about the marriage having occurred in Maui came from that Time Magazine post. If the certificate is not filed, you might believe it didn't happen there.

Note which you don't recite but I assume you noticed, the fact (Maui) is recited as having come from the Complaint for the divorce. She is sitting there in the law office and the lawyer says well we have to plead the fact on the marriage and she thinks well, I can't say Honolulu cause I know it wasn't there; Maui is the wild west, maybe nobody will know.

I guess the reason for looking for the divorce file was to find out where he plead they were married so if we are willing to take Time's word for it, we can abandon that--too much to hope for that she would have said Mombasa. - David

At that point, Ann was three months pregnant with Barack Obama II. Friends did not learn of the wedding until afterward. “Nobody was invited,” says Abercrombie. - WOSG

And who is Abercrombie that we should uncritically accept anything he says?

Abercrombie is described by Hawaii Reporter editor Malia Zimmerman as "D-Hezbollah" for his weakness on terror and anti-Israel record in Congress. Today he represents Honolulu in the US Congress and is a member of the Socialist-founded Congressional Progressive Caucus.
