Good list of ‘issues’ with the photos. Here are some others. birth_certificate_1.jpg was taken during the day, birth_certificate_3.jpg was taken at night. Yet before the EXIF data was scrubbed it showed the photos were taken over a 7 minute period. It went from light (1) to real dark (3) outside in 7 minutes if that is the case. So even the original set of EXIF data was likely manipulated.
One thing for sure - some of the photos were taken in the Obama Chicago Headquarters.
It is too bad that Jess Henig and Joe Miller (now working at the COB) will not grant interviews or discuss their ‘session’ with this most famous (or infamous) document.
And what, pray tell, makes you draw the conclusion that birth_certificate_3.jpg was taken at night?
I can’t speak for the issue of whether it was day or night when the photos were taken. We do know the date in the EXIF data was about five months earlier than factlack dot org claimed to have taken the photos. The pictures were very careful not to show the entire back of the document, preventing anyone from being able to tell if signature block was actually on the same document as photographed from the front. The photo with the shadow of the arm through it is not only sloppy and unprofessional, but it doesn’t show any signs of the raised seal, while the other photos that contain the seal have a very artificial look about them. And, thanks to jpeg snoop software, the settings in the images don’t match the camera’s known compression settings, pointing to the possibility the images were manipulated after they were taken.
It’s too bad they’ve not been taken away in handcuffs and deposed, given that the HDOH has indirectly confirmed in 2 different ways that Factcheck is a forgery.
This whole mess could never have happened if we had an intact government, media, and law enforcement system. The people who allowed this fraud are just as bad as the people who actually committed it, because they have betrayed the trust of the people and of the Constitution.
