Here is the deal where the Hawaii people have to be in hot water...boiling hot water...
Unless they flat out completely lied they probably did give the White House thu...I mean...attorneys actual ‘records’. The email exchange posted on the WH blog may very well be authentic. But since the ‘evidence’ went to the possible criminal instead to a safe 3rd party or the public there is a chance for malfeasance. I believe the legal term is ‘the chain of custody has been broken’. Now the thu....sorry - lawyers from the WH can swap out what Hawaii gave them with whatever they want.
It appears they did - a crappy forgery. Real crappy.
But Hawaii probably knew what they were going to do. It was probably discussed. FOIA request anyone! But in any case Abercrombie, Fuggy, Schatz and Okubo probably keep copies of the what they really did give the WH. Its called insurance. And they probably all have letters with their lawyers that they probably meet with regularly indicating - “if anything happens to me release this”.
Jess Henig is one of only 2 people who touched the first one. She is now missing. Hopefully the Hawaii people are smart enough to ensure their health is not an issue....
I know you just legally explained this but..
How can he get away with it? Really? He put his name on this BC on National TV.

Anyone know when this happened?
You are right about that. The unnecessarily long chain of custody opens up completely unnecessary questions. Zero should have asked Loretta Fuddy to scan the document at 300 dpi and post it on the Hawaii Department of Health website for all to see. That would have been way cheaper than flying his personal lawyer out to Honolulu to pick up the paper and hand-carry it back to the White House.
On the other hand, posting a layered PDF as the White House did will satisfy most people and shut down Trump while shoving the issue back onto the back burner where it will continue to keep the birthers all wee-wee'd up and making asses of themselves. You have think like a Chicago community organizer.
the chain of custody”
Good point.

Indeed, you have to wonder, why so crappy. Surely they could have created a better fake. What are they up to? Is it possible they are really this incompetent? Somehow I doubt that. It will be interesting to see what Trump does. If he does not challenge txe obvious fake, I will be convinced that he was in on Obama’s scam all along. We shall see.
