The problem with this theory is that the document has evidence of never actually being a physical document. Printing the document, and then actually getting it photocopied, would have eliminated all of the various problems within it. Instead, we have a document that can literally be modified piece by piece the way i twas assembled.
The White House never claimed it was only ever a digital copy. It claimed to have the physical document.
The document went from physical to electronic to physical then to electronic.
It started out physical, bound into a book in the Hawaii DoH's records storage room. They took the book down off the shelf, opened it to Obama's page, and pressed it onto the copier glass. Then it went electronic as the copier scanned it and back to physical as the copier printed the copy (actually two copies were made, if memory serves).
Then they stamped and dated the copies with Dr Onaka's official stamp and turned them over to Obama's lawyer, who hand-carried them back to the White House.
At the White House, they scanned one or both of the copies back into electronic form and gave the PDF out to the press.
So, the question is, at what point did the forgery take place, if it took place? And with what purpose?
Remember, the original is still in the book on the shelf at the Hawaii DoH. If the electronic document the White House put out has any substantive discrepancies (facts, not pixels, that is) vs the document in the book, then the Hawaii DoH ought to be blowing the whistle! Unless they are in on it, which would be huge. But in that case no WH forgery would have been needed.
The White House never claimed it was only ever a digital copy. It claimed to have the physical document.
This question has come up before. I think they have both. I think the "physical document" is a print out of that PDF file from the DOH in Hawaii. I would point out that very few people have actually SEEN the physical version of the document, and when it was shown that one time, Obama's attorney guarded it like it was the Crown Jewels of England.
