Here is Leo D’Onofrio’s comment on whether Obama committed fraud when he signed an NBC eligibility statement in AZ (Leo’s is “Ed.” for editor):

“”Failure to be eligible is not a crime, but it is does give rise to removal of a sitting President.””
Yes, but committing FRAUD is a crime! He frauded the people knowing he was not eligible and the mere fact he spent over a million bucks to keep his records sealed, even before the election, shows his intent to fraud the people over his eligibility.
[ed. It was fraud to swear he was eligible in Arizona, but it was not fraud for him to believe he was eligible and to run. It’s possible that he honestly believes he was eligible, and it’s possible the Supreme Court will back him up. IT was not possible that he could swear he was eligible only that he believed himself to be eligible. So in Arizona, he appears guilty of perjury.
But he is not guilty of intent to defraud the nation in general by running unless he truly believed he was not eligible and I don’t think you can meet that standard unless he was born abroad. I do not believe he was born abroad. And I have not seen any reliable proof to establish that he was.]
Mark Bennett, the Republican Attorney General of Hawaii could easily resolve this issue by convening a Grand Jury to investigate the fraud/forgery allegations.
Bennett has the statuatory power to seek a subpoena for Obama’s vault copy, long form, original birth documents which could end all speculation on whether fraud or forgery was committed.
