Here's a reporter who says she saw and touched the original (with the seal): http://lockerz.com/s/96540937If you blow up her photo you can see the seal. AFAIK the other reporters at the press conference got some sort of xerox of the paper.

Soooo.....the conspiracy theory would be that the White House approved the dummied up pdf file with the layers, including a barely perceptible seal image (it can be seen when blown up) and the Okubo signature stamp with the “TXE” error.

Then HI DOH prints off two hardcopies and applies an HI seal over the faint seal on the pdf to add realism for the reporters and these are given to the Perkins Coie attorney for her charade round-trip from DC to HI and back.

Meanwhile, the forged pdf is already on the White House server ready to go, no raised seal required.
