I read this at another site and don’t know whether it’s true or not: Snopes had the Polarik fake and then it was replaced at some point. It was on a Citizen Wells thread quoting from WTPOTUS, IIRC, from a commenter named Miri.
Miri may have been just taking Polarik’s word on that. I’ll have to try to find the thread to see whether she herself saw the change at Snopes.
That may be the case. But the image the WH posted does match the image that Snopes currently post at their web site.
But is not strange we are talking about the Executive Branch of the Federal Government resorting to using a rumor debunking website as its actual source for a supposed critical document that they are supposed to have in their possession?
The fake COLB must have been destroyed after the images and photos were taken 2008 - possibly to create fake documentation for passport records. That is almost the only explanation.
