Interesting but not conclusive. I leave the details on this one to the technical experts. The evidence so far is VERY damning - I guess that the probability is greater than 99% that the documents are fake. BUT, evidence is NOT proof. Without expert analysis of the originals and a clear understanding of their provenance, I don't think we can say "proof." Extraordinarily strong suspicions, yes, but proof no.
