I have heard conflicting reports about Lingle's supposed sealing of the documents. Some say she did seal it, some say she didn't.
There are good arguments made here as to why it may have been sealed (prevent any possible tampering while awaiting potential litigation). I cannot say for certain what happened or why.
The simple fact is there are many folks who will not accept the fact that he won't release the original, his transcripts or other college records, his health records, or his IL senate records.
The COLB is one of many things BO hasn't supplied. If I applied for a job that required certain documentary proof, you could be darn certain that I wouldn't get hired without it.
Not to play Devil’s advocate... but I find some of this stuff suspicious.. just like the PUMA thing and the LS thing. It might be a trap. If true then full speed ahead... but this may be a diversion
