How do you know that Donofrio thinks that Obama really has a vault BC showing he was indeed born in HI? He actually thinks that to be so?
Leo is not sure but he said he fashioned his case so that he did not need that to prove O is ineligble. The BC is part of his case but Leo does not rely on it at all.
Leo told other attorneys follow his path because if O pulls out a real BC then their cases are sunk. Leo set up layers of claims to strengthen his case like a smart attorney would do.
Leo said roughly that he was assuming O had a real BC but he said it does not matter because he was born a British citizen. In fact, Leo various claims could have 3 reasons why O is not eligble and maybe more.
Leo's rationale is that Obama IS a lawyer. A lawyer will generally have the paperwork to back up his side and NOT "bluff" on something as important as this.
There may be something damning in the COLB, but Leo said on Lan's radio show that this whole COLB thing is PROBABLY just a distraction - a rope-a-dope to keep us focused off the real issue.
Remember, Leo is looking at this through the eyes of the Framer's view of "Natural Born Citizen" -- with the office of unique CONSTITUTIONAL qualification requirements of POTUS. That little Senate Resolution in April/May proves the UNCERTANTY of this issue for McCain (but was intended by the Dems to help Obama, too):
S.RES.511: A resolution recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.

Furthermore, after reviewing the events of the last year, Leo thinks McCain and the GOP never brought the issue of Obama's dual citizenship or divided loyalties because THEY REALIZED in a CONSTITUTIONAL-context McCain may not be considered a Natural Born Citizen himself.
Again, Leo's view is that in a CONSTITUTIONAL-context (NOT via statutes governing his birth to US citizens), McCain cannot HOLD the office either, not being born on US soil. CERTAINLY, Obama can't with DIVIDED loyalties of a DUAL citizenship.
