Jon Klein on Birthers: “It Seems This Story is Dead”
TVNewser has learned CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein sent an email to a handful of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” staffers last night regarding the coverage of the so-called birthers and the validity of Pres. Obama’s birth in the U.S.
In part, Klein writes, “It seems this story is dead- because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.” Klein asked CNN researchers to dig into the question of why Obama couldn’t produce the original birth certificate. The researchers contacted the Hawaii Health Dept. and confirmed that paper documents were discarded in 2001 when the department went paperless. That reportedly includes Pres. Obama’s original birth certificate.
Maybe someone should play Klein the soundbite from the Hawaii Dept. of Health in October of last year.
I don’t believe for one minute he had ANYBODY “digging” into this story.
Legal documents aren’t usually destroyed when a department goes paperless.
They’re scanned, indexed and added to a database.
The records are then sealed and stored in climate-controlled warehouses.
I have find shipping documents for fake dogshit from 20 years ago, because paper documents live forever. The server may crash, but those originals aren’t going nowhere.
The Rose Law Firm records ought to prove that.
