FactCheck.org is bought and paid for by the Left — Soros and Co. Pay them no mind. They were the ones, as I recall, that said they “saw” the Birth Certificate” and published the picture. It was the short form — NOT the long form, and it was a COPY not an ORIGINAL. I’m not a “Birther” and even I know that! GEEZ!
If you have actual evidence that Soros paid FactCheck, I'd like to see it. If not, then fact-checking your claim is complete.
The birth certificate that FactCheck examined and photographed was an original in the sense of being the paper document that the Hawaii Department of Health certified by stamping the attestation of the record keeper and applying of the seal of the office. The seal is embossed, so it distinguishes the certified document from a copy.
