This certification was done by Loretta Fuddy so she would be the one who is responsible for any inaccuracies in the certification and she is the one who would have to take the fall for any false statements regarding the certification.
Unfortunately, Ms Fuddy died in a small plane crash. Due to the occurrence of that freak accident, she is unavailable to comment
And of course, if there is ever any serious scrutiny of the documents and they are found to fabrications, she will be the one blamed for any fabrications and be the one held accountable. Every one else involved in the case will proclaim that they are merely unwitting victims of whatever Fuddy
Since the documents are legally described only as abstracted copies, anyone else implicated in the fabrication of the documents can claim that they were simply adding or subtracting information to produce what is clearly described as an abstracted copy of a document, which is precisely the legal definition of an abstracted document, and normally a legal thing to do.
Is that enough to circumvent any charges of forgery or fraud if it ever goes to court?
Who knows. Ploys like this worked to the Clintons and Hillary is the odds on favorite to be the next President. SO far it has also worked for the Obama's on other issues.
However, if anyone wanted to use smart Harvard lawyers to engineer wiggle room in an attempt to mitigate and shield people putting forth false documents from criminal conviction, this is one of the methods.
Kind of like what the meaning of is, is.
FWIW, Governor Neal Abercrombie has publicly stated that Obama’s birth certificate can not be found in the Hawaii birth records so it will be very difficult to verify that the document has been in any way altered.
In order to establish the act of any illegal alteration of documents, one must have the original to prove the document has been altered, but that original document is not available for comparison.
This will make any prosecution problematic because the defense attorney will blame the State of Hawaii for it's careless storage of documents. The State of Hawaii will point the finger at Loretta Fuddy, and blame her for being sloppy with documents and losing them.
No one else will ever be held accountable for the inexplicable inability to locate the originals in the digital or microfilmed archives
The lawyers will make the case that the inability to produce the original document prevents his client from being able to defend themselves and receive a fair trial.
The attorney will then ask the judge to dismiss the charges for lack of evidence and the sympathetic judge will do so while expressing his frustration and extreme reluctance but claiming he ultimately had no choice.
Everyone who is furious about the misleading of the American people and the fact that no one will ever be exposed or held accountable will be denounced as crazy birthers and told to move on, because the issue has finally been settled once and for all.
Republicans in Congress will throw up their hands and say their hands are tied and there is nothing they can do.
The certification of all vital records in Hawaii is done by Alvin T. Onaka, Ph.D., the Hawaii Registrar of Vital Statistics.
When Loretta Fuddy was Director of Health, she approved the release of copies of the Obama long form.
From the April 27, 2011 press release: “The Hawai’i State Health Department recently complied with a request by President Barack Obama for certified copies of his original Certificate of Live Birth, which is sometimes referred to in the media as a “long form” birth certificate.
“We hope that issuing certified copies of the original Certificate of Live Birth to President Obama will end the numerous inquiries related to his birth in Hawai’i,” Hawai’i Health Director Loretta Fuddy said. “I have seen the original records filed at the Department of Health and attest to the authenticity of the certified copies the department provided to the President that further prove the fact that he was born in Hawai’i.”
On April 22, 2011, President Obama sent a letter to Director Fuddy, requesting two certified copies of his original Certificate of Live Birth. Also on that day, Judith Corley, the President’s personal attorney, made the same request in writing on behalf of the President. (Letters from President Obama and Ms. Corley are attached).
On April 25, 2011, pursuant to President Obama’s request, Director Fuddy personally witnessed the copying of the original Certificate of Live Birth and attested to the authenticity of the two copies. Dr. Alvin Onaka, the State Registrar, certified the copies.”
Before Loretta Fuddy was ever state Health Director, her predecessor in that position, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, M.D. went to the files and verified that the Obama birth certificate was there and that it was accurate. In 2008 and in 2009 Dr. Fukino issued statements that that effect.
Since Loretta Fuddy is now deceased, Dr. Fukino and Dr. Onaka are still alive and available to testify before Congress or in a court of law.
“lawyers will make the case that the inability to produce the original document prevents his client from being able to defend themselves and receive a fair trial.
The attorney will then ask the judge to dismiss the charges for lack of evidence and the sympathetic judge will do so while expressing his frustration and extreme reluctance but claiming he ultimately had no choice.”
According to a Fox News Channel report, Obama’s birth certificate was moved from being stored in the vital records files to being stored in Dr. Onaka’s office safe for safekeeping.
Under Hawaii statutes, the original can be released for inspection via a court order from a judge.
