Let's say the forgers were smart enough to get, say, a 1968 typewriter exactly like one in Killian's office, and copied his signature on, using the right size paper.

They would still be forgeries. Where did they come from? Copies are inherently unreliable. His family and associates say these are fakes. Anything that passed through the DNC obviously is suspect.

Proving it is "possible" Killian typed originals that became these copies still would not prove that he did.

The *best* proof against this is that website which had superimposed text created in MS Word over the text pulled from one of those CBS .pdf files ... the *match* is just *too* close ...

"Proving it is "possible" Killian typed originals that became these copies still would not prove that he did. "

Right, but proving he didn't is easier, especially if the type and paper don't match. As cBS' own signature analysis guy says on his website, you can use a copy to prove the docs are forgeries, but you can't use a copy to prove the docs are genuine.

So you must have the originals to prove the docs are real.
