Fukino’s first statement says “...have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record...”
To parse this, Fukino has “seen and verified” _not_ the BC itself, but only that HI DOH “has” the BC “on record.”
Fukino did not say she saw the BC! She only verified that DOH has the "original birth certificate" on record
Then when the ambiguities of her statement were pointed out she comes out with the second statement which says “...have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii...”
To parse this, this time she says she “saw” the vital records “verifying” Obama was born in HI. Did someone open a drawer and point to a folder? It is impossible to tell what records she “saw” or exactly who verified them or by what process were they verified.
She does not say that she, Fukino, verified them only that there were records verifying an HI birth. There could have been a late filing of birth with an affidavit from Grandma or an amended filing string of documents ultimately arriving at “verifying” an HI birth as late as 2007. There could have been an ambiguous initial filing with evidence of a Kenya birth, (like the “Blaine BC”) but which was subsequently “verified” to confirm an HI birth by affidavits in the vital records.
None of Lingle or Fukino's statements can be admitted in court as evidence, although the DOJ shamelessly asked that they be given "judicial notice" IIRC.
In Australia, neither would be good enough to open a bank account or obtain a passport!
As you say, it's weasel-lawyer talk...and when the shiite hits the fan as it eventually must, they will ALL end up under the proverbial obama-bus.
She's also a medical doctor!!!
