But everything that’s on a COLB is. Including the BC#, any stamps indicating “LATE” or “ALTERED”, and any notations of what supporting documentation was provided for amendments or late registrations.
And if you look at what was in that “verification”, it was never claimed that the record was legally valid.
We know that the BC Obama presented was forged. If the content that HI has for him in their official “record on file” is the same as what Obama produced, then why did he have to forge anything?
Could be because the FORM they have the information in is not a long-form BC that looks like this, but is an incomplete BC with affidavits added later to complete the thing. That would explain why they talk about there being a birth certificate on file but when they talk about the contents they always refer to “the record”.
The certifying statement on what Obama produced specifically allows for this - that this is a copy OR ABSTRACT of a record on file.
Remember that Abercrombie talked about something “actually written down” and Fukino talked about something “half typed, half written”. Abercrombie told Mike Evans that he couldn’t find a birth certificate for Obama.
But hey, when you give someone wriggle room, like Bennett did, they're always going to take it.
