“Never seen again”
__
True enough. And what would you expect? It’s an original official document, and it was handed around to the White House press corps so that they could see it for themselves. Official documents aren’t usually made available for hands-on examination by the general public.
Now, the sensible thing to do would have been to photocopy it and give a copy to each reporter there, as well as to scan it and post an image online.
Oh, wait...
“Official documents aren’t usually made available for hands-on examination by the general public.”
They are to a court or to state officials.
Instead they’ve been made to play twenty questions based on an internet picture.
When a reporter at the gaggle asked if the BC would be available for them to look at everybody laughed. Even Obama was not allowed to hold the BC. Why have Guthrie and Applewhite not told us the stories of when, where, and under what circumstances their photos were taken?
And most of all, why - when asked point-blank by Ken Bennett in a legal request - did Onaka refuse to verify that the White House long-form image is a “true and accurate representation of the original record on file”, the standard language used to verify the authenticity of a legal document? He was basically asked under oath and he would NOT verify the genuineness of the document even though required to do so if he legally could. We have our legal answer already.
