Plural? I've only seen several images of what purports to the same document, that is the Certification of Live Birth, issued in June of 2007. Is there more?
Experts have repeated time and again that the documents presented to the country and campaign officials are real and legitimate documents
Which experts? Even the spokesperson for the Hawaii Department of Health has not verified that the image of the supposed 2007 COLB is legitimate, only that it "looks like one of ours". (ANd that's all she could say, because to verify the information would be a violation of the law
and that a “long-form certificate” does not exist.
Really? I think is a badly morphed (or carefully morphed, YMMV) version of "we no longer issue certified copies of the original or "long form" certificate", which was not true until around June of this year, when after WND, many FReepers, and others showed that the Hawaiian Lands Program's website not only said that they really needed the "long form", but told the reader how to obtain one. Then mysteriously, that changed, and they decided they'd take the short form with "supporting documentation" (so they could verify that the parents, grandparents, greats and beyond were native Hawaiians, or at least enough of them were to qaulify the individual for the program.)
So she said everything she legally *could* say, and that's still not enough?
It's also worth noting that the 'experts' for the opposing position, alleging that the online COLB was forged, BOTH of them turned out to be phonies with made-up credentials and no actual document or forensic experience. And both of them promptly disappeared offline shortly after being exposed as phonies, without ever providing any explanation for their charades.
