Unfortunately for Sherriff Arpaio, his Posse investigation wasn't thorough enough.

A lot has been made of the layers in the PDF. If it was an OCR generated PDF, a scan WOULD have layers. An OCR-generated scan produces layers because it pulls text, allowing documents to be searchable. A lot of businesses and government agencies scan older documents into an OCR program to generate PDFs.

I'm sure that folks who have followed this closely will have far more detail to focus on. I was really hoping for something that would put to end the question about the CT SS#.

If he's hanging his conclusion on the fact that the PDF has multiple layers, that won't help. There is a very easy, and not nefarious, reason why.

The Posse DID address this very point; multiple OCR generated PDF's generated an average of THIRTY layers, while "birth certificate" has just 9 layers, and ALL the certification marks and signatures appear in the SAME layer, not different layers.

Further, the voids in letters imperfectly typed should show green coloring, the coloring of the paper, yes? But no such dot shows green --they all show WHITE.

The document maker cooked up the text, and only then did he/she put the greenish background in AFTERWARDS.

I would classify you as a troll, and an unfunny one at that. Layers can be meaningless, and EVERYONE knows that. But NO ONE can watch a deconstruction Obama’s BC by experts and conclude that his PDF has normal layering. It is on its face an obvious and ham-handed fraud. The five minutes it took you to show your ignorance would have been all of the time needed to discover this.
