(Video) Sheriff Joe Arpaio Releases Findings from Hawaiian Investigation; Concludes Obama's BC is 'Undoubtedly Fraudulent'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

I've not been terribly interested in the Obama birth certificate issue up to now, however, my interest has now been piqued a bit. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced at a press conference earlier yesterday that his investigation into the validity of Barack Obama's birth certificate had come to the conclusion that the document presented to the American public in April 2011 is 'undoubtedly fraudulent.' Hawaii officials would not confirm to investigators whether or not the birth certificate released by the White House was an exact copy of the one they have on file.

From KTAR:

According to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Posse Lead Investigator Mike Zullo, the findings were partially based on an interview with a person whose signature appears on Obama’s birth certificate. That person, Verna K. Lee, 95, said she was a local registrar at the time of Obama’s birth.

A press release from MCSO said the rest of the case was based around several factors.

The first factor is a coding discrepancy on Obama’s birth certificate when compared to other Hawaiian documents.

Information given by Lee, including the in-question vital codes and their meanings, contrasted the president’s claims.

Investigators were not permitted to compare the White House’s version of Obama’s birth certificate to that held by Hawaii. Officials refused to allow MCSO investigators to make the comparison and also would not confirm if a PDF of the birth certificate, released by the White House, was an exact copy of the document released to Obama’s attorneys.

In addition to the birth certificate investigation, MCSO also alleged that, under a loophole in Hawaiian law, a person can register a foreign-born child and receive an official Hawaiian birth certificate, thus allowing that child to skip the naturalization process.

WND reports:

Arpaio told WND he intends to move the investigation and the new information to a higher authority within the federal government because of what he calls an imminent threat to national security and U.S. immigration laws. The threat is posed by a flaw in Hawaii’s law discovered by his investigators that allows a foreigner to obtain a Hawaii birth certificate.

“Although I am having a difficult time deciding who to forward this information to given the fact that the obvious choices report directly to the president, I cannot stand by and hold on to information that threatens to weaken national security,” Arpaio said.

Arpaio said he intends on keeping a case file open if more information surfaces or if federal authorities decide to ignore the case.

Zullo explained that along with new information discovered regarding the birth certificate since the posse’s March 1 press conference, his team has discovered Hawaii provides easy access to a birth certificate, even if the child wasn’t born in the state.

Under Hawaii Revised Statute 338-17.8, a person only has to be an established resident of Hawaii, not necessarily a U.S. citizen, and pay taxes there for one year to be able to register an out-of-state or foreign-born person with an official Hawaii birth certificate.

Interesting? It should be to every American. Does the story prove the president's BC is a forgery? Perhaps not, but it does raise more questions. Is anything going to come of this? We all know the answer before we even ask it ... more likely than not, only when pigs fly.
