    Few people were ever aware of this, but the very first birth certificate the White House released was not the scan of an original they claimed it to be.

    It was a crafted document consisting of multiple layers assembled in rudimentary flattening that could be undone with any basic photo editing software.

    A few Leftist "experts" claimed this was a consequence of scanning, offering up what amounted to a wikipedia explanation for optical character recognition.

    Except that lie was destroyed instantly when the existence of sub-pixel data relative to transparent spaces in the layers was pointed out.

    No scanning technology creates sub-pixel data in transparent spaces under layers, its just not possible if you understand the process by which charged couple image sensors capture the information that amounts to what a computer recognizes as a color.

    Shortly after the upload of that image the chatter of forgery began and the White House replaced that document with one that had a single layer.

    Computer science professionals, document management professionals, and professional forgers around the world analyzed the multi-layer release and concluded it was manufactured.

    Explain that for me ...if you don't mind.

    No President of The USA has ever been expected to show their birth certificate, but they have all voluntarily shown their tax returns since the 1970's...all with exception of one of course. But here is something that might help you out with that President Obama birth certificate question you have. The next time you can be at a Trump rally, ask the birther-in-chief when the private investigators that he sent to Hawaii over five years ago are due back because he did say that "they could not believe what they are finding". And when you are finished asking him that, ask him if he was paying them by the hour. :roflol:

    So TRUE!
    Major LOL. :roflol:

    Then again, apparently a lot of gullible voters actually bought into this "birther" conspiracy.

    "No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby"

    What protocols are they violating?

    Telling the truth? Do you even read what you post?

    And of course the FBI has made no comment to ABC, so they just ran with it without actually investigating.

    Do you ever notice how all of these "senior white house officials" who supposedly tell the liberal media these things are never named?

    Ask yourself why the liberal media would protect the anonymity of someone in an administration they openly despise.:roll:

    What specifically has a news agency done to get trump out of office? Has any of them been found to have reported falsely any information?

    This whole Trump/Russia connection does not exist except in the heads of the alt-left.

    Trump won fair and square.

    Get over it!

    Apparently you don't...neitherTFM or I quoted or posted anything from "common dreams", genius. :roll:

    http://www.fakenewschecker.com/fake-news-source/common-dreams

    And no liberal has ever stated how Trump's tax returns actually affects their lives...would you care to give it a shot?

    What exactly are you expecting to see? That he is not as rich as he claims? That he is richer than he claims?

    What specifically are you looking for?

    A couple months isn't nearly enough. We need multiple congressional investigations and US Senate select committees to work for years on this issue...Remember Benghazi...

    Nice rant of pure BS, and why are you asking someone to explain your lies?

    Once again you have fallen victim to proven fake news

    The New York Times story was bogus and possibly a set up. Unless someone listened in on an illegally wiretapped phone call, only a few people were involved in this conversation.

    Donald Trump blasted the FBI for leaks this morning and the White House is defending Reince Preibus over the New York Times report that he asked the FBI to dispute Russia stories.

    The NY Times story was disproven by the FBI.

    John Roberts reported the facts as they are known on Fox News’s Outnumbered this afternoon.

    The way the story came out from the media was: Reince Priebus contacted the FBI to pressure them to kill this story that the FBI had transcripts of contacts between campaign officials and people connected to Russian officials.

    The White House has a different story. They said that at an intelligence meeting at 7:30 in the morning, the Deputy Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, went up to Chief of Staff Reince Preibus and said, can I have five minutes of your time, during which he told Priebus this “whole NY Times story was BS”, and that’s a direct quote.

    Priebus’s reaction was, can we do anything to correct the record. McCabe said, let me take it back to the office and think about it. Priebus called him back a couple hours later and McCabe apparently told him the FBI doesn’t get into commenting on stories so they’re not going to do anything about it.

    David Nunes came out after a briefing and said he didn’t have anything to suggest that the NY Times report was true. James Comey, the FBI Director, said later on in the afternoon, no we can’t comment.

    In the call to Comey, Preibus said, well do you mind if I do, and Comey said, yeah. So Priebus went out on Fox & Friends Friday morning and said he was told by the people at the highest levels of intelligence that this story is overblown, et centera, et cetera.

    The President sounded off this morning on Twitter, ripping the FBI for doing nothing about the leaks.

    The facts are that the FBI reached out to Priebus and the numbers of people involved is very small.

    What was McCabe’s motivation in reaching out to Priebus, and who in this chain leaked it?

    Three people were involved originally.

    The media has the truth but they are still reporting the Priebus reached out to the FBI. That is a lie which is why people see the fake news as “an enemy of the American people”.

    McCabe has been criticized in the past because his wife ran for a seat in the US Congress as a Democrat with a million dollars in funds that came solely from friends of Hillary Clinton. She received extremely large donations from Gov. McAuliffe in particular. However, many, including Jim Comey, have stood by McCabe saying he is a staunchly ethical and non-political deputy.

    Now unless you can prove the FBI is lying when they call the NYT fabrication "total BS" it is you who are mistaken.

    And of course the media you cited.

    You'd think that having wire tapped, and RECORDED the communications in question, that someone, hell anyone, in the FBI could determine at least whether or not a crime had actually been committed. I have a suspicion that these wire taps probably reveal more about NSA illegal surveillance than Russian collusion. Comey may be affording his NSA cohorts an opportunity to eliminate the paper trail, delete the e-mail, and destroy devices and HDD's. As he did for HRC.

    Please provide proof of the Trump/Russia connection.

    And "sources say" or an "anonymous source says" or a "report says" doesn't count.

    Flynn.


    I am a bit amazed that your post so vociferously defenses the "New York liberal" that is Trump.

    Some right wing blog supports my alternative reality so you are wrong


    I am not sure what the odd rant/bizarre conspiracy theory you cited has to do with anything I said.

    The FBI should come out and give us all the information they have and that's what Trump wants. The left doesn't want that because they'd rather keep the rumors going.

    Haha, I guess in the liberal world you can just scream "pure BS" and walk away claiming victory...

    ...but every one of those facts has been documented.

    You can look it all up, lulz.

    Okay. He is no longer president.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Or the FBI should be a quasi independent investigative body that does not comment on ongoing investigations and does not participate in the president's propaganda machine.

    What a piece of work Pres Trump is becoming. Anyone of us would ever do that, we would be in jail for doing such a thing.
