    If I am not mistaken, I suggested that you ask Trump directly being that he had those private investigators on the case. Didn't you ever wonder what happened to those guys and the unbelievable things he said they were finding? I did.

    Show you what? If you say the moon is made of cheese, I am the one that needs to prove that it is false? I remember those asinine claims when they were made and they were never proven to be true nor could anyone prove that the document was fake. The fact you are here years later claiming that they are unequivocally true shows how pathetic the birther movement continues to be.

    This is exactly the sort of thing that led to Nixon's resignation.

    No it isn't, not even close. But do explain the premise of your statement and then we can discuss the Obama administration use of the IRS to go after political opponents and how you stood against that. And how the Clinton administration obtained raw FBI files of political opponents and how you stood up in outrage.

    And you think that sub-pixel data relative to transparent layers means what? I'd find it astonishing if you knew what sub pixels even are. And where are you getting your analyses from?

    The sheer force of your deflections are so laughable Bluesguy. Unable to do anything other than point to "others" who did different things? How sad.

    Go back and read more slowly, he was challenged asked DIRECTLY about the premise of HIS statement and then a test of how that premise is applied.

    You challenged him directly about the premise, and then you stated that after he explained the premise you would go on to talk about a completely different character's happenings.

    Prebus only asked them to put out the truth. AND it was the FBI who approached Prebus to say that the recent NYT claims were BS. Prebus simply asked if they could release information correcting the false information already in the media.

    And then he went out of his way to find GOP senators to also disparage the story, and even made phone calls to set up those senators with reporters. Can you imagine if Obama tried to kill the birther story in a similar way?

    Since according to the FBI the story was BS, I don't have a problem with that

    Did he? Or did he ask them to put out a statement countering a the press in order to make the president look like less of a complete (*)(*)(*)(*) up?

    I appreciate the propaganda machinate in the White House wants law enforcement to work to bolster the image of a man who is failing miserably at being president, I am a bit shocked that folks defend the administration actions in this matter.

    It is not the job of the FBI to make the president look appealing or competent.

    When layers are generated via OCR the space behind each layer that contains data will itself contain no data, aka a transparency.

    However when the layers were exposed on the first document uploaded by the White House it was found that the space behind layers holding data did in fact contain pixel and sub-pixel data themselves in absolute defiance of the way OCR scanning works.

    The lower layer pixel data had color values of 255,255,255, when it should have had no data at all, and the sub-pixel data contained a drange.

    What this says is that this layer was edited.

    OCR would produced a transparency in the pixel and null in the sub-pixel for the lower layer.

    This was concluded by Mara Zebest, contributor to hundreds of photo editing articles and author of several adobe technical manuals, and supported by computer experts around the world.

    Nope

    Sorry, but the only "propaganda machinate" would be those who put out the story that the FBI identifies as bull(*)(*)(*)(*)

    How would Senators have any information on it? But then Democrats tried for months to kill it but it seems Obama was more interested in milking it IMO.

    Well Nixon was never even indicted let alone charged. And since then the Democrats have made it clear that perjury and obstruction of justice does not disqualify a person from being the President.

    - - - Updated - - -

    In order to get the truth out? And he didn't ask them to do it he ask if they were allowed to counter false reporting about an investigation. When the FBI looked into it they so no we can't even comment in that fashion in on ongoing investigation even when we know the press is reporting falsehoods.

    So what is your complaint exactly?

    Is that claim supported by evidence or your interpretation of the news article and if its an interpretation please explain how you arrived there

    You should read your own signature regarding 'fake news'. Perhaps it will enlighten you
