Looks like the Jerk, Blumenthal to me, then the PUMAs, then Donald.

Appears Blumenthal and the PUMAs had no credibility. The story had no legs until Donald Trump.

That is for sure. That birther crapola is and should be a nonissue in this election, but clearly the Hillaryminions are trying to revive it and keep it going as yet another weapon against Trump. The media thought they had a live one they could use to trap Trump into another "when did you stop beating your wife" scenario, and they could use it as a distraction against the successes of Trump's campaign and of course from their Hillary's uh....... issues", but it backfired on them. Trump and his campaign handled this whole thing superbly, ended up making the media look like the unprofessional jack@zzes they are. And no amount of twisting or spinning will change that.

He got Obama to cough up a fake and plaster it all over the internet.


Admitting to producing a fake document, was not going to bring further speculation on any other documents produced?

Attorney for the plaintiff, Mario Apuzzo asserts that the birth certificate is the proof of Obama’s citizenship that allows him to be on the ballot in New Jersey.


Really? Why go there in the first place if you have to cover your tracks?? Doesn't pass the smell test.

evidence to support this?

so far i've just seen james archer's claim that blumenthal asked him to investigate and/or said obama was born in kenya. i'm curious to know from archer when in 2008 this happened and also get blumenthal's take on it.

Blumenthal also appeared in some of Hillary's email scandals as he offered Hillary advice, had classified info in emails with Hillary, he also blamed a YouTube video for the Benghazi attack to Hillary in an email, etc...


2 Clinton supporters in




Well, with all that effort to deceive the voters, I can see why they would be such good friends.

Umm it was Trump who sent investigators to Hawaii to find the missing birth certificate. It was Trump who led the birther cause for many years. It was Trump who proclaimed on national TV that he thought Obama's birth certificate was phony.

your link is intentionally misleading or ignorant.

obama's attorney did not admit "In Court Birth Certificate On White House Website Is A Forgery". the case ( pupura/moran v obama ) was directly addressing the issue of obama's father not being a US citizen and therefor, according to apuzzo, not eligible for "natural born citizen". when the issue of the birth certificate came up the defense argued that since neither the defense or the plaintiff is arguing the citizenship of obama's father the birth certificate is irrelevant. the judge agreed.

apuzzo lost the case.
