Excerpt:
"Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County today defended the work of his volunteer Cold Case Posse from charges by reporters at a news conference that he was accusing Barack Obama of forgery and that his investigation overlooked the “work” of the 50 states where Obama already was investigated.
“I’m not accusing him of lying or a crime,” Arpaio said, “We have documented evidence of violations of the law. We’re investigating those crimes.”
The news conference presented the preliminary findings of the Cold Case Posse’s work into Obama’s eligibility to be president. The team believes there is probable cause that the document released by the White House last year as Obama’s birth certificate is a computer-generated forgery.
Arpaio confirmed the investigation will continue, but he could not say exactly where it will lead. He suggested a congressional investigation would be appropriate.
The investigative team has asked Arpaio to elevate the investigation to a criminal probe that will make available the resources of his Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
The posse says it has identified at least one person of interest in the alleged forgery of Obama’s birth certificate.
In fact, chief investigator Mike Zullo reported, “We have identified the computer manufacture, [and] where that document resided 20 minutes before it was uploaded onto the White House website.”
The issue of Obama’s birth certificate centers on his eligibility to be president, since the Constitution requires that a president be a “natural-born citizen.”
The term is not defined in the Constitution, but at the time the document was written, many experts believe it referred to the offspring of two citizens of the country. Some critics say the place of birth is irrelevant, since Obama has written that Barack Obama Sr., his father, never was a U.S. citizen.
The posse report included a number of videos explaining the evidence and the conclusion that members believe forgers committed two crimes. First, they say it appears the White House fraudulently created a forgery that it characterized as an officially produced governmental birth record. Second, the White House fraudulently presented to the residents of Maricopa County and to the American public at large a forgery represented as “proof positive” of President Obama’s authentic 1961 Hawaii long-form birth certificate.
The posse also said evidence suggests the Hawaii Department of Health has engaged in a systematic effort to hide from public inspection any original 1961 birth records it may have in its possession.
Arpaio said he went into the investigation, at the request of 250 of his constituents, hoping to provide proof for Obama’s eligibility. Zullo said the issue was not even on his radar when he was called in to the sheriff’s office to begin the work.
But the law enforcement officers explained that they had had an allegation of a possible crime, and now they have evidence to back it up."
