July 17, 2012 Sheriff Joe Arpaio Obama Birth Certificate News Conference

So, alright, what is it we are doing here exactly? What did we "prove"? Examining a scan of a document taken at low resolution from the internet, and determining “at the very least, I can tell you this, I cannot in good faith report to you that these documents are authentic”? Pretty weak language there. I was hoping for more of a slam dunk than "I cannot in good faith report to you" which is not the same thing as saying "I CAN tell you it is a fake" or "it IS a fake." There is a big difference there. Words mean something. That's not a fact, that's him saying he cannot report one way or the other, which is not the same thing as saying it's a fake. I'm surprised more people haven't noticed this linguistic trick.

Good job. Sheriff Joe has proved that the scan of the birth certificate does not look 100% the same as the birth certificate that was scanned. Okay. Congratulations to him. Spin it all you want, that's not the same thing as proving it's a fake. He has never seen the actual document, and he cannot report in good faith that it is authentic. That is what he said.
