@LegalAmerican@Chosen DaughterThe question I was responding to is whether Obama could be prosecuted for perpetrating a fraud. The answer from a legal standpoint is no. He has gone to extensive lengths to establish that it is/was his personal and firm belief that he was born in HI. Among the many witnesses he could call is his former WH counsel [whose testimony would carry weight in a court of law]. Against this evidence there are no witnesses that I'm aware of who could make the case that Obama believes he was not born in HI. In such a scenario Obama wins with ease.
Iow, from a legal standpoint, you can't present a case on the basis of, "Well I and X-number of people believe Obama was born in Kenya, therefore Obama must believe it too." You'd be laughed out of court.
Even supposing you could prove Obama wasn't born in HI, that's still not proving he KNEW he wasn't born there. All Obama has to do is swear that the people he trusted--his mother, grandmother, etc.--told him he was born in HI and he believed them. How would you PROVE he was lying?
Bottom line: the only way Obama could be prosecuted for fraud is if it could be proven that he knew he wasn't born in HI. There are really only two ways to succeed in such a case. First, the production of written evidence originating from Obama himself to the effect that he was aware of his non-Hawaiin birth. Second, the production of witnesses who would be willing to swear that Obama told them he is foreign born. Afaik, no such evidence or witnesses exist.
This isn't legalism. It's just the facts.
The best we can do at this point, realistically, is simply to expose the fraud that was perpetrated on the country. Obama doesn't go to jail, but he goes down in history as a person who was foisted upon the American voters via lies and skulduggery. It would further tarnish his sorry legacy as well as vastly reduce the likelihood of such a scam succeeding in the future.
