The writer seems to start from a premise that an investigation by a county official would have some inherent legitimacy, and that WND is subverting this.
Whereas from our point of view we see it as all of a piece, with the only question being how Arpaio can retain for his 'investigation' the bare minimum of
apparent lawful legitimacy, without dismaying and betraying the birther faithful, who are on a hair-trigger of anticipation. They will enthuse ONLY over a report that:
- Does not debunk ANY of birfistan's theories
- Provides answers to (some of) Corsi/Farah's "questions", but only answers that further disparage the President
- Provides some new info, however minor; but only if it disparages the President
- Does not encourage or praise the President in any way, or explicitly hold out any hope of Obama being "exonerated." Arpaio was on thin ice saying he was doing this in the hope of clearing the President, as a favor to him.
That's the bare minimum bottom line. If it fails at #3, birthers bail. If it debunks, or even suggests leaning toward a debunking, of ANY birther theory... birthers bail.
On the other hand, a lot of the above can be covered by a smokescreen of innuendo, further revelations to be announced at a later date, suggestions that major dealings are in play behind the scenes, etc., etc. We've seen all the techniques in the NESARA threads. I bet Arpaio makes at least one reference to having had conferences with administration officials.
In the end... more of the same. As narrowly cast as possible so as to only reach the ears of the faithful and not kick up a MSM storm; no new news; a hint of new news; it's all 'very interesting' and he's 'tremendously grateful to have had the opportunity to respond to patriots in this critical matter' and 'please feel free to come forward with any other ideas you may have.'
