Edward Tremlett who worked in Dubai, United Arabic Emirats, was highly paid there, is now heading por-Obama media -thugs attack on me, Ambassador Alan Keyes and LTC Lakin

Once again, Lieutenant-Colonel Terrence Lakin is in the news, and not in a good way.
He and his lawyer, Paul Rolf “Otis” Jensen, were on Anderson Cooper’s 360 a little while ago. By any objective standard they made complete fools of themselves, which is a shame. But what’s interesting to note is how many whoppers Jensen was able to pack into an eight minute interview.
He drops the one about Hawai’i issuing birth certificates to people born outside the USA at 4:55, and when Anderson pointedly informs him that such certificates bear notice that the recipients were not born in Hawai’i, Jensen tries to play the “point to where it says that in the statute” game ignoring that statutes don’t always, if ever, spell out how their paperwork’s to be filled out.
At 7:06 he claims that newspapers don’t get birth notices from the Department of Health, when, in fact, they do.
But the really sad one comes shortly thereafter, at 7:15, when he claims “this could be over tonight” if President Obama releases his birth certificate to their satisfaction.
The truth is that, even if Obama had a long form to release, and did it, Lakin would still be facing a court martial for refusing to deploy. The BC does not give him the ability to travel back in time and stop himself from disobeying orders it doesn’t even prove he was right to do so. The issue is whether he disobeyed a legal order, and, regardless of Obama’s place in the chain of command, “report for deployment” is a legal order.
If that’s what Jensen thinks can happen, then it’s clear that LTC Lakin was handed a very poor choice of lawyer. But it just goes to show you get what you pay for.
So what happens next? LTC Lakin is scheduled to go to before a preliminary hearing on June 11th, according to this bulletin from Safeguard Our Constitution. And if you want a snapshot of just how out to lunch these people are, this is as good as any.
Note how they say “”because the President refuses –even in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary– to prove his eligibility under the Constitution to hold office.”
“Mounting evidence?” Since when? The only evidence that’s been mounting as to the President’s eligibility has been the proof that Birthers are willing to believe anything and anyone, as long as it reinforces their view that something hinky is going on. It’s a throwaway thought-stopper that could have come straight from World Net Daily, and, for all we know, it probably did.
(I was also amused to hear that “Assisting Jensen in his defense of Lakin is a very experienced senior member of the Army’s Judge Advocate General’s corps.” I thought that it would be the other way around, given my understanding of how Court Martials are supposed to work, but I could be wrong, there. That said, given that Jensen has been working mostly dog bite cases, I have a hard time imagining he’s going to pull a Tom Cruise on us.)
Luckily for Lakin, he’s got fans. Unfortunately, they tend to be people like Birther Alan Keyes, who’s had Birther Queen Orly Taitz as his attorney for a since-shot-down-in-flames lawsuit. You can read Keyes’ defense of Lakin here, at Safeguard Our Constitution’s website. And then you can be very glad that Keyes has about as much chance of being elected President as I have of being elected the Bat King of Pago-Pago.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: LTC Lakin is doomed. He has thrown in his hat with the wrong crowd for a terrible reason wrapped with a thin layer of noble sentiment, and that is not going to save him when he has to explain himself in court.
Doc Conspiracy of Obama Conspiracy Theories your one-stop shop for all the rumor debunking you can handle may have put it best.

I have a copy of CNN video and it was Anderson Cooper that made a blankedly blank of himself. He never gave anybody a chance to make any remarks except himself while ignoring any and every fact the other people tried to bring up.
He constantly badgered Lakin.
People should also consider the facts on McCain. He was born in Colon Pamama and the
United States Federal District Court file number 1:08-cv-00099 lists 2 certified birth Certificates for McCain showing he was born in Colon Panama and that his parents were residing in Colon Panama at the time. The file also ruled McCain was a native born citizen of Panama and an Automatic Naturalized Citizen of the United States and this catagory is what people refer to as derivative citizenship and is the same class given everyone born in foreign countries military and non military on or off military base outside American jurisdiction..
When you look at both Omama and McCain everyone that voted Republican or Democratic was defrauded.

Orly,
What advice would you give LTC Lakin? You’re a lawyer. Do you think that he can reasonably use Obama’s usurpation as a defense? What if he gets discovery and the court accepts Obama’s COLB as valid? Do you think that will undermine YOUR efforts?
I think this Lakin case has the potential to cut both ways.

Courts are afraid to touch this issue. If they order discovery, there is no way in hell BO will be considered a legitimate president
