The original lawsuit by Berg in Philly was "allegedly" filed at Hillary's urging. Once she conceded the nomination, she wanted to get Obama disqualified, or at least cast enough suspicion that would convince the DNC to select her at the convention. At the time, there was still a possibility that the super delegates could be swayed to go her way at the last minute, so she tried a Hail Mary pass, using Berg as the quarterback. I could only find one article, which was in The NY Times, where she acknowledged she instigated the law suit. When asked if her close association with Berg had anything to do with her not being selected as Obama's running mate, she said that she asked Berg to look into BO's background because she didn't want the party to be embarrassed if the Republicans brought it out in October so she wanted any doubts to be cleared up by election day. IOW, it had nothing to do with her own political aspirations, it was for the good of the party, yeah, right. I had the article bookmarked, but now it's been 404'd, and although I didn't spend much time looking, I can't find another associating her with the law suit except those trying to tie it to her by mentioning Berg is a strong supporter, which in my opinion is not a smoking gun. In fact, Berg is adamant that Hillary does not endorse the antics of the group PUMA, who are on a crusade to get her back on the ticket, and are on record as being the group responsible for sending Berg on his quest to bring down Obama.
As much as I'd love to see BO tossed out on his butt and have added my own speculations to the rumor mill many times, I agree with others that if there's the slightest bit of evidence to show BO's not a U.S. Citizen, the republicans would know it and would be all over it flies on poop. The only reason I can think that they'd keep a lid on it thus far is to lay it out before the American people so late in the game the Democrats would have no chance to put someone else on the ticket in time to salvage the party.
Now if I put an extra layer on my tin foil hat, I can see why Hillary has remained mum on this ever since the first lawsuit was filed. Here's a possible scenario, however far fetched, where all this can work to Hillary's benefit if she keeps her yap shut. If BO is disqualified at the eleventh hour, and neither John McCain nor the Democratic write in can't muster up 270 delegate votes on November fourth, our democrat heavy Congress chooses the next president. It's a long shot, but it's her only shot.
Yeow, I think I actually scorched the inside of my reynolds wrap beanie thinking about that one.
