Look at his continued defense - that's not a sign of continuing good-faith belief in the provenance of the docs, but a continuing willingness to push his ideology to the exclusion of all other considerations.
I want his balls, not for negligence, but for an intentional act.

He thinks the story is larger than those two documents -- after all, they got GOP-leaning witnesses to say that the contents of the forged documents matched what they knew -- but and you and your conservative pals are doing your utmost to change the focus from the larger story, which makes the President look bad, to the narrow question of the provenance of the two documents. There's an element of truth to each position.
