the pattern, but what i m showing you here, this is not the document published by the intercept. this is from the document that somebody sent us through www.senditto rachel.com. and that appeared on the supposed nsa document that somebody sent to us anonymously. you see it here in the intercept document with the dots by the word summary, those same dots, the top part of the pattern appear magic by the word summary in the document we got. it is not all of the dots, just the ones that appear to have slipped through in a fophotocop cut and paste job. this is what it appears to be to us. a cut and paste forthry using the intercept document as a t template. and again here, see that thin line there on the upper left hand corner. you could see what i think is
conversations with officials familiar with documents of this type, we believe that a u.s. citizen s name would never appear in a document like this. even if the typos and the weird spacing and the other odd stuff has snuck through for some reason. an american citizen name would not have snuck through, not at this level of an nsa report. that our document contains an american name spelled out, that says to experienced people who have worked with this stuff that what we got is forged. it s fake. which is interesting if you work on this show. this is news because why is someone shopping a forged document of this kind to news organizations covering the trump-russia affair? last week three journalists resigned from their jobs at cnn after that network retracted a story they had written about the trump administration. cnn says the sourcing of that
like you get a crease from folding something. there s a crease that is visually evident on the document itself that was a clue to the fbi that whoever took this document off of the nsa had printed it, had printed the panel and folded it and carried it out of the nsa office by hand. and then there was another clue and this is where the story gets a little bit crazy. most color printers, maybe even all of them, i don t know, they apparently leave behind when they print, right, when they print out a piece of paper from a commuter, when they present they leave behind a fingerprint on every sheet they leave out. you know in old school detective agencies, they figure out which typewriter typed the ransom note. there s a version of that for computer printers too. and that may have come calling when the intercept showed the
and it tells you which exact printer was used to print out that page. tells you the model number, tells you the serial number and tells you exactly which time and date that printing happened. now it may be that the fbi didn t have to use those little yellow printer dots to track down their suspect. the fbi doesn t mention the printer dots in their charges document in this case. but once the sper septembintercd this document, for people who understand the forensic tracking of documentings, those yellow dots were an obvious thing to worry about. they were there to be read by a trained observer on that document that the intercept published online. okay. now let me show you how this worked for us. this is the nsa document published by the intercept. you see the little dots in that specific pattern in rels to the piece of text that we uncovered
nsa this document they had obtained through a source because they wanted the nsa to validate it, to comment on whether or not this document they had received was real. in that document, which we have access to because they published it online when they published their story. in that document along i dsisid texts and the flow chart and the redactions, alongside all of that obvious stuff was this barely visible fingerprint from the printer it was printed on. the fingerprint is basically a series of light almost invisible yellow printed dots. and unless you re looking for them, you would never notice them just by reading the document. but if you run the page like through an image software and do a magic reversing of the colors and a little brightening so you can see them on your tv, up pops. if you re looking for it, a readable specific grid of these little dots. and that grid of those little dots is basically a fingerprint
