Yesterday, the NYT published an article by Jodi Kantor and three other reporters that seemed designed to end the controversy over who Trig's mother is :Fusing Politics and Motherhood in a New Way.
The article provides no proof that Sarah Palin is the mother which is amazing in itself. Three New York Times reporters work for days on a story and cannot come up with any substantive evidence to proof that Sarah Palin was the mother. They cannot point out one person who saw her pregnant the night of April 17th and morning of April 18th when she gave birth, they cannot substantiate one doctor's visit during her whole pregnancy and they admit to being unable to even get an interview with the doctor who delivered the baby.
The article does add significant information: 1) Sarah Palin's daughter Bristol was at the hospital the night Trig was born, 2) There was no security detail (police) around when Trig was born, 3) Sarah Palin now claims that she actively concealed her pregnancy from everybody by wearing certain clothes. (This attempt to conceal her state is in itself an act of deception that reveals her character), 4) Palin had not told her daughter Willow that Trig would be born with Down Syndrome.
Not only did she conceal the fact that she was pregnant for months from her own 14 year-old daughter, but she even concealed the fact that he was going to be born with Down Syndrome until the baby was born and she found out herself. Curiously, the article does not say if Bristol knew anything about this. This suggests that the reporters were not allowed to interview Bristol, another curious fact.
The sum, the article does not present any proof that Sarah Palin is the mother of Trig, but gives more hints and suggestion that she may not be.
I hope this story continues to be investigated until some proof one way or the other is brought forth. It has now been 10 tens and nobody has come forth and said that they either saw Sarah Palin pregnant or that they saw Bristol not pregnant during the last few months before Trig's birth. No medical records have been brought forward and no nurses or doctor's testimony to who actually gave birth.
Carefully studying the details of the case, my suspicion is that if Obama wants to be president, all he has to do is get hold of Trig Palin's birth certificate.
