If something happened one night and you have no memory of a particular event, how do you prove what did or did not happen or who was or was not "in on the joke" at that event?

Well the Moore accusers aren't birther pushing Hannity show Trump trash. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2017 #63

Yeah, they checked yearbook's metadata file and saw when it was modified and whose name was removed L. Coyote Nov 2017 #10

Actually it's easier to edit metadata FBaggins Nov 2017 #56

Are you saying there is a conspiracy to make it appear there is a conspiracy? L. Coyote Nov 2017 #69

Not even close FBaggins Nov 2017 #72

You certainly have a lot of concern over the Franken story. rzemanfl Nov 2017 #11

Yep. Kingofalldems Nov 2017 #12

I don't know... califootman Nov 2017 #4

"Modified" could mean anything, including cropping. WhiskeyGrinder Nov 2017 #5

The metadata indicates that it was modified on July 1st, 2009 - Coleman concedes! L. Coyote Nov 2017 #6

Holy shit orangecrush Nov 2017 #42

So Franken is lying? FBaggins Nov 2017 #65

You are misunderstanding the story. L. Coyote Nov 2017 #68

"It's obvious how Leeann would feel violated by that picture" FBaggins Nov 2017 #71

Merely brightening the image would be a modification. VOX Nov 2017 #7

Oh, no doubt there. VOX Nov 2017 #70

Its not photoshopped, Franken has said as much. Agschmid Nov 2017 #9

He gets it loyalsister Nov 2017 #13

Exactly. He admits it was in bad taste. mainer Nov 2017 #14

I don't see why questions are necessary loyalsister Nov 2017 #20

Even if it is a distortion of what actually happened ? OnDoutside Nov 2017 #23

That's only relevant if someone is pursueing prosecution or something loyalsister Nov 2017 #26

That's the kind of scorched earth attitude that cannot differentiate between a paedo and what OnDoutside Nov 2017 #29

Can we all agree anyone can be anything on Twitter? moriah Nov 2017 #24

So is the EXIF data he tweeted all fake? mainer Nov 2017 #30

You can take any image and change the EXIF data Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #33

I don't know, I haven't dug into the photograph myself. moriah Nov 2017 #35

I think he's calling it to call the bluff about Beverly Young Nelson wanting... moriah Nov 2017 #43

True or false (below)? Or is he still throwing nonsense on Twitter? mainer Nov 2017 #38

I haven't examined the data to tell you. moriah Nov 2017 #40

Unless he got the document from the source it means literally nothing Lee-Lee Nov 2017 #32

I think he took it from the accuser's website mainer Nov 2017 #39

ferchrissake, Franken does not deny that the incident happened as shown in the pic. paulkienitz Nov 2017 #53

The metadata also shows the photo was taken at 5:19 pm on 12/21/06, not at night on Christmas Eve. SunSeeker Nov 2017 #58

Not exactly. What it shows (assuming it was not altered) Ms. Toad Nov 2017 #73
