Breitbart: Handwriting Expert Touted by Washington Post Turns on Gloria Allred: Calls for Activist Attorney to Release Yearbook.

Birmingham, ALABAMA — A handwriting expert prominently cited by the Washington Post on the matter of the yearbook presented as evidence by Roy Moore accuser Beverly Young Nelson raised new questions today in a Breitbart News interview about the inscription and signature at the center of national controversy.

Specifically, the expert raised doubts about whether the initials “DA” at the end of Moore’s alleged signature evidenced stylistic differences when compared to the rest of the writing in the yearbook.

The forensic document examiner, Mark Songer, a former FBI agent, also called for Nelson’s attorney, activist Gloria Allred, to release the original yearbook “to all parties for examination. I think it is only fair. It shouldn’t be hidden or anything like that in my opinion.”

Songer revealed that he “didn’t spend a whole lot of time” on his original examination of the publicly available yearbook inscription image, which was presented at a press conference by Allred, before he provided quotes on the matter to the Washington Post. 

He stated that it was only about an hour, or possibly less, from the time he was originally contacted by the Post by email until he gave the newspaper his opinion. That window also included the period of time that he spent looking at the online image.

“It wasn’t an analysis,” Songer stressed.  “It was just my observations of whether or not the writings look like they were prepared by one person or multiple people.”

Songer’s comments were brandished by the Post in an article titled, “We asked a handwriting expert to evaluate claims that Roy Moore’s writing was forged.”

Songer said that he explained to the Post that “in order to conduct a full examination, I would need writings from Mr. Moore. Writings from the accuser. So, it was just a very limited on the surface examination.”

Indeed, the Post conceded in its article that “Songer wasn’t able to offer any assessment of the validity of the inscription, which is precisely the point: There is not enough information at hand for an outside observer to make such an evaluation.”

Still, the crux of the Post’s article was to cite Songer as stating that the yearbook inscription appeared to have been spontaneously prepared by one writer.  Read more

  1. Why the hell would anybody want to turn on Gloria Alleged. That thing naked and no makeup. Now I gotta go to the garage, drill a hole in my my head and dump bleach in.

  2. Wasn’t it already established that DA stood for Debra Adams his assistant? I had read she put her initials on when she would signature stamp Moore’s name on a form. That’s where Allred in the face freaked up when they tried to forge the info to the yearbook. They lifted it off the divorce decree he was a part of years later.

    But now seeing the first time the close up color version that Czar linked too, now its even more blatantly obvious it was all added in after the fact and the guy who signed it was named Ray.

  3. We’re used to habitual dishonesty from the Post so it was no surprise the Post’s ‘expert’ was caught lying as well. The Post would not have used an analyst who said the handwriting was from two different people. That dip shit Songer should have known better than to allow the Post to use his name. Now he’s in the same camp as Allred.

  4. INQUISITION

    You have the right to examine evidence.
    You have the right to face your accuser.

    “I have evidence in this non-see-through black bag that shows the Pope raped 10 girls. But no one can see it touch it, or examine it, but BELIEVE ME, it’s in there!”
