The big issue isn't that the metadata can be faked (though that's relevant). It's that the time-stamp on both docs are *identical*.

@maddow choose 2 run a story like this before checking w@theintercept , unfortunate, bc a story about forgery itself isn't accurate -
It reeks of trying to salvage the original fake story by stretching the meta-story way beyond the evidence. It's not a service, it's hackery

Jumping on board an idea bc it suits your narrative is something that I, a lowly twitbot, try to catch snd avoi, shouldn't be Maddow doin it

Forgive me, but what does the creation date reveal that the contents themselves don't about the document's genuineness?
