Forensic analysis determines PP videos NOT MANIPULATED.

Perhaps you misunderstood my post. Coalfire didn't receive any hard drives. All they got was a flashdrive. If they copied the videos onto the flashdrive, they could control exactly what information was sent to Coalfire.

You can dig into the metadata on a flash drive. I know in specific copyright cases, it's how the original owner of stolen imagery was obtained.
How deeply you can dig? I don't have the answer to that.

But, I will say that this is Coalfire's area of expertise. So as of right now, with all the facts on the table as we know it........we have to take their word for it. They don't have a dog in the race, and they are hired to be impartial.

Coalfire was paid by this hit group to conduct this study. How do they not have a dog in this race? And supplying a simple flashdrive over actual hard drives seems suspicious to me. If this anti-abortion group was so interested in absolving the accusation that they edited videos, why wouldn't they have given coalfire everything they had? Why intentionally give them a simple flashdrive that may or may not have the information needed to make a truly unbiased decision?

They also handed over footage by order of a judge, IIRC.

Coalfire wants to continue having a business, right? What good does it do them to lie, if it's found out that they manipulated information? IT would destroy any future business for them.
