If it is not prosecuted, it will definitely be repeated.

I have been wondering about this too. Maybe there IS an investigation.

And where is the criminal investigation by the Texas Attorney General's office?

These memos were FABRICATED not "forged" - their content is fake & phony whereas a forgery is presumably a replication of something real. A good point from Hitchens last night.

Revolutionary woman Mary Mapes may be able to answer that. (One of her motivations for going into, uhm, journalism.) Short answer: because journalists are almost never prosecuted and jailed. Even less often than politicians.

For the same reason Sandy Berger isn't being grilled or arrested

Would not be surprised if there is a quiet investigation going on now.
A lady called and asked Rush about the investigation status of Sandy 'OopsIFilledMyPants' Berger. Rush opined that no further action will be taken until after the election. Annoying, but probably true in both cases.

Any legal action brought forward by the government before the election will be discounted as politically motivated.
The Justice Department was no part in political fights. It would be a circus.

From what I gathered almost any state can start an investigation... any state that aired the CBS piece. However there is a good chance that Texas will start something or already has been doing some legwork in this.

Because it would seem political, make Rather a victim, fighting for the freedom of the press. Hopefully, after the election something will be done.
To: Bugaloogle
its not worth prosecuting. Just let the free market do its magic. Remember this: Rather has an enormous ego. Just knowing he's been discgraced is fitting justice as he wastes away into obscurity. His reporting towards the end of his career is well known to be just reading news gathered and produced by others. He's got to know he's reduced his impact to a mere footnote in history.
In the long run, history will remember Bush as a true gentleman leader with commitment to a vision of expanding freedom and liberty. Dan Rather will be remembered as a very small and shallow personality at best.

Dems would have investigations going of this, the Sandy Berger case, the stuff that went on in the CIA with Plame's husband and the memos in the Senate. They would then use any legal action taken for years to come to present Republicans in a bad light, can we say Nixon or Iran Contra.
It is time the Republicans got serious about the laws of the land and not let the democrats get away with this stuff any longer.
To: Bugaloogle
Rush was asked about Sandy Berger today. Notice how quiet the media has gotten over that investigation?
His guess is that because it's an election year.....and would be too much of a distraction....everybody is laying low for now.
Maybe this is why we're not hearing much about the Feds looking into Memogate?
An investigation could possibly backfire on Bush if people perceive he's "sic" ing the Feds on Kerry. But, I do think after the Election the Feds will launch an investigation. Who knows? Maybe they already are and we're just not hearing about it.
To: Bugaloogle
..because everyone knows they are fake and knows why they were used...no investigation necessary! :-)
