I sure hope a few folks go to jail over this.
Well, sure, if you tell the police it is perfectly fine to lie to people in order to trick them into confessing, then this is just a natural progression of that.
Always subpoena anyone who signs documents.
And yet Ben Crump still walks free after putting a fake Diamond Eugene in court.
The Supreme Court has already ruled that the police can lie to you. Was that a good ruling? I dunno. But I suppose the police think forged documents are just another form of lying.
Anyway, here are two handy steps to remember when being interrogated by the police.
Step 1: Say “I want a lawyer.” Say nothing else.
Step 2: Go back and repeat Step 1.
And here’s a good video on the topic. The narrator (a law professor) explains how you can get in trouble talking to the police even when you’re both innocent and 100% truthful.
Everyone knows is ok for cops to lie trying to get confessions.

Somebody remind me again how the police are your friends.
They protect and service whoever signs their paychecks.
Remember that.
In my day, we would just say: “No s....., Dick Tracy!”
Certainly not a surprise...
The FBI does a lot worse; I suspect...
two days before he leaves office and NOW we hear about this?
...but in at least one instance, a forged document was used in court as evidence.
