I don't see how anyone's going to jail over this. In all likelihood, he's adopted a "that's my story and I'm sticking to it" attitude because he knows he can't survive a vote of no-confidence at CBS if he admits they were fake. He's praying that this will somehow backfire on the Republicans and he'll be a hero.
All we need to do is have a district attorney in Texas summon a grand jury for a forgery case, clearly forging a us army document is a crime....He can name Dan Rather as a co-conspirator....if Dan takes the fifth, he's toast...maybe he'll go down alone but I don't think a Texan jury will be very sympathetic.
I believe there’s something about falsifying military records that makes this a federal crime.
If Robin Rather was the forger or at least the conduit between the forged government documents and her daddy, she would go to jail.
