By now, the proof is incontrovertible that the "Bush Documents" are fraudulent. In fact, I saw a comparison between Lt Col Killian's real signature and that of the forged document on Fox News. Not even close! It didn't even take a handwriting expert to point out the glaring differences. Ok, so someone typed up false documents and forged a Lt Colonel's signature - all in an attempt to defame the President of the United States. Dan Blather and CBS will not identify their source. This sounds somewhat to me like a crime has been commited. So, my question is, is this something the FBI would investigate? Could Blather & Co. be subpoenaed?
Someone may have to file some type of criminal charges against Dan Blather & CBS to get that ball moving.
One would hope so, but CBS is STILL saying they stand by the "documents". It will be interesting to see what happens as this thing unfolds.
I have been wondering the same thing myself. Isn't it a federal crime to forge government documents? The only reason CBS won't reveal their source is that the docs came directly from the DNC.
Perhaps buckhead can get in contact with Judicial Watch to sue CBS on behalf of voters for FEC violations and foregery of federal documents?
Probably, because like most people, they have better things to do.
But last time I looked forgery and fraud are still crimes.
If the Feds are too gutless, maybe Killian's family will do something in civil court.
Mail fraud ?
I have contacted Judicial Watch asking if they could look into this issue
Isn't there a Freeper who is an attorney willing to file charges?
They have gov headings, and official signatures, and purport to represent official memo of LT COL acting in official capacity.
What is the specific statute that was broken? It maybe immoral and crappy but that doesnt mean that it broke the law or that its severe enough an infraction that anyone will go to jail over it. I wouldnt get my hopes up.
And they've been called private. I don't know. But fraud and forgery are crimes. That much I do know. And this one should be prosecuted just like any other.
I'm fairly certain that forging someone else's signature on any kind of document with the intent to cause injury to another party is at an absolute minimum a state crime. I don't think this would constitute mail fraud as these documents never went through the post office.
Well, if Kilian didn't write those things, someone else forged Killian's sig. That's a crime, isn't it? Maybe more than one?
Doctoring federal documents, felony.
OPs4 God BLess America!
What about wire fraud?
I was listening to Mike Gallagher (replay) early this morning. He had a caller on that said this also breaks McCaine-Feingold.
He said he set up a website but I can't remember the name.
