"..It defies logic that Burkett would first lie to CBS about the documents' source in an effort to foil verification (as he now suddenly says he did), and then tell CBS that the documents required verification. But if this is in fact the case, Burkett not only frustrated CBS' verification efforts, but necessarily closed his eyes to what otherwise would have been obvious to him: that the documents were fakes. That alone would probably be enough to satisfy a jury that Burkett knew the documents were fake when he presented them to CBS, which would result in a criminal conviction in a Texas court..."

There is no way short of a criminal investigation to find out absolutely who created these documents. The Texas Rangers should be talking to Burkett and anyone else they can connect to this.

I'm still amazed at the Sandy Burglar stunt. Dems have no shame.

We can only hope someone actually lands in jail from this corrupt bunch. I won't hold my breath.

We've been saying this for some time, but it's significant that a major cable news organization is now saying it.

I wonder what the statute of limitations is on forgery? This won't be over any time soon. Maybe someone had better start thinking about doing a little plea bargaining.

"the creation of the memos might actually constitute a crime...."

It is a hate crime.

Until Lucy Ramirez is found, Bill Burkett is driving around in that brand new car at 4:00 a.m., waiting to be pulled over.

He's already been pulled over all right. But will the cops do their jobs?

Sadly, since it involves politics and in the current poisoned atmosphere from the democrats, probably nothing at all will be done.

I'm not convinced legally that a crime has been committed. Some Freeper legal eagles have posted extensively on this subject. See for example http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1226754/posts?page=58#58

I think by the time this is over with, CBS's legal department, (which is no doubt checking Texas and federal law on what specific charges can be made against them), Rather, McAuliffe (who used the 'sugar coat' word the day before Rather's use of it during his broadcast), Burkett, et al, will be shown to have conspired to unseat a president during a time of war.

More than just a simple charge of creating fraudulent documents.

NOW is not the time for Ashcroft or (Micheal) Powell to drop the hammer.

January 2005 will suffice. :o)

yeah...but its West Texas.

There is a history of crooked DA's out that way.

There has to be one left that can make the charges stick!
