Texas Rangers: I like the sound of that.

At least subpoena ALL of Burkett's phone records for this year. Not only would that prove/disprove the Looooocy story, but it would likely show some very interesting contacts with a certain Mr. Lockhart and maybe a Mr. Cleland.

Rather has been playing God with so many peoples lives for so many years, he's forgotten that he holds a public trust.
How many times over the years do you suppose that someone didn't call him back or didn't display the proper level of fear or respect and Dan has turned to an assistant and given instructions to show them no mercy when preparing a script or editing an interview for air?
I bet it's happened a lot.

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.

And RaTHer is sitting in it with him.

And whatever is going on with that? That has totally disappeared from the news.

At least have the DoJ float some rumors of investigations.

Honestly...you do NOT want to give the Dems the chance to yell "Fundie Ashcroft Threatens Free Speech..."

Patience is a virtue.

thats what has gotten me with the whole thing....the bottom line is, untill CBS and Dan Rather were forced too, they were going to let the lie stand that the memos were real, that President Bush ignored a direct order from an officer and on and on.....Rather was so arrogant "no there is no investigation NOR should there be"... SOB and hes STILL trying to pass them off as real, or the content as real...what a loser

Phone records might just show that.

An investigation should be done. The process would probably last through the election before the issue was resolved. So critics could not fairly say this is purely political, not that they would not try.

If someone fabricates official documents and tries to damage someone,they should pay. A message needs to be sent that this is over the line in a way that the law will punish.

In Texas, the state in which Burkett concedes the false National Guard memos originated, it is a felony to make or present two or more documents with knowledge of their falsity and with intent that they be taken as a genuine governmental record. Under the U.S. Code, use of an interstate telephone wire, such as the one used to transmit an image of the forged documents from Texas to CBS headquarters, triggers federal jurisdiction.

IIRC, a CBS producer or employee faxed the docs from Texas to CBS New York.

Yes, but the scarf I started when the Clinton Pardons broke is now 22 miles long and starting to fill up the basement...

And SeeBS is the crime network that "keeps on giving." Now they are hot on the trail of "draft memos" from the Bush administration (never mind that this was propsed by DemocRAT Charles Rangle.)

I believe the nonfeasance by the Feds has to do with the proximity of the election. My hope is that there are investigative efforts under way and the results will become public after November 2!

The liberal spin is that there's a poll that states a majority of viewers believe Dan was duped by false documents, let's move on.

I'm in no mood to move on. Don't let this issue drop!

Excellent article, thanks :-)

For those doubting the author about the legal ramifications, this was written by an attorney...

Matt Hayes began practicing immigration law shortly after graduating from Pace University School of Law in 1994, representing new immigrants in civil and criminal matters. He is the author of The New Immigration Law and Practice, to be published in October.

It makes no sense for a CBS employee to have to go to Kinko's to fax documents to their home office. Most likely they have fax machines available to them where they work and/or live. Mr. Burkett would be far less likely to own his own fax machine and is a known regular client at the Kinko's in Abiliene TX.

I read it in one of the MSM articles a week or two ago. I don't have time to search for it right now, though.
