I don't doubt for a moment that the scumbucket finagled something.

Here's my guess .. he did throw his medals on the capital steps and then asked to have them replaced and that is why Lehman's name is on the document

Wasn't it his Senate Office were those medals showed up again?

No.

He (supposedly) threw his MEDALS over the fence - though now we are told it was "somebody else" loaned him "their medals" to throw.

These are the official, signed paperwork copies written to officially "award" the medal.

I don't know the answer but your post bears repeating, it could be where the puzzle pieces fit...

Military Medals can be replaced very easily. When my Father passed away 2 years ago I requested all of his Military records and an explanation of the abbreviations in the "Medals" row on his DD214. I was able to get replacements for all his medals and put together a Medals Plaque for my older brother who cared for our father while Alzheimer's slowly took him away.

I had most of his original Citations, but was missing a few, I was told that they had no copies of the original Citations, just the letters of recommendation. They told me that I could get frame-able new Citations though. I would conclude that the signature on such a Citation must come from a current Commander. This might explain the John Lehman Signature on Kerry's Citation's
