Actually, I thought from the outset that the DNC purposely forged 'private' documents to avoid exactly this sort of criminality. Still, some major crimes herein ... but no word on any criminal investigation.

There is going to be NO criminal investigation. If there was to be, who would initiate it? Not the media, certainly not the democrats. I would never expect the Republicans to take such a stance. It will die on the vine. There are NO bernstein and woodwards in our party.
If there were, they would get NO co-operation.

Both Burkett & Dan Rather are residents of Texas so that is why the Texas Penal Code is applicable, and while I doubt that it can be proved that Rather knowingly was in on the forgery, Burkett has admitted that he "deliberately misled" CBS news producer Mary Mapes.

If Burkett didn't forge the documents, then he knows who did, and the above penal code can be brought on him to give his source, and then upon the source itself.

In my opinion as a former prosecutor, they aren't private documents. On their face they purport to be public documents, signed by an public officer, and relate directly to official matters. The fact that they were allegedly kept in a personal file doesn't deprive them of their official character.

I have written my own analysis of their criminality here.
