Is it a federal crime to forge military documents or impersonate military personnel?

This question is very important. How can we get a federal criminal probe started regarding Dan Rather's forged documents?

By getting a probe started, CBS would be compelled to reveal their source for these fraudulent documents. We can determine if the DNC is directly involved or if Danny Boy is a willing participant.

I have forwarded a similar email to Judicial Watch.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forums.

Moving your question to the off-topic chat forum - Geedunk & Scuttlebutt.

You might want to check out the many threads in that forum regarding these forgeries - you've got a lot of company. Smile

I have been wondering who would be an "unimpeachable source", as claimed by Dan Rather, that he would put such blind trust and lay his career on the line. I couldn't help but think of Carville, Begala, Gore and Terry McAuliffe. Would Rather take their word that the documents are genuine and protect them? I like your idea though. Something like that is probably what it will take to shake out the truth.

Yes. Here is the law:
