I hear you, and that blanket statement is made by most people here. But, if the forgery has no use, except for political damage, I wonder if the forgery statutes kick in. For example, one of the forged documents is an order to GWB, that due to its date is no longer operative. Even though it is a forged document, it can't be used to accomplish what it says on its face.
Unlike a forged ID, or a forged credential that can be used to gain access, etc., these forgeries have no effect to the benefit of the bearer.
What these documents are is a forgery of history, a creation of a false history. THey aren't being sold, to defraud a person of money. They are being used to political influence.
Guess I'll look up statutes that describe the felony of forged documents. I'm not convinced that these forgeries are a felony.
They do.

The law makes no differentiation as to benefit or non-benefit. It's in place to preserve the integrity of government records.
