Any way to put any people in jail for the CBS fake documents?
Let the FBI arrest Burkett and "extract" the "whole" truth from him.
Short Answer: Yes.
Absolutely. The Justice Department should be all over this like a cheap suit. Where are they?
You know where they are and youknow they won't touch this.
Would probably be difficult to get CBS if they acted in good faith, but certainly the perp who created them and transmitted them is ripe for an indictment.
In addition, there are Federal laws against illegally influencing or attempting to influence an election.
U.S. Code as of: 01/22/02
Section 494. Contractors' bonds, bids, and public records
Whoever falsely makes, alters, forges, or counterfeits any bond,
bid, proposal, contract, guarantee, security, official bond, public
record, affidavit, or other writing for the purpose of defrauding
the United States; or
Whoever utters or publishes as true or possesses with intent to
utter or publish as true, any such false, forged, altered, or
counterfeited writing, knowing the same to be false, forged,
altered, or counterfeited; or
Whoever transmits to, or presents at any office or to any officer
of the United States, any such false, forged, altered, or
counterfeited writing, knowing the same to be false, forged,
altered, or counterfeited -
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten
years, or both.
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 25 - COUNTERFEITING AND FORGERY
He will plead insanity
That's what I thought (not being a lawyer).
So why is this being equilivated (new word?) to the level of Monica's favors?
I smell a subtle deflection going on. As the real crime of Slick42 (the harrassment of Paula Jones and the rape of J. Broaddrick) was morphed into silly s3x with an intern, so the real crime of the Dems/CBS/AbileneForger is being morphed into something lesser. What that is, they are still trying to figure out, I think.
Good footwork.
Let's roll.
LOL, I accidently typed "Let's rool" on my first cut of this reply!
:-)
I think a special prosecuter should be brought in to investigate whether or not the Dims had anything to do with it!
Forging is a crime. Since the use to which the docs was put was not a military purpose the Federal gov't could be outside except for the Interstate Commerce clause that is used to justify so much Federal action.
Not if it comes from the Dems. Nothing will come from this. This "Two-Party Cartel" owned & run by the elites, will pass on it. Any bets? So I being a conservative have to access whether it is worth voting for one single pol in this cartel & corrupted government.
It's a crime when a conservative does it, it's not when a democrat does it. (According to CBS)
For example, Sandy Burger stuffed above-top-secret memos in his pants and walked out of a secure room, possibly in an effort to conceal his failings about OBL.
Nary a prosecutorial peep.
Who, Burkett or Rather? In either case I think the insanity defense would be a winner.
Right you are. Now what is that line about laws, not men, that polliticians love to quote?
