Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has launched a criminal investigation into forged military records allegedly obtained from President Bush's National Guard file that were aired by CBS News two weeks ago, referring a congressional request for the probe to the investigative division of the Texas Rangers."On Wednesday 52 Republican congressman urged the Texas attorney general and the U.S. attorney in Lubbock to investigate who created a bogus document at the heart of the now-discredited CBS News story accusing Bush of shirking his Guard duty," the Fox News Channel's Major Garrett reported. The congressional letter read in part: "We request an immediate investigation and prosecution if warranted. Our interest is in whether any state or federal crimes were committed."
Texas Attorney General Abbott immediately forwarded the congressional request to the investigative division of the Texas Rangers, Garrett said.
They were once known as the Washington Senators. Kerry is a Senator. I smell coverup.
Tis true. If only half the stories surrounding the Rangers, particularly in the early days, are true, these "dudes" ain't somebody you'd want to mess with.

Thanks for the ping!
Give 'em hell!
Earle is the Travis County (Austin) DA. The Travis County DA gets part of his funding from the State of Texas and is charged investigating and prosecuting certain public corruption cases. As a private citizen dealing with an out of state corporation Burkett doesn't come under Earle's purview.
I shoot with some of those guys at the range in Garland, I wouldnt want them on my ass even for a trafic warrant.
Thank you! :^D
bump!
You bet. Yes, it is ! Someone should go to jail over this !
Anyway - Go Rangers Go!!
.
Thanks, folks. bump !! :^D
I say throw their butts in Jail!!
Then who would present and what grand jury would hear the evidence and issue indictments and then who would be the prosecution?
Unfortunatly the Texas Rangers will be eliminated from the playoffs, leaving the probe unresolved during the presidential election. A spokesman for the Rangers however has stated that "the Rathergate memos will be a top priority as soon as the team begins spring training next year".
Could also investigate Texas newspaper collusion: how else would you explain the fact that it took the Washington Post to actually go out and investigate this?
OH, yeah - incompetence!
Thanx for the reminder. I keep forgetting to get more & all of my neighbors have gotten to the point of pulling down their blinds whenever they see me head in their direction, cup in hand. ;o)
