Texas Att'y Gen'l Launches Rathergate Probe
NewsMax.com ^ | 9/30/04 | Carl Limbacher

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.

I'm thinking RICO, more than wire fraud.

Works for me. As long as she ends up earing white (I assume female prisoners in Texas wear white, like male prisoners in Texas do.)

Nothing short of a DoJ investigation is satisfactory and an indict Rather and CBS for conspiracies to defraud, election tampering, and purjury amongst other charges.

Chuck Norris is a strong Christian and a wonderful man who is down to Earth...too bad he is a rare breed in acting.

This is a federal investigation - the FBI should be all over it.

That's why this country has the Texas Rangers - to go where others fear to tread.
