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.
Kinda makes you wonder if Burkett is starting to get real nervous, with this pre-emptory statement to the press. Things are getting ready to get real ugly on these forged memos and I'm convinced that somebody is going to rat out the real perpetrators and their connections. The trail back to the DNC will become as appearant as a pumpkin on a shelf with the bananas at your favorite grocery store!
The Texas Rangers are one of the better cop shops in the country and they don't even need political cover to ferret this whole deal out into the open, the whole state (except for the Democratic People's Republic of Travis County - Austin) is about as Republican and conservative as you can get.
Memo to Burkett. Make a deal to cover your own butt, and make it fast. The Dems and Rather will throw you on the train tracks without a moment's thought. What do you owe them? Tell the truth and save your own rear end.
Here's a popcorn reminder for you.
One Rather, One Ranger!
From the TexasRangers.Org site I found the following ... The Rangers have a heritage that began with the earliest settlements in Texas. They have been compared to four other world-famous law enforcement agencies, the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Danny boy, you and your pals probably think that it's all hit the fan by now. Hope you like the smell of crap, cause it ain't goin away anytime soon.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Texas ping list!. . .don't be shy.
Full Texas Ping List
REMEMBER DAN..... It only takes ONE RANGER
That was great Weegee!
After I made this pic, I decided I should have extended Delay's statement to include ".... if I wanted to!"
In Texas the A.G. doesn't prosecute cases unless he is helping a local prosecutor or (at their request) or appointed because a local prosecutor has a conflict. Even if Abbott finds evidence to support a case he still needs an elected prosecutor in the proper jurisdiction to take the case to a grand jury.
Great work weegee!
Why the Texas Rangers? Why not the Dallas Cowboys?
YaaaaahhhhhhhhhoooooOOOOOOOOOO!
