I don't believe the maid, she sold the story to the NE to get money.

Rush has already confirmed part of what she said and specifically denied nothing that she has accused him of doing.

You can have a federal crime, if the drugs go over state lines. This all happen inside the state of Florida.

Federal drug crimes (even for mere possession) do not require any interstate activities. If Rush illegally obtained oxycontin or another controlled substance, he committed a federal crime punishable by a maximum prison term of a year each time he did so.

"Rush has already confirmed part of what she said...."

She sold him the drugs....so that makes her the dealer and Rush the user.

"Federal drug crime...." You have to prove his intent was to sell drugs. Was he busy sorting out pills and putting them into little plastic envelopes in his Limo? Did he have his cigar box all neatly arranged with his merchandise? Did he have a code name? Did he have his maid and her husband beat up non-paying customers?
Or did he stockpiled his Oxycontin for his weekend golf trip. You know a gallon size zip lock bag marked "Rush's OxyContin...personal use only." Then that's personal use.
You have to prove without reasonable doubt that he was a big time drug dealer or a man medicating his chronic spinal pain.
