"Now the problem will be: Did [Limbaugh] . . . assist his drug supplier in hiding the proceeds [drug money] from the government?"

Seems to me that they are skipping a very important intermediate problem. Can they show that the withdrawals had anything to do with drugs at all? That assumption is made in each of these articles, but why would a guy making $35 mill per year do that? There is no reason to buy $9,999 in pills at a time, the only reason to do that is if you were dealing. Why would he do that if he wanted to fly under the radar? It just doesn't make sense. And who are these "authorities" that are talking about these legitimate banking transactions? How often did these withdrawals take place?

I smell gaming here, but hopefully Roy Black will do his job.

It looks like Rush was being blackmailed.

Not necessarily, two reasons could be bulk discount(Rush didn't need) or to reduce risk with fewer transactions. I don't know(nobody does yet) what Rush's buying habits were, but those are two reasons for large purchases.
