Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat.

Krischer is still a member of the New York bar. And we all know there's absolutely no one in New York who has an axe to grind when it comes to Rush.

Nice research. Maybe you should have posted it later in the day when everyone else can see it.

[I got the rope]

Hmmm...interesting. BTTT.

[Cacophonous]

Well, I have no doubt Rush is being targeted for his views. But did he break the law? There were allegations of threats to the housekeeper, and of his illegally obtaining the drugs. Now, good law or bad, good man or bad, if he broke the law, he needs to pay the price, irrespective of other motivations on the part of the prosecutors.

To insist on less would be hypocritical.

States Attorney Barry Krischer Endorses Lois Frankel for Mayor of West Palm Beach. This is a particularly critical time for the City .

The above comes from a google search page and that is what is linked.

Ms. Frankel I believe was also the demo leader in the Fla. House during the attempted theft of the election by Gore in 2000.

Seems to me, if I were Rush, I'd want the entire matter thoroughly investigated and brought into the open.

Then if the accusations are false, it will be on the record.

If they are not false and wrong doing is found, then he should not be above the law.

...Limbaugh, is also a Republican.

Probably a small matter but Rush is a conservative and not a "Republican." He has stated this several times. Like most conservatives, he votes Republican because, unfortunately, it is the only option right now.

Bump. Nice work.

[onyx]

Nice work. Even Dershowitz sees what's going on. THAT is a surprise.

Hang on now, this might turn out to be good. In taking on Rush, they are taking on a guy with 18 million supporters, a man with fantiastic amounts of money to spend, a man with archives with more dirt on liberals than most of us can even imagine, a man who is intellignent, articulate and not to be taken lightly.

My guess would be that the leftsit will wish they ahd left Rush alone. He used to tear them up when he was on drugs, now his mind is clear, clear as a bell, stand back and watch the fun. The leftist are having their feild day now, but in a war, there are many battles and counter attacks, ....

My money is on Rush.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I knew he was a Rat as soon as I heard that he was from Palm Beach.

[RayChuang88]

Why do I have this feeling that somebody like Florida Governor Jeb Bush might have an interest in this case?

He might want to know if the Palm Beach County and Florida state prosecutors have been doing this case using hush money from the Democratic National Committee. If it is, this could result in a number of prosecutors wondering why they're a target of both state AND Federal investigations on why they are going after Rush.

[ShandaLear]

Did you all hear the report on FOXNews this morning? They said Rush received prescriptions for 2000 pills over 6 months. I did the math and that's roughly 1 pill every 4 hours. This is hardly an unusually high amount of pain killers.

Funny how the partisan Democratic, liberal journalists in the AP and the rest of the liberal media are not pointing out that the man who is going after Rush Limbaugh, Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat.

Well, of course the media doesn't ever impute any partisan motives to prosecutors. Why, think back to Ken Starr -- you'd have to delve deep into his background to discover he's a Republican -- the media scrupulously refrained from reporting that fact.

I've read fifty posts on this so far and none has cited any specific crime....

"Illegally signed documents" ... ? are the little (sarcasm) history forms every doctor in the world makes you file considered to be LEGAL documents? I don't remember raising my right hand.

Are we tallking around some generalized fraud merely due to use of multiple legitimate sources in order to buy too many legitimate pain killers? If that is not a victimless crime there is no such thing, Rush is the only one to suffer. And, if it is a crime at all the logical recourse is treatment, which is in the past. I expect he'd volunteer for periodic drug tests as a matter of pride.

At some point there were rumors of 'bribing' his housekeeper, OK, unless he caused her to actually and knowlingly break a law that does not seem to rise to criminality. IF he threatened her, that's a different crime.

So far all I've seen are records confiscation and searches at clinics etc. I'd bet the only thing we see (a lot of) will be "investigators want to know...", "authorities believe...." and other innuendo. Meanwhile, a whole lot of unreported bales of drugs will continue to flow in through Florida unmolested.

Rant over, serious question; can anyone cite actual law that is being enforced here? An actual crime, felony or misdemeanor, frequency of enforcement, etc???

[VRWC_minion]

Rush is guilty of abusing drugs, he admits it. Should Rush get better treatment than Gov. Bush's daughter ?

[1Old Pro]

This is selective prosecution and a political witch hunt. They are worried about this "crime" and nobody cares a lick when a Kennedy murders a girl in his car when driving "illegally" drunk.

[Jim Noble]

I'm afraid it is looking as if El Rushbo is on the hook for multiple felonies.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
