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???

Also expect stories such as Rush once had ____(insert your favorite STD). Or maybe Rush had himself tested for HIV! Probably not true but the tabloids will claim that they are found in the medical files.
