I agree...there is enough smoke here to at least assume there may be a fire someplace...if he broke the law, he should be investigated (and possibly charged) just like anyone else.
It remains to be seen if the prosecutor will be enough to garner enough evidence to actually charge Rush. If he gets charged, you can be there is a lot of bad stuff coming out; I doubt very much any prosecutor would take on such a high profile case against a man with enormous resources to defend himself unless the he felt there was a decent chance of a guilty finding. Politics aside, no prosecutor wants to bring, and then loose, a high profile case.

Let's face it...the goal of this RAT witch hunt isn't to put Limbaugh away, just trash him before the election season and try and develop a moral equivilency between Conservatives and RATS.

If the motivation is political, then the ultimate outcome is not significant. The scandal during the life of the case is the main objective. Rush simply buying the drugs illegally would not be enough. It would be too obvious and actually make Rush stronger politically. The goal of the prosecutor is to find some evidence that Rush falsified a document to obtain drugs. This will establish the basis for prosecution without screaming political persecution. Even in that event, Rush's attorney is too good for Rush to ever serve time. The goal is to disable Rush politically during the run up to the election. Look at the life of the typical investigation and court case, 9 to 12 months, and compare that to the election cycle. Whether Rush is guilty or not, it would make his legal case the spotlight issue during a critical time period.
