The plot thickens

[Bluntpoint]

The Kennedy Lawyer will work his magic and get a 'plea bargin' for rushie

[SubMareener]

Prior thread.

[Guyin4Os]

Notice the article makes no mention of the fact that the D.A. is an anti-Bush, pro-Clinton democrat.

[Palladin]

All rightee...so if this great and honorable man, Rush Limbaugh, did no wrong and had nothing to hide, why the hell was he paying off these two grifters???

[JoeSchem]

During a hearing over whether prosecutors should have access to Limbaugh's medical records, attorney Roy Black said Limbaugh paid "extreme amounts of money" to Wilma Cline, his former housekeeper, and her husband, first for pills and then for extortion.

Isn't paying off a blackmailer also a crime?

I would like to know when Wilma Cline is going to be prosecuted for pushing drugs.

[Cicero]

I'll give Rush the benefit of the doubt.

[Tall_Texan]

Limbaugh has insisted he has done nothing illegal.

I can only listen to his show about half the time but I don't recall him ever saying, much less insisting, that he has done nothing illegal. I think he's smarter than to have said that.

What he said when he left on rehab was that he was not aware of any investigation (at that time).

He did allude to the idea that he was being blackmailed when discussing the Michael Jackson case. I do remember that.

[mansion]

Limbaugh's got enough money - he could have saved a lot of time, money, and face if he'd just had the blackmailer killed. (kidding!)

As to the matter of his plea - I say we convince him to plead "not guilty", and blanket the jurisdiction with FIJA pamphlets! This could be a chance to get some common sense into our drug laws...

Fully Informed Jury Association (FIJA)

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

I have a funny feeling (intuition?) about Rush. Time will tell.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Rush Limbaugh, who has never held elective office, must have his medical records made public but we still don't have access to Bill Clinton's medical records,, who has never done anything except seek public office.

Surreal.

[Republican Wildcat]

There's not enough information out there to declare him innocent or guilty. We can only speculate. He gets the benefit of the doubt from me until more is known.

Strangely we have people on here declaring him absolutely innocent. These people are ridiculed for this...then these people doing the ridiculing do just the opposite--declare him absolutely guilty. Hypocrisy. Folks, none of us knows the extent of what has happened here, and to make declarations one way or the other is folly.

[Jorge]

So the whistle-blowing maid turns out to be a black-mailer too.

Perhaps her ill-will toward Rush will backfire on her.
And deservedly so.

[Victoria Delsoul]

The Clines later went public with their charges in the National Enquirer, alleging that Limbaugh's representative had paid them hush money. Sources said the couple was paid a six-figure sum for their story.

These people should be prosecuted and convicted for blackmail and extortion and thrown in jail so they can't do this to someone else.

[RS]

"Bellows said Limbaugh never intended to sell the drugs. "

WHOA !

Did she say he never INTENDED to sell the drugs ????


... as in "I never INTENDED to run him over" ....?


There maybe something here MUCH bigger then people are thinking...

[longtermmemmory]

A spokeswoman for the radio network that carries Limbaugh's show said discussions have taken place between Black and prosecutors about a possible resolution of the investigation of Limbaugh.

** *** ***

It is SOP for the prosecutor to make a plea offer. It is just odd for an offer to come BEFORE a charge has been filed. Rejecting a plea offer is discussing a plea.

[razorback-bert]

Fox is reporting the DA was to charge him with doctor shopping.

Just think what doctor shopping would do to national health care.

Can't have people choosing their own doctor(s).

Rush is proof postive that junkies are a menace to society and need to be locked away
