Actually, that was all in the National Enquirer articles. Most of that information came from the maid. I haven't seen any proof that the prosecutor himself is actually leaking, have you?

Not the kind of proof that I can source for you in a URL but considering the preponderance of information, I have little doubt that's where it's coming from.

The transcript is long, but here is the info from Black.

An article from October 3rd, 2003, from the ABC News wire. "A high ranking official in Florida has told ABC News some surprising details about the State's investigation of Rush Limbaugh." Two paragraphs down. "But a source close to the investigation told ABC News that Limbaugh's former housekeeper claims she helped Limbaugh purchase thousands of prescription pain pills over a four year period.

The source also says investigators have audio tapes of at least two drug transactions allegedly with Limbaugh's voice, but these were recorded secretly by the former housekeeper, not by the police." On the front page of USA Today, October 3 through 5, 2003, Thursday, "Florida law enforcement sources confirmed to USA Today that Limbaugh is being investigated in Palm Beach as part of a probe into the illegal sale of prescription painkillers.

Although the alleged drug dealers are the primary target, that does not include possible charges being filed against the buyers, the sources say." The National Enquirer of October 21, 2003. "A source close to the investigation involving Rush told the Enquirer that Limbaugh said he's going to cooperate with the probe. Investigators are hearing about his relationship with Wilma Cline, what his side of the story is, said the source." October 10, Associated Press.

And

Last Wednesday I was called by a reporter from the Palm Beach Post and that reporter let it slip that these stories are coming from Mike Edmondson, who was the chief spokesman from the State attorney's office, and now we find out that Mr. Edmondson has been leaking and planting these stories in the press; that he has a symbiotic relationship with the Palm Beach Post who are now writing stories trying to discredit Mr. Limbaugh, trying to make his profession or the practice of his profession discredited, and I think it's an illegitimate purpose that is going on here.
