... and one thing noone seems to want to address -

Since Rush was scared of the Clines going to the Press with the story of his LEGAL drug use and paid them off, just WHY did the Clines ...

Make up this story about selling Rush pills...
Create the email, taped and written evidence..
GO TO the cops and rat on their suppliers !!!...
Wait 10 months ..

then sell a story to the Enquirer, when they could have sold them the LEGAL use story in the first place ???

The Clines may very well have been extorting money out of Rush, but it wasn't for his LEGAL use of drugs.

You must be really adamant to get Rush. You can be adicted and totally legal. You can be embarassed and blackmailed by an adiction without illegality.

None of the emails, tapes, or whatever is alleged has been shown to be admissible. In fact the audio tapes the clines made are specifically inadmissible under florida law.

The Cline's were caught first and then offered what is termed substantial assitance.
