The publication of the list of drugs prescribed to Rush Limbaugh on thesmokinggun.com is in direct violation of the FEDERAL HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) as well as a violation of proper investigatory practices and, I am certain, a host of laws about compromising an on-going investigation. These are far greater crimes than any "doctor shopping" as they imply malfeasance in office and misuse of the public trust.
The fact that this information was released PRIOR to the granting of a search warrant tells lots about the agenda of the person who sent it to the press.
