I would wager a large sum that that is EXACTLY where the leaks are coming from.
This is a political prosecution, and the prosecutor has to pimp his weak case in the press to keep it alive.
Prosecutors declined to comment on the letters, which were released to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in response to a request under the state's public-records laws. Prosecutors consulted with the Florida Attorney General's Office and the Florida Bar before determining the letters are not confidential and had to be released as public records.
"My request of Mr. Krischer was for the same treatment anyone else in this situation would receive. The state's response was preposterous, and I declined to respond to it," Black said in a statement Thursday.
Black said in his statement that he expected prosecutors to keep his communications with them private, and he noted that his Dec. 11 letter was marked confidential. Black has been critical of the investigation, which he has said is politically motivated, and of leaks about the case to the media.
"What is even more troubling is this office's continued violations of Florida law and Bar ethics," Black said. "The disclosure of these highly confidential communications violate the Florida statutes, the rules of procedure and evidence, and the Florida Bar rules. Once again, because the state has no case against Mr. Limbaugh, they continually seek to discredit him in the media."
In a Dec. 18 letter to Krischer asking for an investigation into alleged leaks from his office, Black wrote that he had been contacted by the media the day before and asked whether Limbaugh was pleading guilty to a felony.
"The planting of a story that a suspect, in a highly publicized investigation, was about to plead guilty clearly interferes with the investigation and the adjudicative process. No leak could have more impact than this," Black wrote. "Any person would know that this type of story would have a major impact with potential jurors and others."
While the exchange between prosecutors and Black was going on, Black also was fighting to prevent prosecutors from gaining access to Limbaugh's medical records by arguing they were improperly seized with search warrants rather than being subpoenaed after giving Limbaugh a chance to contest the issue in court.
The fight over Limbaugh's medical records now is with the Fourth District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach.
"It is certainly clear by now that Rush Limbaugh was addicted to prescription pain medication. The latest round of search warrants seizing Rush's medical records will show that he had serious medical problems, was prescribed pain medication and took large amounts of it. He subsequently became addicted to these highly addictive substances," Black wrote in his Dec. 11 letter.
"He has admitted as much on his radio show. Not only that, he checked himself into one of the nation's finest drug rehabilitation centers. He has followed his rehabilitation with almost daily sessions with his own psychologist following up on the treatment he received at the center."
Since Limbaugh admitted his problem and sought treatment, Black wrote that an intervention program would be appropriate because it would "require him to continue his addiction treatment."
Sorry guys..guess my sarcasm didn't come through.
I of course agree with both of you.
