No, I want to see him destroyed. He should not have a job as a DA.

Heck, he should not have ANY job.

EVER.

Well, good golly Miss Molly, I am in agreement with you.

Now how about a plan of attack?

[speedy]

Appreciate the suggestion, bvw. But probably best to focus on the protagonist Krischer here.

Well, good golly Miss Molly, I am in agreement with you. Now how about a plan of attack?

I have a plan. It involves a hotel room, almond oil, a polaroid camera, and a walrus.

[speedy]

We will have to rely on local Freepers to carry most of the load. Maybe we should initiate a forum dedicated to a strategy. This is an important battle. Both series and hugh.

[speedy]

I have your walrus right here. The camera could be tougher to arrange.

[Lazamataz]

I have your walrus right here. The camera could be tougher to arrange.

That doesn't help. I have a closet full of walruses. I need the camera.

For the want of a nail, the horse was lost....

[speedy]

Drat. Everybody has a walrus these days. They've become as commonplace as zebus and dik-diks. My kingdom for a camera.

[GreenLanternCorps]

I'm working on the camera and the Almond oil, but I may had to trade for them, can you lay your hands on following?

1 ton of Yak hair
1 fried sasquatch

ROFLMAO! You two are too much.

redlipstick, how about pinging the FLA people. You game for this? LOL!

[GreenLanternCorps]

had=have

[speedy]

And just what is so funny about almond oil? Would you prefer we use creme fraiche? I don't think Krischer would fall for that one.

[Lucky2]

All this info and Limbaugh has yet to be charged. Sounds more and more like a political attack rather than a legal attack. Well, the libs did say they were going to take him down. Notice how quiet they are. Their law enforcement boot lickers are doing the job. FLORIDA!!

The paw prints of the clintoons are all over this. I can hear hillary in the background now saying, "Do whatever it takes to destroy Rush." The clintons and their minions hate Rush for telling the truth about them. God bless you Rush!

[Phsstpok]

So records are "confidential" unless someone sues to make them not so?

That's the DAs argument when he cites the AG opinion on the open records law, but then they don't provide the records in question to the party bringing the open records suit, they dump them to the media.

The folks in the DAs office may actually do jail time over this. Further, Limbaugh may end up owning much of Florida out of his defamation and selective prosecution lawsuits.

[solitas]

I confess I haven't been following this whole debacle, since I've heard Limbaguh's own words and actions and have privately adjudged him guilty, but what does Landmark have to do with anything? Are they being retained by RL or are they just a 3rd-party? Seems to me that they wanted documents released and they HAVE been: Landmark, and anybody else, can view them. Did they only want the documents released to THEM? Why?

[RS]

"Landmark said it was considering taking Krischer to court over the released documents, which were given to the media. Landmark, based in Herndon, Va., and Kansas City, said Friday it had not received the documents, which were made available by the state attorney's office through a West Palm Beach copy shop."

Is Landmark trying to say here that the public records should only be released to him in private?

It seems like he's getting what he asked for... Per his request...

"Landmark Legal Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit legal organization, seeks this information for public dissemination and education."

It appears that it is being disseminated...

[RS]

"I think politely calling or emailing would be the better route. See my above post for his contact info."

Best be polite... LLF will demand a copy of it, and it will be posted on thesmokinggun in a week !

[RS]

"According to an Oct. 3 letter from Black to Assistant State Attorney James Martz, Limbaugh offered his assistance in any investigation into Cline and her husband, David. "

Now THIS I would love to see !

... I'm assuming that a letter offering assistance might have some small mention that they were blackmailing him for enormous sums of money ?

Ya'think ?

[Sacajaweau]

Can one of you Freepers who has some connection to Rush, please ask him directly if charges have been filed. Not that I don't trust the media, but this plea deal thing makes no sense.

[LS]

I hope you're right. My sense is that he is in fact guilty of "doctor shopping," which is like saying you or I are guilty of speeding at any given time. Big deal---but it is a violation of the law that a vindictive Dem can use to prosecute, and I doubt Rush has any credible defense.

[Phsstpok]

My sense is that he is in fact guilty of "doctor shopping,"

Actually, I don't believe that even that is true. Two of the doctors involved were in one practice and were both part of his treatement for his back pain, therefore they would have had, by definition, access to all of his records and prescriptions. The other two doctors were involved in the treatment of his deafness, and he was referred to them by his primary physician's practice, which is the one where he was being treated for his back pain. It's normal practice for a patient's records to be forwarded to the new specialist in that position, so it is again reasonable to assume that these doctor's also knew his history and his full spectrum of treatment, including the medicatin the other doctors had prescribed.

If these set of facts are indeed accurate (who knows, given all of the contradictory leaks?) then the case doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
