No you dont, and I have provided a link whereever I can to back up my positions.

Sorry if I just don't just take your word for things - It appears that at times what YOU say, and what others have said conflict.

Perhaps those good folks at LLF will allow you some space where you can post the actual documents you refer to ?

So, now your entire argument, such as it is, comes down to my posting the prosecutor's memo to file. I can't post it tonight, but I'll make sure we post it in the next day if we can get to our office outside of DC. But for the real Freepers following this, here's precisely what the memo says, without any alterations from me, and why it places the prosecutor in such difficulty:

MEMO TO THE FILE
FROM KEN SELVIG (Also initialed by Barry Krischer, SAO for Palm Beach County)
JANUARY 22, 2004

RELEASE OF LETTERS FROM ATTORNEY FOR RUSH LIMBAUGH IN RESPONSE TO PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST

We have received a public records request from Peter Franceschina of the Sun-Sentinel for, among other things, any correspondence to or from Roy Black and his law firm. Black currently represents Mr. Limbaugh in connection with an on-going investigation.

Yesterday afternoon I spoke by telephone with Pat Gleason, the AG's most knowledgeable person on public records law. I did not tell her the particular case I was calling about. the question posed was whether there is an exemption to the public record's law that would allow us to refuse to disclose a letter from an attorney offering to plead guilty in a case that is under investigation by not yet filed. It is my opinion that there is no exception to the law that will allow us to withhold the letter. Ms. Gleason agreed with my position. She recommended, and I agreed, that we should consult the Florida Bar for an opinion on whether the release of the attorney's letter would possible raise an issue under the Rules of Professional Responsibility (RPC).

This morning, Barry [Krischer, the State's attorney spoke with Barbara Moore of the Florida Bar about the issue. Ms. Moore's opinion is that the Florida poublic records law takes precedence over any possible issue raised by the RPC. She said that there is an ethical obligation to follow the requirements of the law and that it would in fact be unethical NOT to disclose the letter unless there is an applicable exception. I agree.

Therefore, we will comply with the request to disclose the letters received from or sent to Mr. Black and his law firm.
