Think this through carefully. The letters do not harm Rush. They help him. The issue is their illegal release under Florida law. The prosecutor thought he was clever in releasing them. He violated Florida law in doing so. He created a very serious ethics issue, and it will be dealt with. So, before you attack those who are trying to confront this and beat it back, think through your criticisms.

I have to disagree. For what it's worth he said he got cover from the state bar and the state attorney's office before releasing the documents. Even if he committed some ethical violation, that's not going to be adjudicated by the trial judge. It will be done by an arm of the state bar, which will probably take many many months. Meanwhile Rush's private negotiations are exposed to the world and doors of opportunity to settle the case close. All because some group thought it would be cute to FOIA the prosecutor.
