I don't know if Black does civil cases but it is clear that they released confidential documents. They have tried to say that they obtained an opinion before they did it but the sources don't support their claims. Sounds like an open and shut case. Probably not the way Rushbo will go. He wants this behind him. Perhaps it would still add leverage to make the criminal investigation go away.

The question for the SA is how to spin this into not being an ethics violation. The Bar can expand or contract the complain as they see fit. Their investigation is not automatically limited to the behavior complained of.

The question now is to find out which committee it has been assigned to and to find out if there are cronies on that committee. You will generally find committee members will recuse themselves if they know the person in any way.

Why? The prosecutor isn't going to have to pay a civil judgment. The taxpayers of the county will. That only gives them more incentive to convict Rush. But given their usually exists a doctrine called governmental immunity, its very unlikely anyone is going to see any $$.
