The AG is clearly saying that just because she knows of no specific exemptions for releasing plea bargain documents in the sunshine law THAT THAT DOES NOT MEAN ITS OKAY TO JUST GO AHEAD AND RELEASE THEM.

Correct - the law says that you are REQUIRED to release them, not just that it's OK to release them.

But he went a further and checked with ethics, and again got NO OBJECTION.

BOTH experts AGREED to the release, but both SUGGESTED that he go to a judge.
He made the call, and out the door they went.

BTW - shouldn't Black be filing a lawsuit on this if he thinks he's got a case ? LLF ( Lapdog Legal Foundation ) is filing the ethics violation, but the State is still responsible...

BOTH experts AGREED to the release,

*BUZZ* No they did not. They said weighing it all out (constitution, statutes et al [not just your Sunshine law favrote]) its not clear. He said they agreed with him that the documents must be made public. A LIE. the AG clearly rebuked him for it (if he did nothing wrong why the letter? why is the AG "disappointed in him personally and professionally?" Oh yeah, I forgot, these are the questions you refuse to answer.)

The only reasonable course of action in such a case would be to consult the defense and if defense said no, have a judge decide. He didn't instead he LIED. Because he just couldn't stand the idea that he might not get his chance to smear the accused. Now he may have to pay a price for hasty hate-driven stupidity.

BTW - shouldn't Black be filing a lawsuit on this if he thinks he's got a case?

I don't know, shouldn't the SA actually bother to charge Limbaugh if he thinks he has a case? Black may yet, we'll see. I hope he does.
