Looks like both Krischer and Fitz are graduates of the infamous Ronnie Earle Political Prosecutions Law School. Respect for the law indeed.

Can Limbaugh sue the DA for malicious prosecution?


The ingedients for a MP suit are:

1)The charge has to be filed and brought

2) Evidence has to be heard in court

3) Charge dismissed for lack of evidence, alibi,
mistaken identity, frivolousness, which shuould have been
reasonably apparent to the investigators, ignoring exculpatory evidence unreasonably etc.

4) damages need to be suffered by the defendant.

That is one reason Rush has not been charged, in a jury trial they would never stick and the prosecutor and /or
investigators involved ( including false witnesses) could be charged with Malicious Prosecution.

They have been pretty cute about not stepping over the line.

The GOP has had a golden opportunity since 1994 to change a lot of things in this country. They've blown it and continue to blow it. They should have rallied around Rush for all he's done to keep them afloat all these years. Now more than ever, the GOP needs to show some balls in many arenas....... including helping fight the RATS in this sadistic quest to destroy Rush. It won't happen. the Great Oz has spoken

Why don't the democrats just go ahead and sue to overturn that pesky, outdated Constitution. That seems to be their ultimate goal. I hope you're not just figuring that out. It's been obvious since the 1960s to me, and probably longer. When was the ACLU was founded? At least since then.

If Rush was a leftist celebrity, he would be on every talk show in America talking about overcoming addiction.

If only Rush would come out swinging and admit that the War on Drugs was a horrendous mistake, citing his own case as an example of prosecutorial excess. He has to admit that he and Tommy Chong find themselves on the same side in this war.

The judge or judges that keep allowing the prosecutor to pursue this should be impeached or worse.

This is ridiculous.

The Palm Beach prosecutor is Betty Castors son !
She was the Dems senate candidate last year !
She was the one that was in charge of USF when
the PLO was running a dept of Islamic studies .
She allowed this crowd to stay at USF even after the FBI warned her.
During the campaign stop in Broward she made a crack about her son going after RUSH to put him behind BARS !!!
This guy is a DNC operative not a fair prosecutor !

Actually, I wouldn't use that metaphor: the IRS actually does this. It's called an "audit".

I love it that the left sees Rush as a huge threat to their very existence, but it is time for a judge to put a stop to this. At what point does prosecution become persecution?

The left has been trying in vain to get rid of El Rushbo any way they can. They have tried to legislate the airwaves and will probably make an attempt to do so again in the near future. This prosecutor makes me physically ill. To think that he is allowed to get away with this kind of harassment is outrageous. Return Rush's medical records and forget about it.

What I want to know is aren't there any Republican prosecutors looking into democrats and snooping for dirt when even there isn't any dirt to be found, you know, like the democrat prosecutors are doing with Tom Delay, and Rush Limbaugh, but looking and digging only because their political prey is not of the same feather?

Actually, I'm thinking the democrat's blatant and adoring regard for that old big time schmoozer and first degree reprobate, Bill Clinton, and his outlandish propensity for scandal and the selling of nuke technology to countries of highly dubious character, along with the fact that he couldn't find anything legal to justifiably grab that scumbag terrorist mastermind, bin laden, any republican prosecutor worth his law degree, could easily have found something as innocuous as Krischner is deliberately wasting hard earned tax dollars to find anything to pin on the democrats arch nemesis, Rush Limbaugh.

Heck, that sadist rape room torturer and human paper shredder feeder, Saddam gets better treatment and sympathy from the democrats. And, how about democrat compassion for the bloodthirsty headcutters and homicidal suicidal terrorists?

My gosh, you'd think the democrats have annointed themselves soulbros to satan's spawn, the way they carry on about rights, justice, and American honor, if we don't treat these subhuman terrorists with respect and concern for their feelings.

Yeah, give me a break. Rush Limbaugh is a great and remarkably effective patriot who has the blessed power to voice the thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and concerns of over 21 MIllion people. To the left that makes him very dangerous. Each time he pushes the On the Air button to his mighty trumpeting EIB Golden Microphone he instills fear into the left for his bold audacity to strike down their insipid lies, failures, deceptions and destructive anti-American propaganda.

I'm thinking that his malcontented political hunting prosecutor is persecuting Rush's loyal listening audience for their beliefs, their voice, the hopes and dreams, their love for FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

The Prosecutor is still searching for "evidence" after 2 years? Where's Ronnie Earle when you need him!!??

Just get Bill Burkett and Mary Mapes on the case and they'll have their "evidence" in ten minutes.

I didnt realize Chong was taking prescription medicines for a legitimate back pain.

Over medicating oneself is not the same as taking illegal drugs.

Dude, I think youre way off on this one.

No, Chong was not imprisoned for drugs. He was imprisoned for - I'm not making this up - selling pipes that could have been used to smoke dope. Your tax dollars at work, way-off-base breath.

They also said on Britt Hume's show this afternoon the Dem Plan is to turn everyone so against the GOP that they will sweep '06 and then start impeachment proceedings against the President... so there we have it and something for everyone to think about before voting independent or staying home next year.

<< If Rush was a leftist celebrity, he would be on every talk show in America talking about overcoming [The inevitable consequence of his having wilfully engaged in a criminal activity.]

If Mr Limbaugh; who used to talk quite openly about having for a time been a pot smoker and for years, clearly hooked on something, weighed in at about four hundred pounds, all the while castigating "drug addicts, [He spent a week when Kurt Cobain died obscenely rubbishing "just another dead doper"] and who has for years chain sucked on stinking cigars clutched in his very-much nicotine-stained fingers, while bloviating about having "quit smoking;" was and or had even half of the character and even one of the the balls of "the leftist celebrity," Mrs Martha Stewart, he'd have long-ago afforded himself the dignity of the consequences of his own actions.
