this couple is in trouble with the law and copped a deal to help the police bust Rush Limbaugh

Informants are used all the time, most are criminals and many are even paid for their efforts. Never heard a conservative complain about using them to bust other users before.

I am a conservative and I believe that dangling light sentences in front of criminals encourages them to lie through their teeth to the point that they will willingly send an innocent person to jail.

" Informants are used all the time, most are criminals and many are even paid for their efforts."

If a prosecutor has to,he will use a dealer they have turned,as a witness. They prefer to have corroboration,from more upstanding members of the community,but,sometimes they don't have any choice. And they do get convictions based on the testimony of the dealers.

" Late last year, Shohat escorted them to Palm Beach County prosecutor James Martz."

If Rush has been consorting with this couple,in the past year,he may well have shown up on surveillance video or interacted with an undercover cop.Anyone who thinks this will be a walk in the park for Rush,should check out the Florida Statutes on narcotics possession, Section 893. If the prosecutors have any solid evidence on Rush,the pressure to prosecute him,will be enormous. Jeb Bush's daughter,Noelle, was jailed for trying to pass a fake Xanax prescription,which is not a narcotic.
