Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, was the latest court hearing on the attempt by the Palm Beach County state attorney to get my medical records, to see what, if anything, might be in there that they could charge me with. They're on a fishing expedition and by their own admission I am guilty and have to prove myself innocent. They have no idea what to charge until they see the medical records and there was a hearing yesterday.
What we've done on the website is we've posted the motion that we filed with the court yesterday, and it's a pdf file. I'd love you to go look at it. It's 1.9 megabytes, many, many pages, and I'd love you to read the whole thing, but the pages that you really need to focus on here, to get the truth of what's going on here, page two and pages four through nine. Page two and pages four through nine, if you want to find out what all this is.
We've also posted a couple of newspaper stories, one from the Palm Beach Post today, one from the Palm Beach Daily News, both have recaps of what went on in court yesterday morning and they're both pretty good stories. The AP story and the Knight-Ridder story that went out yesterday afternoon, both of them are abominations. They don't capture at all what went on in the courtroom. The AP story especially. The AP story is so -- I don't know where this reporter was. This reporter could not have even been in the courtroom to write what she wrote, but it's been out there since yesterday afternoon and last night. You may have seen that, and if you have, you have no idea what really went on in court yesterday and what this is all about, but our motion will give you a clue as will these two newspaper stories. They're linked now at RushLimbaugh.com.
The Palm Beach state's attorney has been at this game for a year and a half, why won't they just drop it.

Not that Rush couldn't use the money after spending a year and a half paying lawyers to delay the investigation...
My computer automatically logs in to the member's site, but I always post the full commentary.
Well said Brushcop.
Yes. From day one this has been nothing more than an attempt to intimidate Rush Limbaugh and to distract him from his work. If they really had anything, you can bet by now they would have charged him with something. This has been going on for about two years, if memory serves. Since the things Rush has been accused of happened before that time, seems like we ought to be running up against the statute of limitations sometime soon.
Sort of like the Michael Jackson case. Just keep trying. (I've no idea whether the charges against Jackson are true; the comment is directed to the tactics.)
Ditto to that. RS appears to be really against Rush. I just try to ignore him anymore.
"He's not "delaying" the investigation, he's making them put up or shut up."
LOL - You might want to tell Roy Black about this - He has been fighting, and according to the latest filing is STILL fighting the "search warrants are not valid" fight, which has only served to delay their release to the investigators as he loses the same fight in court after court.
You might try reading the latest PDF.
I hope you are visited with a neck injury resulting in cronic pain and no access to pain relievers more powerful than asprin.
YOU HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT FLORIDA LAW.
IF he had been charge he would have AUTOMATICALLY gone to an intervention court and upon completion of treatment the charges DROPPED. NO RECORD, NOTHING.
It IS handled as a medical issue via the FL state drug intervention courts.
This system was used by a democrat state rep from broward count and by the daughter of J.Bush. The difference there is that you did not have lawyer friends of the clintons pushing this case.
It is also worth noting the FL bar is SITTING on bar compaint on the State Attorney. (the same charges another lawyer has already recieved a probable cause finding.)
He is NOT being treated the same as anyone else. The entire case is pure garbage.
go to law school, then open your mouth.
"IF he had been charge he would have AUTOMATICALLY gone to an intervention court ..."
Uh, I believe the DA has the say on IF they get to go to intervention court ...
Got Link ?
You are an adult. The government is often a brat of a child.
Yes.
And I listen to Rush as much as possible. I must not be slacking enough at work.
/Grin
There is a record check done and the clerk of court automatically assigns the case. As a matter of policy AND to avoid a dismissal on selective enforcement the process is done automatically.
nice try.
Actually it's a about POLITICS!
Florida adopted a first offender intervention court system.
Basically a pretrial program which treats addition as a medical issue. The goal is to use the pre-trial release to mandate treatment. At the end there is no criminal record on the person IF they successfully complete treatment.
It is a good program and I have processed clients through the FL system. Rush is being harrassed because he is Rush. If the state attorney had a case it would have gone into the system already. (he also would have tried to play a game with the release of information and earned a bar complaint which will survive the case regardless of outcome.)
Found one -
http://spa.american.edu/justice/publications/Florida%20Statute%20Authorizing%20Drug%20Courts.htm
"Consent for admission to the program must be obtained from the victim, state attorney, and judge who presided at the initial appearance."
Somehow I think the relationship between Rush and the State Attorney might be somewhat strained at this point...
Another thing I am curious about is his exwife. When he come out of rehab he said (paraphrase) he was no longer going to try to please everyone and he soon divorced Marta and we have never heard anything from or about her. I wonder if she had the habit and the housekeeper was supplying her...
you are wrong regardless. I have processed clients into the system. If a state attorney objected I would file a selective enforcement motion so fast the edges of the paper would be singed. (and I would win too.)
as I said.
nice try, you loose.
Not biased at all. There is more money to be made WITHOUT an intervention system. In fact I wouls say just the opposite bias if there was one.

"If a state attorney objected I would file a selective enforcement motion so fast the edges of the paper would be singed. (and I would win too.) "
So what you are saying is that you never did do that ( ... and it's NOT "automatic" as you insisted before )
and gee, I thought there were so few people EVER prosecuted for this, how could it be called selective ?
Is Rush going to get the victims ( the doctors who issued the overlapping prescriptions ) to sign onto it also ?
never had to do that because it has been automatic for everyone. The ONLY person I have seen who had problems IS RUSH.
Now you are disembling. We are discussing possession offenders. Doctor shopping is a different issue which we have repeatedly discussed every time you go into your pathetic efforts to bash Rush for the sake of bashing Rush.
"We are discussing possession offenders."
Why ? Rush is not under investigation for possession.
"Doctor shopping is a different issue "
Doctor Shopping is the ONLY issue Rush is involved with... when did you go off topic ?

I call it the spaghetti method, toss if against the wall and see if anything sticks.
On the other hand, I get junk mail for superpoenas regularly.
