But after four months, prosecutors there have not filed a single charge against the radio talk show host.<\/line><BR\/>Bill Tucker has the report from Florida. <\/line><BR\/>(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)<\/line><BR\/>BILL TUCKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The question about the number one personality in radio has become: Is Rush Limbaugh being fairly prosecuted or simply persecuted by the Palm Beach County prosecutor\u2019s office?<\/line><BR\/>ROY BLACK, LIMBAUGH\u2019S ATTORNEY: I think there\u2019s something about this case that has forced them or motivated them to act differently than in any other case. I mean there\u2019s no question that he\u2019s been singled out for investigation more than anyone else I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER: A charge denied by prosecutor Barry Krischer who says the Limbaugh case is being investigated like any other alleged crime. Yet some of the actions by the state attorney raise serious questions. RUSH LIMBAUGH, RADIO TALK-SHOW HOST: We have been informed that this afternoon the Palm Beach County state attorney\u2019s office will announce that it has seized my medical records.<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER: Under Florida law, attorneys for defendants are to be notified before not after medical records are seized.<\/line><BR\/>And then there\u2019s the prosecutor\u2019s decision to release letters between its office and Limbaugh\u2019s attorney discussing terms of a settlement. The prosecutor\u2019s office says the release of those letters was OK\u2019d by both the Florida Bar and the state attorney general\u2019s office, but both groups say they did not give their approval.<\/line><BR\/>BRUCE ROGOW, NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY: I think what you\u2019re seeing is this enormous attention because it is Rush Limbaugh and then the prosecutor, I think, not using good judgment in how he\u2019s handled some of these matters.<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER (on camera): The fate of Limbaugh\u2019s medical records will be decide here at the Fourth District Court of Appeals, the same court which allowed the ACLU to file a friend of the court brief on behalf of Limbaugh.<\/line><BR\/>(voice-over): The American Civil Liberties Union is concerned about the law and its protection of the privacy of medical records, but there is another concern.<\/line><BR\/>HOWARD SIMON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ACLU OF FLORIDA: I guess one thing that bothers me about this case is why &#8212; you know, and, frankly, at least some suspicion as to whether or not the prosecutor is just after a highly visible national personality to put as a trophy on his mantelpiece.<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER: And a trophy during an election year can be valuable.<\/line><BR\/>(END VIDEOTAPE)<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER: Now county prosecutor Barry Krischer is up for reelection this year. He\u2019s a Democrat. And a profile of a tough prosecutor, not intimidated by the wealthy and powerful &#8212; Lou, that could play well with some of the voters.<\/line><BR\/>DOBBS: It could also blow up if &#8212; with the ACLU supporting Rush Limbaugh in this case in basically saying it looks like a matter of partisan politics. Is there any sign that this is going to wind down and reach some conclusion?<\/line><BR\/>TUCKER: No. If anything, it appears there is &#8212; some former prosecutors that I spoke with today, Lou, that suggested that maybe any delay would work in Krischer\u2019s favor and he could probably favorably resolve this in Rush\u2019s favor after the election happens, but he\u2019d like to delay it.<\/line><BR\/>DOBBS: Justice delayed, I guess, we could style that.<\/line><BR\/>Bill Tucker, thank you very much.<\/line><BR\/><strong>END TRANSCRIPT<\/strong><\/line><\/p>\n<paragraph\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEGIN TRANSCRIPTLOU DOBBS: In Florida, another high-profile case involving another celebrity, this one Rush Limbaugh.
