Rush Limbaugh: Case
built 222 days ago
Last week, Rush Limbaugh was discussing a federal legal case against soldiers who falsely applied for benefits or otherwise made false claims about their service. One soldier was named in particular, Jesse MacBeth. It was MacBeth who was called a “phony soldier” because he claimed to have witnessed atrocities in Iraq and to have won a purple heart when in reality he was discharged in basic training after only 44 days. He was recently sentenced in federal court.

He will continue to claim that it's all political, but the court has noted the essence of the case: No one should be able to use medical privacy to conceal what may be evidence of a crime (read more - Palm Beach Post Editorial) (read more - EOnline)

The criminal case against Limbaugh is on hold pending a decision from a Florida appeals court. It will decide whether the seizure of Limbaugh’s medical records, which were taken by investigators in November, violated privacy laws.
