You have to be caught with product in hand. A sting, a legal stop and search with drugs turning up, etc. He used drugs, yes, he has said as much. A police case that would put him in jail, no. That would be equivalent to a drug dealer saying after he's arrested that he sold drugs to you, and the police coming to arrest you. Without a bust with the drugs involved, you have nothing but a popcorn fart.

Or, say, a maid with taped evidence of your purchasing the drugs, who was about to reveal all to the cops. I'd say that would be pretty damning evidence, especially if they traced the calls back and were able to get a confession out of the dealer.
I'd like to point out that no one was ever EXCUSED FROM BEING A HABITUAL FELON OVER SEVERAL YEARS because they are a celebrity, or because they confessed publicly to their crimes before the cops could haul them into jail.
Also, you ignore Rush's own statement:

At the present time, the authorities are conducting an investigation, and I have been asked to limit my public comments until this investigation is complete. So I will only say that the stories you have read and heard contain inaccuracies and distortions, which I will clear up when I am free to speak about them.
