Joe Ferguson forever

Venous insufficiency is a chronic condition. Scleotherapy is an option but most often treatment is begun with compression hose. Tight stockings to the knee or higher. Varicose veins are usually present. Maybe that’s why you never see him in shorts. There are many alternative causes. Congestive heart failure being the most serious. Covid can cause myocarditis which can cause CHF. Just saying…

There probably considering the legal aspect. Bezos would likely publish in Washington Post because of his deep pockets The Melanie story is interesting. Did he introduce them or was she a mail order bride?

Great summary piece https://newrepublic.com/article/198048/trump-epstein-files-scandal-trapped This may be the first Trump scandal that actually feels like a scandal for some of Trump’s supporters—not because they think he actually played any role in the underage sex trafficking or that he silenced Epstein in some way in 2019, but because it effectively dispels a mythology that they had constructed to justify supporting him no matter what. Trump is not, in fact, a clandestine crusader who is heroically working to take down a deep-state pedophile ring that wants to destroy him first. He’s just another politician looking to get out of a jam.😂

or maybe the leakers possess a conscience.

if the Atlantic were a newspaper, I guess it could be.

you're confusing me with someone else. He's actually quite good but not as good as he says. He cheats. shocker...

no, his dad appears to have been a real patriotic ww2. I mean, Bill https://www.npr.org/2022/08/20/1118625157/doj-barr-trump-russia-investigation-memo

BMI is a seriously flaw bmi is a seriously flawed metric. Josh is "overweight" at 28.1

maybe she'll shed some light on the files. risky play donnie.

but they see conspiracies in contrails....

Why was she chosen for some of the highest profile cases recently. If every US atty was fired for a mixed verdict, there'd be none left. Barr is garbage but he does have a typical maga face, He couldn't be anything but maga.

Cmon. She was involved in the Epstein case. Up to her eyes. Wanna see the real deep state? Look at Barr.

For once I agree with this idiot. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometime. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/16/trump-epstein-maga-anger-00456207 At least the maga's here are still in the majority but barely... Sixty-three percent of voters in a Quinnipiac University national poll released Wednesday said that they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the files. Republicans were also nearly split. Just 40 percent said they support how he’s handled the files, with 36 percent disapproving and another 20 percent not offering an opinion.

they don't care. They're "Christian" nationalists

He was convicted. trump is after her dad. Gateway Pundit spins it that she's evil. connect the dots. scapegoat. x

I'd just ignore you but my back issues playing up and I'm bored sitting around. Do you think maybe someone above her in Justice might have ordered her to filed the declaration or did this middling US attorney decide to do this on her own. She prosecuted both epstein and Maxwell. One died in prison and one is rotting away there. Seems she wass pretty good at her job. SCAPEGOAT!!!! one of trump's calling cards. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/16/maurene-comey-fired-doj-00458921?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR67MlRGaK6sdkMnNr7kYdyMMZtUsCS4XQ6PP9Jg3RMMYyKDnTrQnB7G5vQmyQ_aem_3KxNPH-8jxmuASkIpIhTEA Comey, who had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade, prosecuted both Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. In recent weeks, President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have faced a firestorm of criticism over their decision not to release additional files related to Epstein, the disgraced financier who was accused of running a child sex trafficking ring. Prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, including Comey, charged Epstein in 2019 with sex trafficking of minors. He died by suicide in jail while awaiting trial on those charges. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and sentenced to 20 years in prison. She is appealing her conviction. Wh was head of Justice in 2019?

keep trying. someday you might still get into law school. There are many and I hear it's easy to get in.

We all are aware that GROK is unbiased. At least O'Connor isn't a Jewish name. Imagine grok's answer if he was named Steinberg... And you left this part of grok's answer out: However, critics argue the investigation may be politically motivated, potentially undermining its oversight status. Compliance depends on the committee's process and legal adherence. For details, see HHS HIPAA Guidance. His lawyer advised him correctly.

from CBS news O'Connor's attorneys, David Schertler and Mark MacDougall, said he declined to answer lawmakers' questions based on doctor-patient privilege and his rights under the Fifth Amendment. In a statement to the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, the attorneys said that the "totality of the circumstances surrounding this Committee's investigation leave Dr. O'Connor no choice but to decline to answer questions," while emphasizing that asserting Fifth Amendment privilege "does not imply that Dr. O'Connor has committed any crime. Schertler is correct. perhaps it has something to do with frequency https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-deposed-ny-ag-civil-probe-business-practices-rcna42355

who was in charge of intelligence then?

you try so hard. and you're very trying. Are you a hippa lawyer? It's a very complex area. Some lawyers do nothing else. If a question deals with a patients condition, I'd doubt there is a HIPAA lawyer who would counsel to answer the question except if there was a HIPAA subpoena. Perhaps they'll get one. I'd guess the testimony would not be made public in that instance. re criminal penalties and jail you are simply wrong.

read the law. we were required to attend classes on it. Criminal Penalties. A person who knowingly obtains or discloses individually identifiable health information in violation of the Privacy Rule may face a criminal penalty of up to $50,000 and up to one-year imprisonment. The criminal penalties increase to $100,000 and up to five years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves false pretenses, and to $250,000 and up to 10 years imprisonment if the wrongful conduct involves the intent to sell, transfer, or use identifiable health information for commercial advantage, personal gain or malicious harm. The Department of Justice is responsible for criminal prosecutions under the Priv a specific HIPAA subpoena is required to give info protected by the statute and under very specific circumstances. Was there a specific HIPPA subpoena? Let's see it. A HIPAA subpoena is a legal document that compels healthcare providers to release protected health information (PHI) that they would typically be prohibited from disclosing under HIPAA privacy rules. Compliance with the subpoena requires that the request is valid and that the provider follows specific procedures to ensure patient notification and minimal disclosure of information.

ummm, he could go to jail for violating the HIPAA laws, not to mention physician ethics requirements if he gave details about a patient. https://www.cdc.gov/phlp/php/resources/health-insurance-portability-and-accountability-act-of-1996-hipaa.html Criminal Penalties.
