And Ds just belittled all those “conspiracy theorists.”

 

Pleading the 5th to the question “were you ever told by the Biden administration to hide his health status” is admitting they did, they all lied, and should never hold office again

 

 


 


That memo was leaked to axios bc they knew his testimony was coming this week.

ummm, he could go to jail for violating the HIPAA laws, not to mention physician ethics requirements if he gave details about a patient.

No he cannot go to jail for that.  That’s wrong. 
 

Not under a subpoena.  
 

And he wasn’t asked about a condition.  
 

He was asked if he was told to lie about it.

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.

He was asked if he was told to conceal any medical conditions - which he is named in Tapper’s book as having - and he didn’t say “no I was not.”

 

Thats the purpose of the investigation. 
 

Did they cover it up.  Thats what he was asked.  
 

HIPAA did not apply.   And arguing it as a violation of such in this instance under subpoena does not.

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.

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG:

 

Just a reminder that when it’s a Republican, pleading the 5th is a tacit admission of guilt.

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.

He was asked if he covered up anything and didn’t say no.  


 

It was a “valid” subpoena.

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.

Lol you cited his lawyers.  Less reliable than Grok.  

 

Keep in mind - in February of 2024 this guy said publicly Biden was “healthy, active, and robust.”

This is not a medical question.  It’s a “no they did or did not” question.

He was the "best" version of Biden in 2024!

 

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough was confronted with a viral clip of him deeming former President Joe Biden the “best Biden ever” in March 2024 on Tuesday, standing by his assessment of the former president, citing his personal interactions with him.

 

Speaking to Mark Halperin during his show, “Next Up with Mark Halperin,” Scarborough watched the clip of himself, where he argued that the former president was “far beyond cogent.”

 

“I’ve said it for years now, he’s cogent. But I undersold it when I said he was cogent, he’s far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he’s better than he’s ever been, intellectually, analytically, because he’s been around for 50 years,” Scarborough said during a March 2024 “Morning Joe” broadcast. “Start your tape right now because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

 

Joe Scarborough: The BEST Biden Ever!

I'm totally shocked that the same government and media that blatantly lied to the country about Russia collusion and covid thought that they'd be just fine also lying about an obviously demented Biden.
