Biden’s doctor refuses to answer questions at closed door interview

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

What Law is that? The one that says you can make public statements and then not answer questions regarding those public statements?

That one?

If he admits those statements were false, what is to keep Congress from referring him for prosecution?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

**** THE COURTS!!! They have no jurisdiction in this. This is political, not judicial. And Politics out-ranks Judicial.

Every time

Wow! Are you channeling a liberal with that statement? Just listen to how unhinged your rant is becoming? Try following the law and you may get what you want. Comer f-ed up!

 

[Edgetho]

If he admits those statements were false, what is to keep Congress from referring him for prosecution?

If they do, THEN he can plead the 5th. God DAYUM but you're thick. You just keep going circular hoping people give up with you.

You win. I just put you on ignore

 

[debbiedowner]

Not when it is POTUS.

POTUS cognitive health is a national security issue.

What if POTUS has rabies and is out of his ******* mind and wants to melt the planet?

POTUS HEALTH SHOULD NOT BE THE SAME AS KNOWING ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBORS ASS CANCER.

Who in their right mind thinks a POTUS who is cognitively impaired should not resign or be removed via 25th?

A ******* dipshit?

Think again as it certainly does apply to a POTUS. HIPPA applies to every one and has to have the patient approve answering. An actual court of law may be something different.

 

[debbiedowner]

No. Doctor Patient privilege makes him quite "unfree."

Not if he is subpoena from a court of law he may have to answer.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If they do, THEN he can plead the 5th. God DAYUM but you're thick. You just keep going circular hoping people give up with you.

You win. I just put you on ignore

You can't plead the 5th after you have incriminated yourself by testimony. Did you ever watch a court drama on TV? Like Law and Order?

 

[Zincwarrior]

Not if he is subpoena from a court of law he may have to answer.

Then he appeals it.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If they do, THEN he can plead the 5th. God DAYUM but you're thick. You just keep going circular hoping people give up with you.

You win. I just put you on ignore

Thank you! That will prevent your epic fails at proving me wrong, while I can still expose your ignorance!

 

[debbiedowner]

Move on. Biden's time being relevant is over.

That's true and maga can't move on just like they can't get out of the ******* 50's and 60's.

 

[debbiedowner]

Indeed.

A court order.

How difficult do you believe it would be for the present Administration to obtain such a court order?

I am guessing not difficult at all.

But they're not a court.

 

[marvin martian]

Having cancer is not a crime... as president.... Even having Alzheimers is not a crime, as President....

There is no criminal need or urgency for the doctor to break his privilege with Biden and his medical privacy.

That's not what he was asked. He was asked if he was ordered to lie about Biden's condition.

We now know he was lying. The only question is whether he was ordered to lie, or lied of his own volition to protect his business interests with the Biden family.

 

[WEATHER53]

What part of the 5th Amendment do you not understand?

Just suppose he lied. Do you think he should be forced to admit that when he has the right not to admit anything?

Sucks, doesn't it, but you have the same rights under our Constitution.

Self incrimination in the exact present moment per the question
Does not cover someone else
Does not cover a potential future charge on you which may or may not occur

 

[Papageorgio]

He still has doctor patient privilege, and can still plead the Fifth to avoid state charges.

He could be charged but nothing he testified about can be used in state prosecution, so the state would have nothing and is even more compelling for the doctor to spill it all.

 

[WEATHER53]

He cannot take the position that what he says might harm Biden

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

He doesn’t have to agree, if the government grants it, it’s a done deal, this is how they did with mobster Giancana in the 70’s and the doctor can refuse to testify and he will be held with contempt of court.

The courts have rule against doctors privilege, it is rare but it has happened. Two such cases:

1. People v. Wharton (1984, New York)
   A doctor was nearly held in contempt for refusing to testify about a patient who had confessed to a crime during treatment. The court ruled that doctor-patient privilege did not apply because it was relevant to a criminal investigation.
2. State v. Betts (Tennessee, 1991)
   A psychiatrist was held in contempt for refusing to release mental health records in a homicide case. The court ruled that the need for justice overrode the privilege.

So it can happen, and there are other cases. But, government can file contempt charges and turn him over to the DOJ.

It won't happen.

This doctor won't.

He took the 5th! Did you not get that?

Who said anything about anyone else?

Yes, it f-ing does, you moron! That is the entire purpose of the 5th Amendment. Do you need to go back to high school for a refresher course? About 90% of the posters on this forum likely slept through their government/civics classes. I taught those classes, so I don't need a refresher!

 

[MarcATL]

Because we know you'll do it again as soon as you get back into power.

Do what again?

Thank you.

The amount of numbness about Civics by 90% of the board is "I don't care what the law says, my opinion is what counts" is absolutely amazing.

 

[Kondor3]

But they're not a court.

Congress-critter: "Hi. Pam? Can one of your people ask for a court order for Old Joe's med-records? Don says it's OK."

Pam: "Sure, Congressman. My pleasure. I'll have one of my people get back to you tomorrow re: rationale and timing. Can-do."
