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

[Delldude]

I find it fascinating that the same people now arguing Biden's right to confidentiality were, just a year ago, demanding intimate details to alleged sexcapades between Trump and E. Jean Carroll over a supposed encounter they had 40 years earlier.

They Kavanaughed Trump.

Biden has no private medical issues. If the guy has a stye in the eye, someone needs to know about it.


We are not asking the doctor about Biden's cholesterol level or serum glucose--- what congress is interested in whether this bum doctor was reporting overt, serious medical problems to others that could directly impact his ability to carry the nuclear football and to run the country.

None of it, is required by the Constitution or laws derived from it.

You and I can, wish all we want...and believe we should be told....but there is nothing under any law or regulation or Constitution, requiring such.

So why waste the tax payer's dime on the dog and pony shows, when there are so many other critical issues congress should be addressing for We the People....?

If Trump was actually this criminal predator, they would have had evidence for it and nearly a decade of constant attacks - they haven't found it. It's all a projection.

Well, the E Jean Carroll case was a travesty. It was 40 years old, she contradicted herself, no real proof, and her star witness was a convicted prevaricator.

The one most solid case against Trump was from 20 years ago, from a media interview where Trump knowingly took someone around and showed and told them stuff! So Trump would not incriminate himself. In the interview, he spoke of beauty contestants willingly inviting others to fondle them supposedly to court favor in the contest. Trump acknowledged it (everyone already knew this is what goes on in such contests), but never said he personally did it.

Then the democrats spent the next four years trying to claim and imply he did as the basis for their best case.

Now they want to know what is in the Epstein files. The same Epstein files Biden had for years. If there was any incriminating Trump evidence in it, I think the democrats would have already seized on it.

Meanwhile, the democrats are not asking about the one person known to have flown to Epstein's island and spent so much time there they made a painting of him:

Same guy who used to molest unpaid junior interns right in the White House.

Not the question. Doctors don't withhold motives and actions based on constitutionality, but based on personal incrimination.

The suit was for defamation...Trump called her a liar, she lost her job over it I believe....she sued him for defamation....the only way for a jury to decide the case is to decide if she was lying, or if he was lying....about this incident in the dressing room....the jury, believed her and not him....the big money came when he continued to defame her after the trial, and she sued again.

What do think Lady Care4all ?

Should Biden's doctor man-up and be courageously honest and patriotic (we paid him) with the American people?

I think you're wrong on that....? When reporters plea the 5 th when not revealing their source, is similar...the reporter broke no laws, but pleas the 5th....

I didn't know Congress was asking the doctor to see Biden's medical charts, but his overall condition as president is always a matter of import to the whole country, THAT IS WHY THEY WROTE THE 25TH AMENDMENT.

If Trump were blind, would you defend his doctor and administration keeping it hidden from the public? Yet Joe Biden had a condition that impaired his ability to think, reason, and defend this country.

Except no one has asked for confidential information about Biden’s medical conditions. He was asked if he falsified records, lied or was directed to lie.

Yet Barry Obumma tried to destroy James Rosen merely for doing his job, and even violated their 1st amendment by secretly ordering journalist's phone records be searched.

Fox News reporter secretly monitored by Obama administration: court documents

Agents monitored James Rosen's movements in and out of the State Department, searched his personal emails and cell phone records

More Than All Past Presidents, Obama Uses 1917 Espionage Act to Go After Reporters

There is one problem with the entirely justified if self-interested media squawking about the Justice Department snooping into the phone records of multiple Associated Press reporters and Fox News’ James Rosen. The problem is that what the AP reporters and Rosen did arguably violates the letter...

You also don't care to explain yourself or be correct also.

Sue me asshole.

NO! FYI- The painting was an art student's work, her thesis I believe, she donated it to be auctioned off at a University Charity Event....Epstein saw it and bought it at the auction.

Everyone qualifies for the 5th.

No, the Fifth is protection from self-incrimination. If he has done nothing that he can be charged for, I don’t think the Fifth applies. He can’t invoke it for protection for obeying the Hippocratic Oath. Congress can waive the HIPPA regulations, so again the Fifth doesn’t apply. The Congress can also grant the doctor conditional immunity and then he has to testify or go to jail.

Stage 4 cancer? Hate to break it to you but he had a small nodule and never denied it. I know of more than a few people that have cancer and refuse to lie down and just give up. There is your answer to your question. If that's all that is bothering you about Biden then I would say things look very cheery. But will say this, it doesn't matter if he was a good or bad president (he is listed as about average) would I invite him for supper? Carter was a really, really bad President but one hell of a nice guy. Reagan (no matter of his shortcomings as President) would be a delightful dinner guest.

Now, that being said, I refuse to vote for a Felon who is even more evil than his arrest record. And I damn well won't invite him for dinner unless he's the main feature on the Cannibal's lunch menu.

I wouldn’t invite Trump to dinner because I view him as a blowhard. But I don’t see where felonies which were inflated from expired misdemeanors are an issue. No one else has ever been charged with felonies for what Trump did. Especially since Trump didn’t commit them, an accountant did, and not to anyone’s surprise, he or she was never charged as an accomplice, or even investigated as far as I know.

 

[Care4all]

No one asked about Biden’s confidential medical issues.

So you don't think asking if the doc lied about Biden's health, and the likes etc isn't a back handed way of trying to get the doc to talk about Biden's medical conditions?

 

[AZrailwhale]

I don't. As per usual you right-wing nut jobs go off the deep end and simply violate our laws and Constitution whenever you feel it necessary. Like it or not, the doctor has the right to keep his patient's medical history confidential. Would you want everyone to know about your ED problem?

Some of the questions he refused to answer had nothing to do with Biden’s medical records. At least one was something on the order of “did you ever notice symptoms of lack of mental acuity”. Or it might have been “did you notify anyone of Biden’s lack of mental acuity”. I only heard the question once and wasn’t paying a lot of attention to the wording.

 

[Care4all]

No one else has ever been charged with felonies for what Trump did

Fyi

Yes there have been several cases in NY, where others have been charged and convicted, with the same felony charge used in Trump's trial. It was NOT the first time the felony charge was used.

 

[Rawley]

I'm not certain on that...

On private medical issues, it is my understanding that Biden has full control of what can and can not be released. Biden or Trump etc can release some medical information like the basics and hold other crud back...it's happened with darn near every president...including Trump, when he was a hair from dying of Covid....we weren't told it was that bad, then Kennedy and his ailments, and FDR and his disability, etc....

None of that is illegal, though I agree it is stuff we would like to know and should be told...it simply is not in our power or Congress's power, to force Biden to give up his right to privacy that his doctor is obligated to honor.

There is no criminality involved, his doctor can not be forced by congress to "tell all" against his patient's will.

This is a performance by the Republican Congress Critters, a Dog and Pony show, and that is clear as day...imo.

The Critters know the Doc can't answer their questions and know he wouldn't... YET........ YET they had their hearing anyway....wasting the tax payer's dime....when they would likely get more info from those around him or maybe Jill....? Shoot, Jake Tapper got more info on Biden's condition than most all of us knew a fraction of....just by interviewing leg work....

I repeat, Biden waived the privilege when he released private memos from his doctors regarding his health.

 

[AZrailwhale]

I think asking the doctor about his conduct, is relevant and important. If the doctor was helping covering up for someone usurping presidential power, it’s important. Especially since it is now apparent that someone else was making decisions about signing documents and pardons rather than Biden according to his secretary.
