Biden's Corrupt Doctor and Biden, Inc. Business Partner Refuses to Testify to Congress, Citing the Fifth Amendment Right Against Self-Incrimination
No one is above the law, right?
They sent Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro to jail for refusing to cooperate. So no one is above the law, right?Biden's physician declines to cooperate in GOP probe of former president's mental fitness Kevin O'Connor, who served as Joe Biden's physician while the former president was in office, refused to testify in a closed-door interview as part of the House GOP probe into Biden's mental acuity and whether his inner circle sought to conceal his limitations from the public. O'Connor Wednesday morning asserted doctor-patient privilege and his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to a statement from his attorneys. He had repeatedly argued his duties as a doctor complicated his ability to testify under oath about his patient, preventing him from sharing some sensitive information. "On the advice of his legal counsel, Dr. O'Connor refused to answer questions that invaded the well-established legal privilege that protects confidential matters between physicians and their patients," the statement read. "His assertion of his right under the Fifth Amendment to decline to answer questions, also on the advice of his lawyers, was made necessary by the unique circumstances of this deposition.There is no physician-patient confidentiality here because Congress intended to ask questions about O'Connor's publicly-stated (perjured) reports on Biden's supposed perfect health. There is no privilege once you voluntarily make something public. Either it's private or it's public, and O'Connor made it public. There may be things that he could assert privilege about, but not about his public declarations.
The statement also cited President Donald Trump's own invocation of his Fifth Amendment right before his deposition with New York State Attorney General Letitia James, quoting Trump's suggestion that only "an absolute fool" would refuse to take the Fifth. ... O'Connor arrived on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning as required, but left less than an hour after the interview began. Before his departure, though, O'Connor's legal representation delivered a statement to committee members elaborating on their client's decision. In a copy of prepared remarks obtained by POLITICO, they said that the ongoing Justice Department investigation into the same subject raised the risk of potential incrimination -- even though they insisted it did not imply the doctor had broken the law. They also emphasized that pleading the Fifth does not imply an underlying crime was committed and in fact can be a strategy taken by innocent people to avoid being coerced into making incriminating statements. O'Connor's strategy tracks closely with decisions by more than 30 witnesses who testified before the Democrat-led committee to investigate the circumstances leading up to and surrounding the riots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Those witnesses all asserted their Fifth Amendment rights on a question-by-question basis. In those cases, the committee was unable to pierce the privilege but pointed to those invocations in its final report as a significant barrier.The media's take was that these assertions of the fifth amendment proved criminal conduct then. Now, of course, they apply a completely different rule.
Congress can grant this scumbag criminal immunity for his testimony, in which case he can no longer plead the Fifth. I hope this is what they do.
...
However, O'Connor's invocation is already providing fodder for Oversight Committee Republicans. "By pleading the fifth at his deposition today, Dr. Kevin O'Connor just confirmed what we all suspected: this was a coordinated cover-up to hide the truth about Joe Biden's condition--and who's really been running the show behind the scenes," said Rep. William Timmons (R-S.C.) posted on X. A spokesperson for Biden's office declined to comment.

I have an OT question or tiny rant. Is it me or are some people stuck in conspiracy theories? A blog I regularly visit is convinced the flooding...of a known flood plain and the sorrow that has resulted...in Texas was from cloud seeding and weather manipulation.
I may be the stupid one in thinking that if an area floods every 25yrs or 500yrs it is a flood plain. And that not every single bad thing that happens is a conspiracy.
Suppose I could join reddit, where I simply skim to laugh, and ask AITAH, which is the favorite stuff I read.
Either I am the AH or I have suddenly sprouted new brain cells and am smarter than people. Or I have common sense as well as being a former supermodel.

the CEO for the company that did some seeding said it was two days before the flooding, and that any effects would have dissipated long before the big rains.
idk much about it, but that makes sense to me. They drop the crystals (?) and they yield fairly immediate response.
Seems authorities gave much more advanced warnings for the New Mexico flash flooding, from what I saw.

What was his doctor doing to keep him going, week to week, working with Jill and Hunter to pro him up for various events, to hide his health issues/mental deficiencies?
It's one thing to be wrong during an annual exam - oops, didn't run a test I should have, didn't pick up on a minor symptom, or hey, he lied to me about how he was feeling. However, if you are tending to him on an ongoing basis, managing his prescriptions, advising his team on his capabilities/limitations, you are complicit in the fake presidency, bigly.
Posted by: Lizzy at July 09, 2025 01:27 PM (GbwPZ)
People get on social media and spout off. Other people read it and repeat it. People get emotional on the issue. It becomes ingrained in your mind. No amount of evidence that it's wrong will ever cause you to rethink your position.
It causes the citizenry to become emotional and divided on issues, even ones where there's no reasonable cause for division. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I'd say that this phenomenon is one of the main reasons that the intelligence agencies funded the creation of social media.

Yeah, I agree that it's the constantly being lied to that draws suspicion.
With the cloud seeding, it would be nice to know who's doing it, when and where. After decades of things like FBI kneejerk "not terrorism" after a jihadi attack in the US, and the covid shenanigans, it's easy to become suspicious of any immediate dismissal of concern.
I am tired on conspiracy theories, too.
Posted by: Lizzy at July 09, 2025 01:32 PM (GbwPZ)
The doctor had no choice. He may not violate a patient's privilege. The MAGTs knew this. They got what they wanted.
Exactly. We could not hear the truth about The Felon's “Ear wound” due to HIPAA. So we shouldn’t hear from Joe Biden’s doctors either. They should decline to testify.
Why should he answer? It's just a fucking witch hunt. Biden. Is. No. Longer. President. Why are they doing this? What political points could they hope to score?
They want to invalidate every piece of legislation signed into law by Biden.
Meanwhile a raving lunatic is sitting in the Oval Office destroying the U.S. government and our standing in the world while the GOP-controlled Congress fiddles
The doors that they force open cannot be closed again. This will be used against them in the future.

Agree. Social media has really done a number on people. I don't watch the news due to the angst it was causing me a decade after 9/11. I no longer worry about much of anything, which may put me as a weirdo. Nor am I glued to my phone as many are while walking, which I note in my stats as being strange.
The person who frets about conspiracy theories seems to do it a whole lot. This lady appears to be either a widow or a divorcee who ran her dude away from her fretting. If it is not the You-craine it is now cloud seeding. I have more weirdness I won't repeat due to HIPPA (ok, that is bs I just threw in).
So I am backing away from this other blog carefully and with much grace and politeness.To not set off grenades and wailing of the others. I come here instead to cuss and mock, as it is much more fun.

You can blame the fedgov, corporations, and Democrats for destroying public trust by their patent lies, evil doings like Covid, gaslighting, etc.
When one lives in a low trust society, it is very hard to figure out what is true, what is false, and who is good and who is evil.
Thus, conspiracy theories and trying to shame people for them is like trying to plug holes in the dike like the Little Dutch Boy.
It is not the gen pop to blame for these--it is those that are our 'ruling class' and their damned NewSpeak.

2) Was it the fault of Trump's rhetoric that the man shot at him?

Nearly every day for at least two decades pharmaceutical drugs have been brought by the carload to the Capitol — an arrangement so under the radar that even pharmacy lobbyists who regularly pitch Congress on their industry aren’t aware of it.

Mike Kim, the reserved pharmacist-turned-owner of the pharmacy, said he has gotten used to knowing the most sensitive details about some of the most famous people in Washington.
“At first it’s cool, and then you realize, I’m filling some drugs that are for some pretty serious health problems as well. And these are the people that are running the country,” Kim said, listing treatments for conditions like diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Overvalued imho as people and companies are figuring out that AI is not a short term profitability booster. Something like 80-85 percent of Nvidia's earnings now come from AI chips and projected demand for them in the future.
Plus, over reliance on TSMC as a foundry means Nvidia stock is very vulnerable to supply shocks if TSMC botches a transition like Intel did in the last decade.

I am sure there is cloud seeding. But when "they" (the little green people in my mind) start blaming hurricanes being manipulated... I then remember some pretty dang whoppers in the past before conspiracy theories.

His proof: DJT & Melania stepped out on the WH balcony at 1716 hours EDT. At 1717 hours, the Star Spangled Banner commenced, along with the B2 and F35 flyover. DJT's speech began at 1721 hours. The Anons and myself called it...things would begin at 1717 hours. QQ! Many other Comms were in his speech."
What a load of crap. Someone looked at the official, published schedule and made some guesses about when the event would actually start, throwing in some 17s. I've no idea what the significance of 17 should be.
Even so, they artificially attached the "beginning" to the Star Spangled Banner. Why then? Why not when Trump and Melania stepped onto the balcony? Because that's not when they predicted things would start, of course. So stupid.

The cloud seeding is a bit silly. But it is true that most development in the last 100 years or so tends to exacerbate flooding. Wide areas are paved so runoff is instant, swamps are not allowed to flood to form a buffer 'cache' for water to slowly drain or pool. But little is done to find a replacement for the natural system. My neighborhood growing up had a stream that they turned into a narrow gorge as they put parks on either side due to development. One thunderstorm moved along the course of the stream and filled the gorge to within a foot of the top and our house was a little below the crown. The flood went over the top of the road and formed a dam and flooded a schoolyard.

The doc apparently appeared, at least for the closed-door part of the process, the deposition, right?
Invocation of doctor/patient confidentiality would cover a lot, but not, as you point out, any public statements.
So the hook for contempt of Congress here would be what exactly? If he appeared in the open session, took the 5th and cited doctor/patient for some things, he'd be in the clear? Of course if he couldn't dodge inquiry about his public statements, that would be the point, right?

Those records are produced specifically with use in court in mind.
=====
It’s dependent on how the order/request is written. They can get the actual records if they request them as recorded during the course of care. If they request an abstract, then someone inside the organization reviews the records and writes a summary - that’s when things can be “edited.”
However, an organization can refuse to prepare an abstract and just send the actual records.
I did this for 25 years. My lazy ass boss got tired of writing abstracts and consulted with our attorneys who advised her we could just send the records. Abstracts are usually requested because the requested doesn’t want to pour over voluminous pages or they don’t want to pay a clinician to review the same.

If you get a large enough number of humans, you can produce some sort of probability rules that apply to masses but it is a ecological fallacy to then apply that with any certainty to the behavior of specific individuals.
Level of analysis problem and why a lot of 'rationalism' and 'rationalist' thought should always be regarded as suspect when applied to human behavior.
Social science is less about certainty and more about track odds for some event or behavior.

With granted immunity by Congress, whether transactional or absolute, he can be compelled to testify or be held in contempt--civil or criminal . I could be wrong but I also think that doctor patient privilege might not apply to Congress as an investigatory matter.
That privilege is created by law, not the Constitution, and thus has limits prescribed by laws which in this case would be written by Congress itself.

Sex is a powerful motivator for human behavior, and people you have kompromat on are easier to control. People don't generally want to give you kompromat on them though, and in our degraded culture you have to go very low to get it - would anyone much care if our elites were having sex with willing adults?
So then the question becomes is it more likely someone could run an operation like Epstein's independently for decades, or that they would need the protection of a government.
And is it more likely a no one with no money like Epstein could get this ball rolling on his own...or with the aid of a government with substantial resources?

Similar flooding in the area of Camp Mystic in 1987, so I read. It happens. Which is why one does not build a house in a flood plain (our house rules). Huge dumps of water, while rare, open it up again. As we saw in NC last fall. That I thought was super weird until I read it happens after hurricanes. Rare, thankfully.

As a matter of law, I don't think that doctor-client privilege even applies to congressional investigations. It certainly does not as far as public reports.
Privilege is a creature of statutory law (and common law which does not officially exist after the Erie doctrine for federal courts). It is not constitutional in nature like the 5th is. FWIW, the congressional power to investigate is held to be an inherent power of legislative bodies dating back to the fights between Parliament and the King. So Congress has a constitutional power to investigate for wrongdoing in other branches, for lawmaking purposes, and for policy setting.
The Trump Jan 6 subpoenas cases involving Pelosi's Congress reemphasized Congressional power to investigate and override statutory privacy even in the case of tax returns.

Conversely killing Lincoln brought people to power that wanted to, and did, go way beyond Lincoln's plans for the south.

We had an elderly pooch which benefited greatly from a drug which treated joint inflammation. She went from having trouble moving from point a to point b to being able to get around quite well. Granted, she had to have regular blood tests to make sure something didn't go wrong with her kidneys but, she was old enough the trade off was worth it. However, we lost her to a stroke long before kidney failure was an issue. She did well,though as she was pure bred Golden who lived until she was 15 or so.

When I was growing up in the Phoenix area, for some reason I wanted to dig a hole, and I got my dad's pickaxe out and tried to dig one in this bare dirt part of the yard. I remember that after about 30 minutes of work, I had finally beaten a hole 12" deep in it - that's when I gave up. Would have needed a jackhammer.

Do you have a Nintendo 64 or GameCube? If so, check out the first 2 Paper Mario games. Even the 3rd one for Wii was good, albeit a bit darker themed. The ones after that were not as good. Might be fun for you and your kids. My boys and I played through them both several times when they were youngsters.

The weapons, if they still have S/Ns, are potentially traceable. As for the other items, if they used a credit/debit card to buy them that is an easy A. These people don't strike me as masterminds. Unlike the 1990s eco-terrorists which used individual "direct action" tactics the SOBs are forming quasi-military squads. This is a very Antifa approach and implies there is, at a minimum, a flat ad-hoc infrastructure behind all this. After the Summer of Love there were a number of new reports that Antifa type peeps were actively acquiring firearms and training to use them. To some degree we are now seeing the fruit of all that.

My guess would be that the change plain air to rain droplets all at once imbalanced the storm and changed the interaction between the storm and the air. Kind of like if you were pushing a box with 2 hands and magically all the weight in it went to the left side. Its gonna lurch off to one side until things rebalance.

Happened once when I lived in Chicago, a thunderstorm got stalled by the lake and just rained in one spot until it dissipated. Think it was 17 inches of rain. Since Chicago was so flat, any depression was flooded. Made it to work the next morning but had to divert around any underpasses since they were about 10 foot deep. At the industrial suite I was consulting at there were ornamental ponds and the last building where I worked had the road flooded to it, but the grass verge was out of the water, so I parked in another lot. I was the only one there besides the owner, so eventually got sent home.

There was an old mayor of some town during the asbestos panic that was told he'd have to pay x zillion dollars to clear some asbestos in their school or else everyone would die. He just went in and did it himself since he was in his 80s and possible cancer in 20 years didn't scare him.

Don't know about the actual area of the floods but at a nearby animal sanctuary that had their road going in washed out and had some streamers come in and get a temporary patch road in there are wooded strips where you have streams or ponds. At the sanctuary they found someone unknown had capped one of the culverts to trap water on their road so it went over the top and washed all but a footpath off.
