Dr. Kevin O’Connor appeared before the House Oversight Committee, but he had little to say about the investigation into the alleged cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental and physical decline. The former White House physician invoked his privilege against self-incrimination in refusing to answer any questions. His prescription for the Committee seems clear: take a Fifth and call me in the morning (with an immunity grant). The question is now whether Congress will move to compel his testimony.
O’Connor appeared with counsel and repeatedly read the same line: “On the advice of counsel, I must respectfully decline to answer based on the physician patient privilege and the reliance on my right under the Fifth Amendment.”
GOP members were quick to quote Rep. Dan Goldman (D., N.Y.) who declared that “you don’t take the Fifth if you didn’t do anything wrong.”
The development adds another interesting dimension to the controversy over the alleged cover-up of Biden’s decline.
Dr. O’Connor insists that he cannot compromise a patient’s privacy under federal law and ethical guidelines. However, his client was the president of the United States, and Congress is investigating allegations that he was no longer competent or engaged in running the nation. That raises potential criminal conduct from falsification of documents to perjury that an oversight committee is pursuing.
Generally, courts have waived confidentiality protections for reporters, doctors, and lawyers under a crime or fraud exception in federal criminal cases. A good example is the testimony of the psychiatrist in the Menendez brothers’ murder case.
Dr. O’Connor is an essential witness in that investigation. President Biden has clearly not given him the authority to fully disclose the medical records and testing results from his presidency. The question could become whether Congress can now compel such disclosures. Both Biden and O’Connor could go to court to seek to prevent such compulsion.
Congress often examines private information, including tax records and background investigations, as part of its oversight functions. Moreover, many past investigations would have been obstructed by sweeping privacy claims. Consider the Kennedy assassination investigation into the examinations of the president or confirmation fights over allegations of mental or physical disabilities of nominees.
Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), subpoenas are regularly used to obtain otherwise protected medical information. The law specifically allows for disclosures in criminal or fraud investigations.
Moreover, many questions would not trip such wires, including the question that he was asked about whether anyone asked him to falsify medical records.
Congress has a compelling basis for demanding disclosure. However, the question is time. With the approaching midterm elections, the runway is getting shorter for the Oversight Committee. If the Democrats retake the House, these investigations will be halted, as Democratic members have pledged to resume impeachment investigations targeting President Trump.
The House Oversight Committee could grant Dr. O’Connor immunity and compel his testimony. He would then have to either secure a court order of protection or face a contempt of Congress charge for refusing to testify. If he elected to testify, he would still be subject to potential charges for any false statements made to investigators or committee members.
There is sufficient time to compel such testimony, but the Committee will have to move with some dispatch if it wants to hear more from the doctor.

Trump invoked the 5th Amendment over 400 times during a deposition as part of a civil fraud investigation by the New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The inevitable Democrat Cheap Fake fraudulent moral equivalency – this doctor is just being hunted by vicious police state fascist senators, who exactly like New York AG Letitia James. got elected by promising voters they would abuse the powers of their office to take out a political opponent
All the same, Hmmmmm???? The perfect impartial and honest moral equivalency comparison?
BTW, any of you Democrat police state fascists notice that two of your three Democrat police state fascists that got elected on promising voters they would “get Trump” if elected, are facing indictment on felonies that will put them in jail cells they were promising you they would put Trump in?

Twelve frauds. Two states. Four decades. Over $10 million secured through deception. One criminal enterprise. New York Attorney General Letitia James built her career prosecuting property fraud, declaring that “no one is above the law” while securing a $355 million judgment against Donald Trump. Now federal investigators are examining her own four-decade pattern of mortgage felonies—conduct that yielded over $300,000 in fraudulent financial benefits.

Under his capacity as White House physician, Dr O’Connor stood up before the American people and declared President Biden was fit to serve. He lied. It is his professional dishonesty, as part of the collusion to keep an incapacitated president in the White House, that is at issue here, to my understanding.
Compell his testimony. Patient-client confidentiality does not extend to lying in one’s professional capacity. If he was not allowed to disclose information in answer to the question if Biden was fit to serve, then he should have declined to answer due to patient-client confidentiality back then, in front of reporters, during Biden’s tenure as POTUS.
This collusion makes Watergate seem like a playground dispute.
Points Ms Karen
We have many problems with many causes, but is there one root cause? That was a question I posed in a discussion group 13 years ago. And after 1 year and over 1000 comments, we came up with 3: Voter ignorance, Voter apathy and a Lack of self-reliance. 13 years later on this blog, I believe that group misdiagnosed the problem in one critical way. Those root causes are symptoms of a cancer that been allowed to spread into every vital organ of our country since this great experiment began. At this point, even if every voter could ace a civics exam, became active in how this country is governed and were self-reliant, we’d still have cancer. So here’s a a couple of questions: How are we ever to get rid of this cancer by providing constitutional protections such as the 5th amendment? Does it make any sense to provide immunity to the very cancer that is killing us.
How are we ever to get rid of this cancer by providing constitutional protections such as the 5th amendment?
We can not get rid of anything, never mind a societal “cancer”. You already know my answer and I will only reference the greatest intellect the world has ever known that address your question:
Without metaphysical freedom, the universe is just a divine puppet show. If there is to be any real creaturely goodness, any new and creative act of love, rather than the merely mechanical uncoiling of a wind-up universe, if there are to be any real decisions other than those made in the divine will, then there must be metaphysical freedom, and such freedom brings with it the possibility of evil as well as the promise of goodness.
– St Augustine of Hippo, On Free Choice of the Will (De Libero Arbitrio)
My personal favorite quote from St Augustine:
Great are You, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Your power, and of Your wisdom there is no end. And man, being a part of Your creation, desires to praise You — man, who bears about with him his mortality, the witness of his sin, even the witness that You resist the proud, — yet man, this part of Your creation, desires to praise You. You move us to delight in praising You; for You have made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You. [cor nostrum inquietum est donec requiescat in Te] Lord, teach me to know and understand which of these should be first: to call on You, or to praise You; and likewise to know You, or to call on You. But who calls upon You without knowing You? For he that knows You not may call upon You as other than You are. Or perhaps we call on You that we may know You. But how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? Or how shall they believe without a preacher? Romans 10:14 And those who seek the Lord shall praise Him. For those who seek shall find Him, Matthew 7:7 and those who find Him shall praise Him. Let me seek You, Lord, in calling on You, and call on You in believing in You; for You have been preached unto us. O Lord, my faith calls on You — that faith which You have imparted to me, which You have breathed into me through the incarnation of Your Son, through the ministry of Your preacher.

We can not get rid of anything, never mind a societal “cancer”.
Dr. Estovir, I’m surprised by your prognosis. I hope Med school is teaching more than the wisdom of St. Augustine. I’m sorry to inform you that you have cancer. However here’s some Good News that will save your soul.
You chose cancer as your model. I said nothing all day on your choice of models but now I will (and once again disappoint you)
Cancer cures as a whole have not improved significantly in over 40 years. Thus, you chose a model that has been flatline with respect to treatment cures. Cancer deaths have decreased significantly only because of screenings. The toxic chemos used back in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s, were largely disappointing generally speaking. Recent “breakthrough” treatments have been fair. You chose cancer as a model thinking cancer is beaten with treatment. That is not the case, hence the body politic is essentially on the same trajectory as pancreatic cancer, etc – not good
Estimation of Cancer Deaths Averted From Prevention, Screening, and Treatment Efforts, 1975-2020
Conclusions and Relevance Over the past 45 years, cancer prevention and screening accounted for most cancer deaths averted for these causes; however, their contribution varied by cancer site according to these models using population-level cancer mortality data. Despite progress, efforts to reduce the US cancer burden will require increased dissemination of effective interventions and new technologies and discoveries.
Goddard, K.A., et al. (2025). Estimation of cancer deaths averted from prevention, screening, and treatment efforts, 1975-2020. JAMA oncology, 11(2), pp.162-167.
Same goes for coronary artery disease. CAD is the number 1 killer globally, surpassing cancer. In spite of screenings, oceans of patient literature on prevention, and literally flooding the global markets with statins (which are largely generic, dirt cheap), CAD rates are worse than ever. Atherosclerotic diseases such as ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke are presently the leading global causes of cardiovascular (CV) mortality and are expected to continue to be the leading causes of CV mortality in 2050 (Chong, B., et al., 2024).
The best recipe for a long and healthy life is what you already know and what most Americans reject.
Americans are now rejecting reason, moral codes and God. Expect the same results that the Roman Empire got when they rejected the same
Chong, B., et al. (2024) Global burden of cardiovascular diseases: projections from 2025 to 2050. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, p.zwae281.
Next time use another model other than cancer. Maybe dandruff or tooth decay
Estovir
Your pedantic religious ravings and ramblings and childish insults grow more tiresome by the day.
Instead of slinging childish insults, I suggest you strive to “be a man”.
Do you have an argument ?
Estovir made an argument – you have merely insulted one.
I’ll give it to Augustine on the first part as purpose. True purpose.
Jonathan: There is probably another reason you and Jim Comer want to go after the previous administration. It would serve as a distraction from what is going on in the DJT WH–total chaos and evidence that the Orange Man has lost his marbles.
It’s pretty clear DJT has no interest in the day to day activities of his government. WH staff say every big issue now goes through Steven Miller. He overseas ICE and their daily immigration raids and who gets appointed to various positions. There is hardly anything Miller doesn’t oversea. He is the real power behind the throne. If you cross Miller you will be shown the door. DJT likes it that way because he would rather play golf every weekend and let someone else do the dirty work so they will be blamed when things go wrong.
How do we know DJT has lost touch with reality? Take his insane on and off again tariffs. Despite all the evidence to the contrary DJT still thinks other countries pay his tariffs. The actual reality is that US importers pay the tariffs and then pass that cost on to their American consumers. DJT is incapable of comprehending how tariffs actually work.
In another example that DJT is out of touch with reality he had a presser yesterday in the WH to welcome the leaders of many African states. DJT always tries to show off his “diplomatic skills” at these events. But they are really only performative so DJT can have another photo op. DJT doesn’t really care about Africa. He once referred to the continent as a collection of “s***hole countries.”
At the news conference yesterday the African leaders showed how they can play DJT. Senegalese President Bassirou praised and mocked DJT at the same time, saying: “I know you are a tremendous golf player. Golf requires concentration and precision, qualities that also make a great leader. So, perhaps an investment could be made in a golf course in Senegal…that would be an opportunity for you to show off your skills…” DJT didn’t notice he was being played after all the flattery thrown his way.
Then there was the interchange between DJT and the President of Liberia, Joseph Boakai, who spoke impeccable English. Not knowing the history of Liberia or that of any other country DJT complimented Boakai and remarked: “Thank you, and such good English. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”. Another major gaffe. If DJT had bothered to check ahead of time he would have found that English is the official language of Liberia. That’s because the country was founded after US slaveholders decided they wanted to get rid of freed slaves by sending them back to Africa as part of the racist plan organized by the American Colonization Society.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett described DJT’s meeting with the African leaders this way: “Trump never misses an opportunity to be racist and wrong, and every day finds a new way to be embarrassing. Asking the President of Liberia where he learned English when it’s literally the official language is peak ignorance. I’m pretty sure being blatantly offensive is not how you go about conducting diplomacy”. And Rep. Crockett was being kind!
More garbage as usual from the loser “Dennis”. Don’t any of you pathetic trolls have an actual life?
The minute you mention Jasmine C. as someone who can be taken seriously, you really lost me. Jasmine Crockett? Really? She is bizarre and shallow.
It is going to be a long, long 3.5 years.
Regarding tariffs, then Europe and other countries shouldn’t be charging them on our products. Oh, that might be why American products are not readily available to consumers around the world. That is the whole point.
Are you not hoping American made products will be sold here and abroad? Are you betting against America just because of the 47th President? You would rather see an economic downturn if it can only hurt President Trump?
Of course. It’s like hornets. Be polite.
Move someplace where it’s really cold.
I just want to remind everyone that Dennis Mcinliar is the draft dodger who bragged about his plan to avoid combat by using a personal contact.
He claimed it was his patriotic duty to avoid combat, as “anyone would do”.
The zero sum nature of his ploy did not matter to him, as some poor, black American was sent to fight in his stead.
Now he thinks he can somehow redeem his worthless life of privilege by virtue signaling for the very people he once fvcked over.
Lin posted: To my memory, federal rules don’t even contain a physician-patient privilege, but I do not know the parameters under HIPAA or whether certain contractual terms affect a physician to the president.
1. The DC Court of Appeals has ruled previously that physicians can’t hide what they did (and failed to do) under “doctor/patient confidentiality” – they can only do that if appearing in a court of law.
2. The AMA has already written in their Code Of Ethics that “doctor/patient confidentiality” is overwritten by a subpoena: Medical Ethics Opinion 9.7.1
3. Biden’s beard, this Democrat quack and Hunter Biden business associate, has spent the past FOUR YEARS VOLUNTARILY AND REPEATEDLY speaking in PUBLIC about his patient’s medical condition, diseases, and medical history. “doctor/patient confidentiality” is not like a light switch, you turn it off and on depending whether doing so serves your intentions.
Anon, that’s a very sane post.
Anonymous @3:58: Not quite sure if you are agreeing w/or differentiating from my comment, but may I respectfully add that the AMA Code of Medical Ethics generally does NOT carry the force of law, as deemed by several jurisdictions, see e.g., including opinion from Ch. J. Minton for the Kentucky Supreme Court (Caldwell v. Chauvin, 2015).
p.s. and my statement that you quote still stands. It does not appear to conflict with your additions? thx

That’s why you plead the 5th Amendment – you know your medical subterfuge exemption will fail to protect you from your business enrichment coming from Biden business ventures.
Unless you’re being questioned by a political police state fascist – one who was elected by vowing to their party’s voters that if elected they would abuse their office to “get” their enemy i.e. like what Trump faced from the now about to be indicted NY AG, Letitia James?
These senators questioning this Biden business associate quack got elected by promising that they would also abuse their office to “get” Biden’s doctor if they were elected? Just like NY AG Letitia James promised to do to Trump and delivered on that promise?
Maybe you claim the protection of the 5th Amendment NOT because you’re facing questions from police state fascists who got elected on promises to “get you” – but because you’re a business associate getting paid dividends by the senior partner in Biden White House Crime, LLC.

To Darren:
Please if possible remove my comment at 1:48 et seq as I now see one media source which states that Jill Biden was not with Joe for his physical exam. This renders my musing comment moot and I apologize for using up good space. thanks
Do’t believe a word of that. Joe Biden gets lost on stage. .. If Jill didn’t help Joe to the doctor, how would he have found his way there?
Joe and Jill went up the hill,

So according to the Trump admin we have to deport all migrants because they’re all criminals for coming into the country and it’s a national emergency, but it is also crucial not to deport them if they are farm workers because “food security is national security.”
You’re attempt to turn this into a gotcha is as sad and pathetic as you are. Next time you manage to install a vegetable figurehead as president, don’t let millions of unvetted people into the country illegally, and you wouldn’t have this problem in the first place.
*. Who’s the sec of agriculture? Imports are contaminated with pollutants including lead that lowers intelligence and radioactivity and vile things. The hellovit is they don’t grow anything here except exports while we get the imported krud. Why? Money.
So according to the Trump admin we have to deport all migrants because they’re all criminals
So according to the former Oval Office House Plant’s administration apparatchiks – these criminal Illegal Aliens are NOT criminals. They have violated NO laws, and are merely “migrants”
Migrant farm workers securing our “food security” with the 40,000+ “migrants” in New York City picking our lettuce growing on the streets and sidewalks of New York. What farm do all those non-criminal drug cartel “migrants” from Venezuela, MS-13, etc work on picking our lettuce?
Nothing To See Here, Please Believe Us, Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes™
To my memory, federal rules don’t even contain a physician-patient privilege, but I do not know the parameters under HIPAA or whether certain contractual terms affect a physician to the president.
In any event, you know, I was just thinking about how “Dr.” Jill likes to make sure that she is v.e.r.y. present/alongside Joe.
I’m curious if she were with Joe during his physical examination?
That could represent a “presence-of-third-person” waiver/breach of physician-patient privilege? (often even involving spouses or parents).
-and SHE could be forced to testify as to the conduct and entire scope of the examination (or lack thereof); what transpired; all communications (within hearsay exceptions); -as well as post-examination communications between her and Dr. O’Connor (who is “available” to testify if he wishes, -as is Joe).
It’s a Catch-22. If she claims P-P privilege along with Joe, claiming her presence was absolutely essential because of his independent ability to understand doctor’s communications, or his compromised cognizance or mental acuity, etc., -well, there you have it. That would defeat the doctor’s “green light” assessment.
Otherwise, she is simply a present third person, thus waiver/breach of any physician-patient privilege.
(Nor is an independent “spousal privilege” likely applicable here, as the focus of her testimony is not against her husband but rather hostile to the doctor.)
But…..Would her testimony be reliable for truthfulness and lack of bias? Or just a waste-of-time litany of “I don’t recall(s).”
(“because of his [lack of] independent ability to understand doctor’s communications,”
According to AI, “Based on available information, Jill Biden did not accompany Joe Biden to Walter Reed for his most recent physical examination in February 2024.”
Oh for crissake, did you know of JFKs adrenal glands or FDRs wheelchair? This place is nothing but trespass. Where’s the time of decency and honesty.

Any offense to your incredible sense of decency, that a completely incompetent dementia patient underwent elder abuse to serve as Democrat President AutoPen, green-lighted by this quack – which also left this country’s defense and our nuclear football in the hands of this dementia patient and his most trusted advisor, his crackhead son?
Do you have a deeply held Democrat offense to your sense of decency, that her GP concealed the fact her pap smear proved she was too mentally incompetent to be left in charge of the nuclear football?
Or instead, a deeply held Democrat fear, offending your sense of decency, that Tulsi Gabbard’s GP would be revealed to be enriching himself from his business associations with Gabbard while she was in office?
Just like Biden’s quack was cashing in on business associations with Biden?

Jonathan: You and Jim Comer are off on another new witch hunt. This time going after Biden’s doctor. It’s a theory in search of a crime–that somehow Dr. O’Connor is allegedly hiding medical evidence of Biden mental and physical decline. So what? Who really cares at this point? Biden has been out of office for 6 months.
If Comer’s last year long effort to get Biden is any indication this one too will be a waste of taxpayer money and an abject failure. Do you really want to go down that rabbit hole again?
Speaking of rabbit holes. Can you believe the media is dwelling on the Epstein files again. With all this success going on.. . that’s unbelievable.
If there is no traffic, there can be no trafficking. Case closed.
Do we really want to waste the time on Epstein’s silly ‘foreign intelligence entanglements’ . .. clearly, Biden never wanted to go down that rabbit hole?
*clearly, the Putin-Trump nonsense has not panned out. ..
We had a mentally incapacitated vegetable as the president of the United States for four freaking years. Who knows if what was done in his name was legal or illegal. Someone is going to be held to account for the disaster of the failed Biden presidency. We’re not just going to let this slide, people are going to jail, and that’s because there were actual crimes committed. We’re going to be cleaning up your messes for literally decades to come.
Six months after he left office, screw you loser, the Democrats were using illegal lawfare on anyone in the Trump universe for FOUR YEARS after he left office.
Comer was dead on correct in his investigations, and you as usual were dead on wrong. The pardons prove it: the Bidens are simply criminals. A bunch of loser grifters, parasites on the American political system. Some freaking legacy you have there.
THEN CHARGE HIS CABINET AND VP. Then review med records if you can.
Who cares? Certainly not Democrats.
Everyone should care as all systems are down.
Dennis attempted this: So what? Who really cares at this point?
Everybody who isn’t one of you Bolshevik Biden Birthing Boyz wants to know what corruption is being hidden beyond this quack AND The First Felon Son. It’s not that hard

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP – STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH
“THIS WILL NOT INCLUDE FOREIGNERS”
_____________________________________________
1866 – SENATOR JACOB M. HOWARD (MI) – AUTHOR OF THE CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE
Mr. HOWARD: I now move to take up House joint resolution No. 127.
The motion was agreed to; and the Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, resumed the consideration of the joint resolution (H.R. No. 127) proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
The first amendment is to section one, declaring that all “persons born in the United States and Subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the States wherein they reside. I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.[1]
“If the United States does not have complete jurisdiction, for example, to compel a child’s parents to Jury Duty – then the U.S. does not have the total, complete jurisdiction demanded by the Fourteenth Amendment to make their child a citizen of the United States by birth.”

https://www.14thamendment.us/articles/anchor_babies_unconstitutionality.html
Every illegal alien who was illicitly and unconstitutionally granted citizenship after being born in the U.S. to an illegal alien mother was and remains an illegal alien who must be deported.
What of amnesty?
He turned every potentially born baby into a class. Besides the point that it is grandstanding and atrocious to the highest order, it’s strange how they suddenly don’t identify them as merely a clump of cells, when it suits them, no?
-Rabble
My question is why has the care provided to President Biden by Dr. O’Connor (and the question of his complicity in a “coverup”) not been evaluated by the D.C. Board of Medicine, and by any other state board of medicine where he is licensed and where he has provided medical care to President Biden (like Delaware, probably Maryland, and maybe Massachusetts if he cared for Biden during his trips to Nantucket). In many states and jurisdictions that provide medical licensure, anonymous tips of physician negligence or impropriety to the medical board are required to be investigated and publicly reported. Taking the Fifth does not help a physician in a medical board investigation, and HIPAA constraints on confidentiality do not apply.
Good point, especially in light of Joe Biden’s team announcing he has late stage Prostate cancer, after only last year saying he was healthy. Did he have a cancer diagnosis while president, or was he denied basic prostate exams?
That’s sensible Vicente
Come On! No matter Who:
There are *NO CONSEQUENCES* in D.C. Land.
[George – ‘THE LIST‘ please]
Yep, did anyone really need a medical report?
Everyone knew that failed president Biden was a vegetable. It’s just that him being a vegetable suited the needs of the truly awful people in that failed administration.
Are you kidding me.

Affirmative action, tokenism and eliminating, reducing standards.
I’m no expert. However the question whether he was asked to lie about his findings does not seem to qualify for either the physician/patient privilege nor Fifth Amendment treatment.
Not every statement from a patient to his physician, or from the doctor to his patient, is protected by the privilege, only those required for or related to the patient’s care and treatment. For example if a patient is being treated for injuries sustained in an auto accident, the patient mentioning to his doctor that he had run a red light would not likely be covered by the privilege, for it is unrelated to medical issues. Being asked to lie is not related to the patient’s care and treatment and should likewise not be subject to the privilege.
Similarly, if the good doctor was asked to lie about his patient’s condition, merely hearing such a request is not a crime. Accordingly the Fifth Amendment privilege should be irrelevant. The result might be different if he was asked if he had lied.
Biden’s physician was also his personal friend and business associate. Observations in these latter scenarios would not be covered by HIPAA.
Conflict of interest, anyone?
I’m no expert. However the question whether he was asked to lie about his findings does not seem to qualify for either the physician/patient privilege nor Fifth Amendment treatment.
1. The DC Court of Appeals has ruled previously that physicians can’t hide what they did and failed to do under “doctor/patient confidentiality” – only if in a court of law.
2. The AMA has already written in their Code Of Ethics that “doctor/patient confidentiality” is overwritten by a subpoena: Medical Ethics Opinion 9.7.1
3. Biden’s beard, this Democrat quack and Hunter Biden business associate, has spent the past FOUR YEARS VOLUNTARILY AND REPEATEDLY speaking about his patient’s medical condition, diseases, and medical history in public settings. “doctor/patient confidentiality” is not like a light switch, you turn it off and on depending whether doing so serves your intentions.
That’s why you plead the 5th Amendment – you know your medical subterfuge exemption will fail to protect you from your business enrichment coming from Biden business ventures.
Dr O’Connor was shooting up Uncle Joe with 500ml of Thorazine.
Thorazine is used to treat conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe behavioral problems.
😂, Yes, Anon, or kettamine? He was drugged. Is?
“Yes, Anon, or kettamine?”
No! I am Dr. Frederick Von Hellzing. Would you please make your self available for some tests? It won’t take long & there is no pain.
I haven’t seen that one. Robo cop II. 😒 I know it’s a movie but some don’t.
More likely, prescribing Aricept or Namenda.
*. I do think Biden was drugged and John McCain running against Buraq and Charles and Kate were poisoned , Virginia Geiferee poisoned and many others.
There are people dealing in death not for money, not for power but for cruelty and suffering and voyeuristic reasons. It’s BAD writ large.
You’re hilarious if it weren’t so tragically true!
I just hope that this doesn’t become another “Kennedy Assassination” phenomenon where conspiracy theories abound but no facts ever get revealed. If the dems ever get control of government they will put a 2 century ban on investigating any of this because they all know all about the election and administration of the autopen president.
I am curious to know who’s been running the country behind the scenes. Is it one person, like Obama, or a clandestine oligarchy?
If this had been Trump, there would be riots and global outcry.
