HIPPA has kind of fallen by the wayside in Authoritarian Texas. And now they’re trying to steal elections through county majorities since gerrymandering is no longer enough for how many of us hate them. I’d say fight it to SCOTUS but ya know…

This MF. Nothing bends me more than some deranged MD violating every ethical standard in medicine for no good reason & doing so much harm. No punishment is harsh enough, and the AMA should be right there with the DOJ

If you haven't been following this case, I regret to inform you that Haim's cause has been championed by Tucker Carlson, Dan Crenshaw, and Bari Weiss's Free Press (in an article written by Emily Yoffe), and Haim has crowdfunded $620,000 thus far to support his legal defense

Would this turn any attempted future prosecution that contains information that was in these records, or if prosecution has been attempted, subject to fruit of the poisoned tree? And does fruit of the poisonous tree apply to legislation based on that material?

Does Rufo's receiving these records he's not entitled to have or conspiring to have them stolen and given to him also constitute an offense that Rufo could be charged for? And, if so, does anyone have a likelihood? Or is he just going to become an "unindicted co-conspirator #1?"

It's outrageous that this is even possible. No doctor I know would ever do such a thing: breaking their vows to "do no harm." This doctor at the Texas Children's Hospital should be fired.
