quote:

Former White House physician Kevin O'Connor's closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee ended after less than an hour on Wednesday morning, with the doctor giving investigators virtually no new insights.


quote:

"I'm going to read the first two questions that were asked. 'Were you ever told to lie about the president's health?' He pleaded the Fifth Amendment. He would not answer that question. The second question, ‘Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duty?'" House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., told reporters after the meeting.


quote:

"Again, President Biden's White House physician pled the fifth. This is unprecedented, and I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover-up."

Pleading the 5th is a pretty good insight to me.

I remember when pointing out that Biden obviously had dementia was a "conspiracy theory".

Good times.

Instead of pleading the 5th couldn't he just say doctor patient privilege?

Everyone knew it and Jake Tapper and his buddies covered it up. Then he wrote a best selling book about the media’s failure to uncover Biden’s cognitive spiral. It’s brilliant really

Why would privilege extend to third parties requesting that the doctor lie?

Probably not if any answer would incriminate him. Which by default incriminates him....

Why didn't the Dr just tell them it was Joe's speech impediment and we shouldn't criticize Joe over a stutter.

I thought I heard that if he refused to answer, he could be cited for contempt of Congress? No biggie I presume, as Eric Holder, Obama's Director of the IRS, refused to answer a Congressional inquiry, & was cited for contempt, and nothing happened.
