  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The DOJ argued Wednesday that Dr. Eithan Haim’s discussion of his case on X created “a substantial likelihood of prejudicing the Government, further tainting the jury pool, and impeding the Court’s ability to hold a fair trial.” Prosecutors cited posts Haim made highlighting the judge’s heavy criticism of the government’s conduct during a hearing last week.
Where was the concern about tainting the jury pool for the Trump cases?

As I recall, Trump was admonished abd eventually given a gag order because he did the same thing the indicted doctor did. NY trial.
In other words, Trump unsuccessfully tried jury tainting himself.

From the link:

During a Friday hearing, Judge David Hittner, a Reagan appointee, pressed prosecutors on why they included a word in their indictment that wasn’t in the original statute, according to the transcript.​
Uh Huh - if it doesn't say what you need it to say - just add the words.

Haim provided documentation to journalist Christopher Rufo in 2023 demonstrating Texas Children’s Hospital was continuing to perform sex change procedures on minors after publicly stating the program had been shut down. Rufo has stated none of the documents Haim provided included information identifying any individual.​
U.S. Attorney Tina Ansari, a federal prosecutor pursuing the case against Haim, also filed documents while her law license was suspended in September. She was placed on administrative suspension for failing to pay her dues, which she paid after the defense highlighted her status in a filing.​

DOJ drops case against Texas doctor who shared transgender care data

Eithan Haim was accused of leaking health records of patients at Texas Children’s Hospital. Haim, who calls himself a whistleblower, had pleaded not guilty.

Though he had finished his last rotation at the hospital in 2021, he attempted to reactivate his login over the course of several months before gaining access in 2023 to information on pediatric patients not under his care, “under the false pretenses that he needed to urgently attend to adult care services,” the indictment said, adding that he then turned over the information to his media contact.
