Rep. Byron Donalds: Possible leak of UFO whistleblower’s medical records is ‘concerning’ | CUOMO - NewsNation


Edits:

Representative Tim Burchett Responds

Trying to discredit a decorated veteran like David Grusch shows the desperation of the group trying to hide the truth. They will fail.

Representative Jared Moskowitz Responds

In a way this only adds to David’s credibility. Why leak something if this is all made up. You do this because he might be on to something.

This is quite distasteful and could potentially constitute a HIPAA violation. I suspect this could backfire.

Man, if there's one thing I've learned from working in a hospital, it's that you DO NOT fuck with HIPAA. It takes months for HR to respond to your email about exposed wiring affecting patient safety but if you accidentally take a sticker home with a patient's birthday on it you'll be escorted off the campus tomorrow morning. Maybe the stakes are different in this scenario, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone high up gets in serious trouble here.

I have to take yearly HIPAA certification courses, so I completely understand.

I think it's important to note, though, that his medical data didn't get leaked. It turned out the reporter got a tip from inside the Intelligence community or Department of Defense and told him what and where to FOIA. What was released was a police report. I don't believe any laws were broken in this case. It was just a smear job to try to bring up dirt on a vet who was suffering from PTSD at the time.
