Bornstein said he felt raped when the Con's body guard and lawyer raided

his office and took his medical files.
The clip is a riot - the Con did not want anyone to know about his hair medication.

By the way Bornstein expected to be the WH doctor - must have been promised the position the way Jackson thought he was heading to the VA.

Good grief this is a never-ending soap opera of sub-mediocre actors.

the doctor had no business talking about what he was prescribing for a patient, whether there's a precedent or not. That's not what we expect from a doctor.

And apparently he did not file a complaint at the time, so why bring it up now.

to discuss his treatment, then it's a different ball game. I didn't know he had.

"This is like a celebration for me," he said.

Jackson has denied improperly prescribing drugs.

Bornstein, 70, had been Trump's personal doctor for more than 35 years.


Those three lines OMG

the release of the medical records or evidence of a Power of Attorney authorizing on of the bozos to act on Trump's behalf I would have told them to leave and not return until they had the proper documents with them. One call to the police would have resulted in either the bozos leaving or being arrested for trespassing.

Hopefully if the staff gave enough warning, you could grab your cell phone and start an audio recording of what is about to transpire.

Of course with this being Trump, I would have already made sure that I had a duplicate of the file and secured it in a safe place.

are also good idea. There must be a year or so statute of limitations on stealing medical records from MD's.

At the very least this story needs to be getting lots of media coverage.
