Anyone work at George Washington University Hospital?
The American People deserve to know if #MoscowMitch is alive or d3ad. Spill the tea.

1. And violate HIPAA?

[CBHagman]

2. Exactly.

And the post referenced is appalling on so many levels.

11. It's given me the vapors it's so appealing, I mean, appalling.

4. Truly not possible unless a court demands proof of life

McConnel is/was a tremendously important person. His holding a senate office places demands that the public in Kentucky be honestly appraised of his capacity to perform his office.

3. So, violate HIPAA, lose their job and license to practice?

The inability of the populace to endure uncertainty and the shortening of both attention spans and patience is evidence of the increasing immaturity of the human race.

At some point it will just be a morass of infantile Id’s impulsively acting and reacting to whatever stimulus enters their awareness.

5. As of now, Mitch is Schroedinger's Senator.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see whether he leaves the hospital in a wheelchair or a zipper bag.

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. Either way, he's not voting, and that's a good thing

Whether he’s dead or not doesn’t really matter at the moment.

9. Wrong

“The inability of the populace to endure uncertainty and the shortening of both attention spans and patience is evidence of” the American publics absolute disgust with politicians lies and obfuscation. I don’t think it’s too much to ask if one of the 100 most powerful lawmakers in the country is dead - or brain dead. Now they have senators and talking heads claiming that they’ve had extensive conversations with McConnell. That strains credulity, to put it mildly. Just tell us the truth.

[harumph]

12. 100% The people have a compelling interest in this.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Of course they do have a compelling interest.

With all due respect to those still living in the “my honorable friend across the aisle” era of politics in the thread. The public deserves to know, and by any means necessary. Period.

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. It's a reasonable question to ask

But it’s not reasonable to demand that someone break the law to answer it.

[QueerDuck]

6. When a high-profile death occurs, the circle of people who know the truth expands rapidly.

This would likely include hospital staff, transport drivers, removal technicians, the funeral director, the embalmer, the crematory operator, and even administrative clerks filing the paperwork.

If the people involved feel confident that a reputable news outlet will protect their reporters with the First Amendment... and a news organization can print a story based entirely on an anonymous tip... it may be impossible to keep someone from talking or whispering secrets to a reporter in an empty stairwell... or at the smoker's patio on the roof.

The reporter simply writes, "A source close to the family confirms..." or "According to a confidential source within the facility..."

After he's dead-dead... it wouldn't stay a secret very long. For now, he's just mostly dead.

8. There must be ways

besides unleashing a wave of money and threats like the GOP would do as a first resort.

[BannonsLiver]

10. Lotta pearl clutching about HIPPA

Hospital staff leak shit all the time about celebs. It’s nothing new. And it’s not exactly the crime of the century as some in the thread have intimated. Calm down lol.

[EdmondDantes_]

13. And it's immoral and illegal then too

Many of those people rightfully get fired.

[BannonsLiver]

14. Most don't though.
