You are both correct; I withdraw my prior comment.
As such, it is then very fishy that someone bound by HIPPA would spout off. It sounds now like that old Leftist/Clintonian tactic of throwing a few easily disproven woppers into a big story...then the whoppers are disproven, thereby discrediting all of the truthful nuggets that are part of the big story, and ending the scandal of the week.
Could well be. As it is, there is more attention on the DEATH of seth Rich, than on the quesiton of whether he was the source of DNC Wikileaks. The doctor story tends to draw even more attention to the DEATH question.
Many people perpetrate hoaxes just for the thrill of it. FR has had a few posters who were very skilled at that, and human nature loves a good conspiracy theory.
