Washington Times ^ | June 16, 2017 | Sally Persons

Posted on 06/16/2017 1:28:04 PM PDT by thouworm

“I feel a lot more confident and a lot more optimistic than I did two, three days ago,” Dr. Sava said at a press conference. “When he arrived he was in critical condition with an imminent risk of death.”

....But Mr. Scalise is expected to recover. “I think we fully expect him to be able to walk, and hopefully run,” said the trauma surgeon.

I am relieved to know that the President is ensuring matters are being taken care of. Steve Scalise will now be fine because of the President’s informed actions.

Petitfour, please forgive my injecting negativity into the thread. We are all so happy for Steve Scalise’s recovery and for his family.

President Trump’s actions saved Scalise’s life.

OANN can be quite good. Also True Pundit, Daily Caller, RT, and Webb and Goodman YT channels. I don’t watch TV and have no cable or Directv, etc. in my home. It makes a great difference to one’s focus except when one gets too far ahead of the public, then it can become concerning as in, for example, this thread.

I am researching now the history of Crowdstrike and am finding original information on them. For example, they were funded in 2013 by Warburg-Pincus and if you know that, then you know who is behind them.

I am also uncovering some disturbing background on Gulftainer USA and how that situation traces back to a President that I once admired, GW Bush. Likely he was again just a prop for others to use for their own ends. It’s disheartening because I traveled on the periphery and accompanied his Inner Ring of 1000 from Texas to Wash DC in January 1981 for his inauguration. Some from that group felt GW had dropped the ball by his 2nd term. God, I hope that never happens to Donald.

I will hopefully this weekend post to FR about Gulftainer to let people digest info they need to know about.

I am amazed at how our President is on top of things and way ahead of most things. Yes, I believe his informed actions were a major factor of the reversal of the prognosis.

Agreed.

I dont know if this yokel had an experience firing this type of weapon, but many FReepers are quite good with a weapon and someone of their quality could have done much worse damage.

But as it turns out, someone of their quality usually is a law abiding SANE citizen.

I’ts nuts like this that go over the deep edge.

But HUNDREDS of fragments? That’s what the doctor said. Or at least a hundred, I think

That sounds like a lot!

Horrible. I didn't hear the Dr's remarks so thanks for mentioning it. This would mean the dead @$$#01e did choose some type of frangible load.

Respect for the medical team helping Mr. Scalise, and thanks for answered prayers.

OTOH... maybe this Dr. isn't quite on the up and up and can't be counted on to be entirely truthful.

Sava most likely set up the circumstances that led to Seth Rich’s death.He was in charge did not allow anyone near Rich even for normal treatment and only a few hours later Rich was declared dead.
We have no body,no one will talk about it,no govt. or hospital agency will confirm anthing they hide behind hippa, its a bad joke.I think Sava killed Rich.See below.
.............................

One America News claims the attending physician who treated Rich was Dr. Jack Sava, a donor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, who visited the White House six times before the day of Seth Rich’s murder. But WND has been unable to verify whether it was actually Dr. Sava who treated Rich.

WND called Dr. Sava, one of 80 doctors who specialize surgery at MedStar Health, multiple times to ask him if he operated on Rich. But WND was unable to reach the physician, and his office has not returned messages.

WND has launched a GoFundMe campaign to get to the bottom of the Seth Rich murder. Help us find out what really happened to the DNC staffer!

Dr. Sava is in a relationship with Lisa Kountoupes, a lobbyist for the DNC in 2016 who reportedly visited the White House 23 times during that same time period. They both reportedly visited the East Wing, reserved for then-first lady Michelle Obama and her staff.

WikiLeaks emails reveal Kountoupes co-hosted a Feb. 22, 2016, fundraiser with Tony and John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 national campaign chairman. Kountoupes and Dr. Sava were also listed on a guest list attached to a Feb. 7, 2016, email to John Podesta. Kountoupes is listed among Clinton Foundation contributors in the $10,0001-$25,000 donation bracket.

WND repeatedly has been directed to the Metropolitan Police Department by the FBI, EMS, hospitals and others. The Metropolitan Police Department and Washington, D.C., mayor’s office maintain that Rich was killed during an attempted robbery, even though the murderers left behind his wallet, credit cards and other valuables.

Rich’s story has been largely ignored by establishment media. Those who have called attention to the suspicious circumstances surrounding the murder have been branded “conspiracy theorists,” including Fox News host Sean Hannity.

Yes Medstar and under the same supervision of the Dr.,Sava, who most likely killed him.

Same evolution here. I used to be a huge fan of his father,41. Met him numerous times when he came to town. No more after I learned who he really is.

tyvm for that explanation. Most people-—me included-—that have surgery think of the surgery and the surgeon.

Now I have a new concern ;) ...but it is always good to be equipped with facts.

Thanks again.

I heard Rand Paul right after it happened, and he did help - both doctors did. Rand Paul tried his bed to to explain to the media how this would have been a bloodbath without those heroic cops. I don’t see a reason to bash Paul here.

You got a link? All I see is that he escaped by jumping in a car driven by an aide. I see nothing about him going to the field to administer aid to a dying scalise

Wow; thank you for filling in the blanks. Sava gave an excellent presser, but that solely do to the generosity of Scalise’s wife to permit him/MedStar latitude of detail.

I have been following the Seth Rich murder insofar as hardcore double-SOURCED facts have been obtainable.

Seth’s murder and the subsequent follow-up details stink like hell. I am particularly disturbed that his parents seemed to be managed by DNC crisis operatives.

Would it not be possible for his parents, like Scalise’s wife (who understandably released in part), to permit MedStar to release all medical records to the press?

Why wouldn’t they? What possible motive do they have to not release all medical records of their son in detail?
