Back on June 10, we told you the story of Eithan Haim, who blew the whistle on Texas Children's Hospital performing "gender-affirming" surgeries on minors, 1) after the hospital had claimed to have shut down the program, and 2) after Texas passed laws banning such surgeries for minors. We remember when the Left thought whistleblowers were heroes. Agents from the Department of Health and Human Services knocked at his door and said he was under investigation for violating HIPAA, legislation that makes it illegal to share protected health information.
And as we reported Tuesday, a second whistleblower from Texas Children's Hospital came out and said the hospital was billing these sex changes to Medicare. She was awarded for exposing Medicare fraud, right? Nope. Instead, two FBI agents came to her home.
Speaking of the FBI, it proudly posted a press release Tuesday explaining the charges against Haim:
Doctor charged for unauthorized access to personal information of pediatric patients at Texas Children’s Hospital @FBIHouston https://t.co/scpRl1hTDU
— FBI (@FBI) June 18, 2024
The FBI says:
A Houston doctor has been indicted for obtaining protected individual health information for patients that were not under his care and without authorization, announced Alamdar S. Hamdani.
The case against Ethan Haim, 34, Dallas, has now been unsealed, and he is set to make his initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Yvonne Y. Ho in Houston at 2 p.m.
The four-count indictment alleges Haim obtained personal information including patient names, treatment codes and the attending physician from Texas Children’s Hospital’s (TCH) electronic system without authorization. He allegedly obtained this information under false pretenses and with intent to cause malicious harm to TCH.
If convicted, Haim faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine. For blowing the whistle on illegal sex change surgeries.
I remember when the FBI used to care about evidence of federal crimes, crimes like the mutilation of innocent children. But perhaps I was wrong… perhaps it never did.

Imagine going after the doctor for blowing the whistle on mutilation of children, but not going after the hospital?
Sounds like our typical FBI.

This doctor is a hero. I hope your families and communities are ashamed of what you do for a living. pic.twitter.com/jXFVPo1alS

Shame on you! Your actions are disgraceful and bring a previously esteemed institution into disrepute. You may well be a party to a crime under Texas law.

The Federal Bureau of Intimidation strikes again eh ?
— MikeMack33 (@mike95589) June 18, 2024
He exposed the mutilation of children without releasing a single piece of personal information. Unlike the @FBI, this doctor believes in his oath of "Do no harm..."

Whistleblower protection laws mean anything or nah?

Whistleblower exposing felonies.

I really hope Trump disbands the FBI.

So you don't really care about the information he found out you just want to stop the person who is telling people the hospital is doing something wrong?
— Diane (@SoCalValleyGal) June 18, 2024
Nowhere in its statement does the FBI mention what he blew the whistle on.
FBI talking about unauthorized access to personal information is hilarious
— C (@bumblebeetuna76) June 18, 2024
Everyone who can fog a mirror knows this was deliberate persecution of a whistleblower exposing a crime that has become part of the policy of your overlords.
— Jonathan Mayhew (@mayhew1776) June 18, 2024
Has the FBI knocked on the doors of the doctors who continued to perform the surgeries after they were outlawed? Like, the real criminals? What about the hospital? What about the Medicaid fraud?
We'll be reading about the second whistleblower's federal charge in an upcoming press release.

Don’t talk to the FBI without your attorney present.
I’m surprised they didn’t raid and shoot
Exactly. Never talk to any law enforcement officer.
In the civilian sector, once your HR is taken over, your company is quickly
transformed by [their] agenda.
Why would it be any different in the government sector?
Don’t talk to the FBI without your attorney present.
This, ONCE AGAIN, is why I say the IDIOTS in the GOP need to DISMANTLE operations like this, not simply outlaw it. In this case, you divide up the doctors who are doing this crap, by sending them to different hospitals, otherwise they just go underground (no different than how DEI is still in Texas schools). They need to be treated as the threat to society that they are.
Only if you consider exposing illegal activities occurring in that hospital that harms children to be malicious harm and even if you do I consider preventing harm to children to be an acceptable reason to harm a hospital.
He literally had to be authorized to get his access back after he was done interning there.
I believe that the FBI should have no arrests powers in the States constitutionally.
There is no provision for a Federal police agency in the Constitution.
The FBI should be required to get a warrant for arrest in a state court and then get a state LEO to serve the warrant.
True. The Constitution defines only 3 federal crimes: treason, piracy and counterfeiting. But it authorizes Congress to create new federal offenses. Since the Founding, Congress has created over 10,000 federal offenses, and that is why we have the FBI.
To get rid of the FBI, you need to pare down the number of federal offenses and restore police powers to the states.
American Gestapo.
Even so, does that give the FBI arrests powers within the States?
I don’t believe that it does.
Don’t talk to the FBI without your attorney present.

The FBI, the CIA and every other Western intelligence agency were set up by MI6 and are just branches of MI6.
Collectively, they are a pirate Mafia of drug and human traffickers who work for the European monarchs who are immune from prosecution of any and all crimes. They use blackmail to control the entire political class, the bankers, and the corporate honchos.
The idea that the European monarchs, who controlled the entire Western world for over 1,000 years...something that requires superhuman cunning and ruthlessness....would give of their power so willingly, along with the fact that nobody was in a better position than them to profit off the industrial revolution, seems to be the great mystery, question, and story that somehow never gets asked or talked about. And that’s by design.
Every Federal agency that was set up in the 20th century, that goes against the principles of the founding fathers, was put in place specifically to subvert what the founders created. A government run by the people to serve the people.
America lost its sovereignty back to the British crown when they killed McKinley and installed the traitorous Anglophile TR. Funny how the US/UK alliance, like transgenderism, never existed, until, all of the sudden, it was shoved down our throats. Funny how it’s appearance dovetailed perfectly with the creation of the Federal Reserve, FBI, CIA, and dozens of other alphabet agrncies.
The 20th century saw Washington DC transform into the founders worst nightmare. King George got his revenge.
I tend to agree with you on that. But I have only seen books discussing the Brit role in setting up the CIA. Any books or sources you can recommend about that topic? Especially the McKinley thing. I find this interesting and plausible.
