“This is Not Normal” – LEAKED: Veterans Affair Insider Reveals HHS Memo Detailing “Presidential Inauguration Medical Personnel Support Deployment Request”
Gateway Pundit ^ | 1/7/25 | Christinia Laila

The O’Keefe Media Group obtained a leaked memo detailing an unusual “presidential inauguration medical personnel support deployment request” for Trump’s inauguration.

The Department of Veterans Affair insider told James O’Keefe that she has never seen a request like this before.

“This is not normal,” the VA insider told James O’Keefe.

Per O’Keefe Media Group:

“What concerned me was that this has never been requested before, especially not from HHS,” an insider within the Department of Veterans Affairs told O’Keefe Media Group, revealing an internal memorandum requesting medical personnel ahead of the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. The documents, addressed to Dr. Paul D. Kim of the Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Emergency Management, detail a formal appeal for paramedics, emergency nurses, and doctors.

When questioned by James O’Keefe about if it was typical for the Office of Emergency Management to administer this kind of memorandum for previous inaugurations, Derrick Jaastad, the Executive Director for the VHA Office of Emergency Management, said, “I was not with the organization, so I can’t speak to that.

Directed to speak with Public Affairs Specialist Kurt M. Rauschenberg, an OMG Journalist, asked if the deployment of medical personnel by HHS was typical for a presidential inauguration. Similar to Jaastad’s response, Rauschenberg replied, “I personally can’t speak to previous inaugurations.”

Despite a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Health and Human Services O’Keefe Media Group did not receive an explanation.

“They HATE us.

They HATE America.

They want us in PRISON or DEAD.”

The feelings are mutual.

“President Trump... consider having the swearing in at Mar-a-Lago, if appropriate.”

Or a military base (other than Fort Bragg, of course).

yeah but they ACT.

We TALK.

Would have taken only 50 southerners armed, not even showing their arms, to stop their statues from being torn down.

No one even tried.

Italians did. They grabbed baseball bats and stood guard around the Columbus statues.

The left..blm, antifa etc...burned down a CITY.

They let in millions and millions of illegals who have raped and killed and assaulted to no one.

Our response. To patiently wait for the election while people died.

I’ve said it before.

They act.

We type :)

Yes, I suspect so too. It would still be helpful to know where the request came from.

I’m concerned that if there’s violence, my horse 🐎 could be injured

Perhaps a motor scooter is the better choice

I believe any judge can swear in the president. As I recall LBJ was sworn in by a local Texas judge, but I was a kid at the time so I may be misremembering.

Probably from the usual place it does…within fedgov as part of the inauguration planning process (which started months ago, if not longer). This hype is getting old.

There was a Tom Clancy book (Debt of Honor?) where nearly our entire government was decapitated by an airliner crashing into the House chamber during the SOTU (hmm, where have we seen that tactic before?). Jack Ryan was sworn in by a local judge the Secret Service managed to find in DC.

Maybe they’re planning for a bunch of Dem suicides (I just love a happy ending).

Trump should just drop the party on the 19th, take the oath in the WH on the 20th (and give a speech in front of the cameras rather than a big crowd), then get to work. The GOP can still have their inauguration parties on the 20th, so there can still be a celebration of the win. No one in DC is trustworthy right now, and the DS is running out of ways to throw sand in the gears.

Yes, perhaps a formal request for medical personnel to be in attendance at a major event — esp. one where so many elderly bigwigs will be present — is standard procedure. This may be a big nothing-burger. Or the Deep State could be planning a mass-casualty event. Hmmmm . . .

The inauguration celebration should be postponed or cancelled. It is not required.

Hold a very secure swearing in ceremony on the 20th at Mar-a-Lago or the WH and stream it.

He could be televised on the JUMBOTRON. MAGAdonians would understand.

DJT will not show any fear. He will be sworn in live and in person.

That is very benign explanation. Hopefully that is the reason.

I wonder if the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas will attend? That could be telling.

"They HATE us. They HATE America. They want us in PRISON or DEAD. "

That's it in a nutshell. The good news is that a lot of non-leftists know that now. At this point, if they try something horrible NONE of them will ever get a good night's sleep again.
