Yes but she can’t violate the law by not testifying in court under oath....even the military can’t stop her from doing so.
“Yes but she can’t violate the law by not testifying in court under oath....even the military can’t stop her from doing so.”
Yes she can. Crimes committed outside a military installation by persons subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice which, normally, are tried by court martial will be investigated and prosecuted by the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense will provide immediate notice of significant cases to the appropriate Department of Justice investigative agency. The Department of Defense will provide immediate notice in all cases where one or more subjects is not under military jurisdiction unless the Department of Justice has relieved the Department of Defense of the reporting requirement for that type or class of crime.

She released information that will require validation of proof and directly violated Article 92 as dereliction of duty. There are sources to work to overturn and bring justice to this in the military to include the I.G. and a congressional investigation. She should have pleaded the fifth on that and referenced a military justice people to assist her. But by saying anything, she has harmed the trust and the reputation of the military medical field and the branch of service involved.
The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which apply to all civil cases filed in federal courts, require deponents to answer every question unless the information is privileged or the court has previously ordered that the information cannot be revealed. In a legal setting, a privilege is a protection a party invokes to keep the other side from learning certain private communications. The most common privilege is the attorney/client privilege, which nearly absolutely protects communications between an attorney and a client. Other privileges that vary by state include doctor/patient privilege and accountant/client privilege.
On a side note, according to DoD Directive 5124.02, it states:
Military Health System patients, MHSpatients have explicit rights about information disclosure; choice of providers;
health plans; access to emergency services; participation in treatment decisions; respect and nondiscrimination; privacy and security of personally identifiable information and appeals; as well as specific responsibilities to participate in their own health decisions. HIPPA goes even further, but you can find that if you wish.

What some people fail to realize or recognize is the distinction between what is legal and what is right.
She did what is right.
It’s an evil and immoral government that makes doing right illegal.
