Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee grilled whistleblower Dr. Eithan Haim this week over his criticism of transgender medical treatments, months after the Biden Justice Department dropped criminal charges against him.

During a Wednesday hearing titled "Ending Lawfare Against Whistleblowers Who Protect Children," Haim defended his decision to leak documents to the media, revealing that Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston performed transgender medical procedures on minors through May 2023.

"I wouldn't want this to be done to anyone, not even liberals, even if they're the craziest communists ever," Haim said during the hearing. "There's no one in this country who should be falsely accused and the entire power of the federal government be brought down on them."

At one point during the hearing, ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., questioned Haim's lawyer, Mark Lytle, about the precedent behind Haim’s case, drawing a comparison to a hypothetical scenario involving vaccination records for measles.

"If I’m in Texas, and there’s a law requiring children to get measles vaccines, and I learn that another doctor’s patients aren’t vaccinated, does that give me the right to access their medical records and release them to the media or an ideological group?" Raskin asked.

"Dr. Haim didn't break into any systems," Lytle responded. "He was authorized to see these records by Texas Children's Hospital, and the prosecutor knew that."

"Was he authorized to release the information?" Raskin asked.

"He was because he was a whistleblower, and he was reporting wrongdoing," Lytle said.

Whistleblowers are bad again.

whistleblowers are bad when bad people get turned in and good when conservatives get turned in.

The doctors performing illegal and hellish surgical procedures have a right to privacy too.

"I wouldn't want this to be done to anyone, not even liberals, even if they're the craziest communists ever," Haim said during the hearing.

LOL. This is awesome; just call liberals commies every day all day, until people see them for what they identically are.

YUP! As you said (and it bears repeating):

Whistleblowers who blow the whistle on LIEberal Democrats are bad!

OTOH, whistleblowers who blow the whistle on Republicans are good!
