FoxNews has been reporting that he did have a seizure. He evidently does have a history of some sort along these lines. They reported that he was medicated, stabilized, and released.

The guy may be a douche-bag, working for this administration, but I’m not convinced this is something we should try to capitalize on.

If someone on our side had a medical emergency, we would view rather dimly the Left’s attempt to take them down for it.

My only question here, is was he complying with the law concerning driving and his tendency to have seizures once in a while? If he was not in compliance with driving guidelines, or had received special treatment, and avoided having his license revoked, he should answer for it, and anyone else who was involved too.

Laws are for 'little people'.

Uhhhmmmm... local police, the prosecutor, a judge, the myriad of politicians in his state, lawyers, his staff,the media, the President ?

Oh well, we can all dream.

If this represents a new medical condition my prayers go with him. If this is a previously diagnosed condition of epilepsy, seizures or fainting , it is against California law for him to possess a valid driver’s license. The law is so strict that if the treating physician did NOT report it to the DMV, the doc could lose his license. One of my best friends is a neurologist and he has had many instances where sweet little old ladies have come off the exam table clawing at his throat when he tells them they can no longer drive.

He, like all the administration, is privileged. The facts are what they tell us.

...he smashes into the Buick, gets out, talks to the people in that car, then jumps back into his car, takes off - side-swiping the Buick. Then he smashes into another car and leads police on a goose-chase before stopping and passing out? Wouldn't a normal person's brain - knowing they have health/seizure problems - decide to stay out of the car, lie down, ask for medical assistance? None of this adds up.

My co worker has these. They get lesser with age. You have to take your meds and they can strike without warning sometimes. DMV removes the license. after Six months without an episode the DR will give an eval for you to give to DMV. They will review your record.
