The 5th Amendment guarantees the right to avoid self-incrimination. While this cannot be held against you in a court of law, the court of public opinion is a different matter entirely.
Especially when the person who is pleading the fifth happens to be former President Joe Biden’s physician, who had declared him “fit for duty” in February 2024, while failing to mention anything about his prostate or the metastatic cancer that would later be announced.
Rep. James Comer was among those present at the closed door House Oversight Committee hearing where Dr. Kevin O’Connor had been subpoenaed to testify. Rather than give a detailed testimony so that the American people can feel better about the process, he reportedly invoked his 5th Amendment rights. This leads Comer to believe, now more than ever, that there was a concerted effort to keep the president’s health concerns away from the very people who voted him into office.
President Joe Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, just pleaded the fifth at his deposition before Congress today.
It’s now clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business…

“President Joe Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, just pleaded the fifth at his deposition before Congress today. It’s now clear there was a conspiracy to cover up President Biden’s cognitive decline after Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s physician and family business associate, refused to answer any questions and chose to hide behind the fifth amendment. The American people demand transparency but Dr. O’Connor would rather conceal the truth,” the congressman wrote. “Dr. O’Connor took the fifth when asked if he was told to lie about President Biden’s health and whether he was fit to be President of the United States. Congress must assess legislative solutions to prevent such a coverup from happening again. We will continue to interview more Biden White House aides to get the answers Americans deserve.”

His medical license should be revoked. If for no other reason, he facilitated elder abuse in my view.

We don’t want answers, we want convictions so this doesn’t happen again.
