Secretary RFK Jr owes Sen. Maggie Hassan an apology for saying she was being dishonest about David Geier being charged with practicing medicine without a license.
She deserves more than just an apology. He should be prosecuted for lying during his testimony. Wondering why no one else has explored this. Wasn’t he under oath?
It partly explains how Kennedy came up with $5 million. The total settlement was $4.6 million when you add in the Geiers' legal fees that the Board had been ordered to pay before overturned by the appeal. The appeal decision may be controversial because it gives the Board broad legal immunity. But Kennedy was wrong to say that the civil court had reversed the initial judgement against the Geiers. The Geier's suit was about the Board improperly releasing the Geier's private medical information, not about the Board's decisions against the Geiers medical practices.
I am aware that RFKjr was talking about David, but the article says that David was one of the three plaintiffs in the suit "Dr. Geier, his wife and son sued the Board of Physicians..." Is this not correct? Was RFKjr referring to a different suit and $5 million award?
I know and I wrote that in my original comment: "Kennedy was wrong to say that the civil court had reversed the initial judgement against the Geiers. The Geier's suit was about the Board improperly releasing the Geier's private medical information, not about the Board's decisions against the Geiers medical practices." Note my use of the plural Geiers although I should have used Greiers' for the posessive instances.
Funny how RFK Jr. champions cracking down on synthetic food dyes but never mentions seedless fruits or genetically modified foods—guess some natural conspiracies are more equal than others.

It wasn’t his only lie.
But it seems lying under oath is no longer regarded as problematic.

Your link is about Dr. Mark Geier.
RFK Jr was talking about his son, David Geier...

Mark was the lead plaintiff but Anne and David were co-plaintiffs https://law.justia.com/cases/maryland/court-of-appeals/2017/11-16.html
Still, the award was overturned on appeal and the lawsuit wasn't about David Geier’s charge of practicing medicine without a license.
