They violated the assumption of confidentiality between a counselor and a patient -- and thus medical ethics. Lock 'em up!


Patients can waive any client-patient confidentiality whenever they want and to whomever they want.  Otherwise, you couldn't tell your spouse or friend or parents or whomever about what the doctor told you.  That makes no sense.  So that can't be it.

The alleged "issue" is that they publicly taped the Planned Parenthood representatives talking about selling baby parts... in a public place, where there is no expectation of privacy, regardless of what any law says.  The activist California AG will lose this case, badly.  It is the very definition of a partisan witch hunt by a partisan hack.

We need to send Federal Troops into the rogue state of California pronto. These people are absolutely NUTS!

Or President Trump can grow a pair and pardon them.

"Breaking the law is OK if the people doing it share my political views."

When was the last time 60 Minutes or the local news in California were prosecuted by the California AG for a hidden camera expose?  Or the animal rights activists who go on farms to tape what is going on there?  Answer - never.  So how can the citizen journalists who exposed Planned Parenthood's baby parts selling be prosecuted under that law?  They cannot.  Their actions are protected by the First Amendment.

And, as far as I know, Trump can't pardon anyone for state crime.

That's up for a court of law to decide. I don't know the details of the case, but I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be prosecuted it what they did was constitutionally protected speech. Or do you want to scream political persecution as well?

There is no question that this is a political witch hunt by an activist hack Attorney General against people who made his abortionist friends look bad.  He doesn't bring similar cases against 60 Minutes or local TV stations or even those animal rights activists who go to farms and slaughterhouses to tape what is going on there.  It is selective prosecution of certain members of the press for their political views.  And as I've explained before, you don't need to work for the mainstream media to be a protected member of the press under the First Amendment.
