Trump's choices:
•Refuse to release the files;
•Release them;
•Redact them.
The problem with redaction option is that someone, somewhere knows what's in the files, maybe several "someones," at least one who's not a Trump fan.
It's unclear what's most worrisome, but leaks should top the list.

Without Christopher's social-media post, we'd be hard pressed to identify the actual victim in this matter.

With O'Neill (apparently) taking over CDC (if they ever get around to firing Monarez), I think it's worth looking back to Project 2025 and asking what they actually intend to *do* to CDC. So, I went to remind myself today. Here's what's in store:

Get ready for more legal fireworks. Given the makeup of the current U.S. Supreme Court, the physician's extraordition seems likely. 😐
Shield Laws don’t protect reproductive health service providers from criminal prosecution by another state.
I fear for the NY doctor indicted in LA. Extradition between states is both Constitutional & codified under federal law.
See Puerto Rico v. Branstad. See also: The Fugitive Slave Act.
