Dr. Harold Bornstein may have just delivered Donald Trump’s Pee Pee Tape to Robert Mueller
When taking down a criminal kingpin, the most efficient method is to convince his own underlings and henchmen to testify against him. Thus far Robert Mueller has cut plea deals with Trump’s former key advisers like Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, and Rick Gates. Mueller has also convinced others to cooperate as witnesses without formal plea deals. It’s a safe bet that we now know who Mueller’s new prime witness is: Dr. Harold Bornstein. Believe it or not, because of who else this involves, this could lead to the Pee Pee Tape.
Yeah, that guy. Harold Bornstein is Donald Trump’s longtime personal physician, and during the election he insisted in comically hyperbolic fashion that Trump was in perfect health. Bornstein came off as yet another hapless Trump loyalist who was willing to throw away his ethics and reputation for the sake of having Trump in his life. But now Bornstein is suddenly making some very ugly accusations against Trump, which appear to involve criminal behavior.
Dr. Bornstein is now telling NBC News that just weeks after Donald Trump took office, he sent his personal bodyguard Keith Schiller and another man to raid his office and seize Trump’s medical records. We don’t know why Bornstein is just now choosing to go public about this, though he may have been motivated by Trump’s recent scandal with his new doctor, Ronny Jackson. Whatever Bornstein’s motivation, he’s exposed that Trump and Schiller probably committed serious crimes by going the thug route to seize the records instead of going through a proper HIPAA process.
You can bet that Robert Mueller’s team is on the horn with Harold Bornstein as we speak, in order to secure Bornstein as a cooperating witness. It’s not Mueller’s job to expose whatever health problems Donald Trump is trying to cover up, and Bornstein wouldn’t be allowed to talk about that anyway. But Mueller can use this trespassing and theft incident to push Keith Schiller to cut a plea deal and testify about what he witnessed on the night of the Pee Pee Tape incident.
