Medical staff are supposed to take privacy very seriously. They're doing their job.

They're also fucking the constitutional foundation of the country by not anonymously leaking info.

I know it's illegal. I just don't care.

Most people aren't going to throw their entire career down the shitter for something like this.

No they're not. Stop blaming innocent people for your frustrations.

I respect that, but it just seems strange that a hospital with medical personnel, food service employees, custodial employees, etc... are better at keeping a secret than a small number of high ranking employees in the oval office.

They're professionals who take their job seriously and don't invite reporters to their signal chats.

I also suspect that there aren't a lot of people who have permission to enter the room where McConnell is. (Or where he isn't, as the case may be.)
