  1. I took more as Pence was against Trump for the same reasons a lot of politicians are, he’s an outsider. So Pence, as a swamp creature and as someone who’s corrupted, decided to work with Rosenstein and against Trump

  2. From the way I understood it the whistleblower was taking a specific kind of medication. When the FDA/manufacturer changed the formula it technically wasn’t what he’d originally been prescribed and so this was the technicality the Dirty Trick squad used to go after him on insurance fraud. Along with the fact that he was in a Safeway pharmacy a “known gathering spot for drug addicts”

I’m don’t see the FDA being manipulated to alter a drug for a single guy that they’re fucking with.

I totally believe these government types would lie about some guy being at a Safeway pharmacy and it being a “known gathering spot for drug addicts”.

There must be stuff available through FOIA to back it.

This is grade A level LARPing material until demonstrated true by corroborating evidence.

Not that the FDA manipulated the drug. That the formula changed, which happens all the time, but because the formula changed it wasn’t technically the same drug his insurance was paying for, hence why they tried to charge him with insurance fraud

Seems like this would be something people don’t ever have to think about. Why wouldn’t insurance or the doctor just handle these details?
Nobody would get insurance fraud for that(which I don’t even remember reading about in the pdf)

That’s the point. It isn’t insurance fraud. It’s the same with the reasoning on how they determined they were justified in surveilling him, because he was hanging around “a known location where drug users frequent” which turned out to be the Safeway pharmacy. It’s like...yeah, people who do drugs go to the pharmacy. That’s the whole point of pharmacies, to get “drugs”. And yes, pharmaceutical drug companies change the formulas of their medications. So technically the ‘government’ was correct. He WAS using a medication that wasn’t strictly what was stated on his insurance and technically he WAS in a place where drug users frequent, but it’s trivial and capricious and that’s what makes it scary and abusive
