Eithan and the American people deserve answers about this prosecution - and soon we may get them. Thanks to Representatives Jim Jordan @Jim_Jordan and Chip Roy @chiproytx, the time has come for Texas Children's Hospital explain itself. 1/4🧵
theblaze.com/news/exclusive…2/4 Yesterday, the Subcommittee on the Constitution on Limited Government wrote a letter to Texas Children's Hospital, demanding that it produce to Congress all docs regarding:
- its decision to "restart" transgender interventions on children after publicly stating they stopped
-the lecture from January 2023 where they admitted (internally) that they still had a transgender program
-whether they are still doing it today
-how they identified Eithan as the whistleblower
-and, importantly, its communications with the US Attorney's Office regarding Eithan, including the former lead prosecutor, Tina Ansari.

My husband’s (@EithanHaim) First Amendment rights may be under attack by a de facto gag order – but mine are not. 🧵1/7
On Dec 3, the judge threatened Eithan with FEDERAL PRISON and his attorneys with sanctions if they continue to post so-called “inflammatory” content on X about the DOJ’s corruption in this case.
He didn’t grant or deny the gag order, but kept the government’s motion “live” pending trial in February. This is arguably worse and serves two purposes.
(1) The court’s instruction to avoid “similar conduct” leaves unclear what kind of speech represents a violation (presumably that which the DOJ doesn’t like? see below) and what the consequences would be – imposition of a gag order merely being one of them.
(2) By leaving the matter undecided, the court is shielded from public criticism and appellate review (where it would likely be overturned as unconstitutional in the Fifth Circuit).
As a result of this “non-gag gag order,” the onus is on the defense to muzzle themselves. It’s an unconstitutional prior restraint of someone who needs free speech the most: the criminal defendant David facing a corrupt government Goliath.
I was not planning on speaking publicly about this case. I’m a private person, and I don’t really use social media. But Eithan’s X posts have been the only way he has been able to raise funds for a legal defense and expose the DOJ’s blatant corruption over the last year and a half.
As a wife and attorney, I can’t sit by while they extinguish the light he’s shone on this case, particularly as newly unsealed evidence proves that this case was malicious all along (more on that later!).2/7 As background, Eithan is the whistleblower who exposed in a report with @realchrisrufo that Texas Children’s Hospital was lying to the public about the existence of its transgender program for children. They were implanting puberty blockers on kids as young as 11 and hiding it from the public.
He is currently facing 4 felony charges on a made-up, baseless HIPAA theory. The DOJ’s case is falling apart for both legal and non-legal reasons (see @EdWhelanEPPC’s and @AndrewCMcCarthy’s excellent reporting on this in the National Review).
Everyone should read this recent article from Tom Bartlett at the Free Press (@TheFP). His thorough reporting really captures what this case is about and what it has been like to live with it.
