David Brock: ‘I Was Prepared to Bring Up’ Sanders’s Medical Records

David Brock, founder of the pro-Hillary Clinton super-PAC Correct the Record, confirmed to Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect " that he was planning to go after Sanders over the release of his medical records as early as last weekend, but refrained.

"I was prepared to bring that up," Brock said, confirming a story published Politico on the issue. "I was scheduled to do a couple of interviews over the weekend in Charleston, so I was prepared to bring that up.”

Releasing the records is part of the normal vetting process for candidates, Brock argued. “It’s usual for all candidates in the presidential, particularly someone who’s doing well and becoming a top tier candidate,” he said. “And look, they said they were gonna do it, so clearly I was on the right path.”

During an appearance on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday Sanders said he had no problem releasing his medical records. “Thank God, I am very healthy,” Sanders said. “We will get our medical records out the same way that Secretary Clinton has gotten her records out. It is not a problem.”

I guess Sanders' campaign will get apologies from all the DUers who stated as fact that Sanders' campaign was fundraising off of rumours they themselves started? (You know who you are) I won't hold my breath.

Question: Has Clinton released her recent medical records? TheProgressive Jan 2016 #5
Despite what many will claim: No. JonLeibowitz Jan 2016 #6
No. She's released a letter from a doctor that claims to be a summary. (nt) jeff47 Jan 2016 #8

People defended that sleazy pos while others claimed Bernie lied about the attack in order to solicit donations.

Thanks for Correcting The Record, Brock and reminding me why I still think you're an unethical dirtbag.

Obesity... Just the obvious ones... for starters... H/O Seizures? Head Injury, DVT/PE? Hypercoaguable State on anti-coagulation for life... which is known... Bernie comparatively appears quite healthy...

That's the standard. A note. Bernie should have his doctor sign his note "Epstein's Mom".
