Omg. He literally emailed one of the prosecutors just tasked with investigating coronavirus-related crimes.

Jerome Corsi, the commentator who narrowly escaped charges in Mueller probe, meant to email Zev Zelenko, a White House-allied doctor, about a hydroxychloroquine project. He instead emailed Aaron Zelinsky, the Mueller prosecutor. A new probe has begun...

Federal prosecutors are examining the communications of a New York family doctor who appears frequently on Fox News and has been in touch with the White House to tout an anti-malarial as a treatment for the novel coronavirus, according to people contacted as part of the inquiry.
The examination of Vladimir Zev Zelenkos records began when an associate, conservative commentator Jerome Corsi, accidentally sent an email intended for Zelenko to another Z name in his address book federal prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky, who as a member of special counsel Robert S. Mueller IIIs team had spent months scrutinizing Corsis activities during the 2016 presidential election.
During episodes of his daily podcast this week and in a YouTube video he posted late Thursday in response to questions from The Washington Post, Corsi said that Zelinsky responded to the unexpected email by reaching out to Corsis lawyer and requesting all of Corsis communications with Zelenko.
Corsi said he and Zelenko are collaborating on a website designed to connect people with doctors. They have acted lawfully, Corsi added, but he plans to cooperate with the request and has handed over his communications.

(17,600 posts)and probably there was something in the email that suggested criminal activity
and it was accidentally sent to a prosecutor who is investigating the type of criminal activity it may have suggested

(46,051 posts)There had to have been something in the content of the e-mail. I would love to see Corsi in jail. He's been getting away with this sh*t since the Swift Boat Liars.

(44,973 posts)It's already apparently a "standard of care."
Where is the freaking evidence it actually works?
And it's not like it's harmless, it has side effects.

(35,320 posts)Remdesivir apparently has some evidence it works, but it's not the strongest (as far as what's been published).
People touted hydroxychloroquine and antibody-infusion as treatments (both have the same non-results last I heard). DUers panned the hydroxychloroquine idea because Trump and ululated in joy over the antibody-infusion treatment. Again, the evidence was that both had meh results.
Both also have side effects, but only one is easily attributed to the treatment.
