In real life, Claypool would have gone to jail for a few weeks or months for illegally obtaining medical records according to HIPAA regulations. The staffer who leaked the information should have served the maximum sentence of one year in federal prison. Leo hiring her back was a sentimental touch, but she should have suffered the consequences for leaking classified information especially since she was stone cold sober.

@@MtotheFourthPower Actually, that is exactly how it works. Unless Leo signed a document stating that law firm had access to his medical information, they have no right to it. Pay and compensation, yes. That's public information, but not his personal medical records. Hell, even within an organization, medical information is strictly controlled. For instance if you have a medical issue that you have to take time off work for, but do NOT want the entire company to know about? It stays in HR. If it does not, they can fire whomever in HR leaked it because they broke the law.

What is the problem with someone going to rehab. It simply means they had a problem and they sought professional help. That by anyone’s standard is someone you trust. The ones you do not trust are the ones who do not admit their problem and the ones who do not seek help.

@@glenndallas7171 Only just saw this. That is the question I was raising. I am fully aware the Republicans wanted to use it politically. The question is why it is seen as a stigma that Leo previously had a prescription drug addiction. If it was not seen as a stigma the Republicans could not have used it. BTW this question is largely rhetorical- because to me the answer is Leo’s past addiction to prescription drugs and the fact he is a recovering alcoholic is not an issue. After all one of my country’s most popular Prime Ministers (Bob Hawke) was a probably a recovering alcoholic. He had given up the grog by the time he became PM. But prior to that he was well known as a heavy drinker, and at one time he was in the Guinness Book of Records for a beer drinking feat. Edit Just checked- while he was at Oxford he drank a yard of beer in 11 seconds ( which was the record fastest at the time)

Hands down, This series is THE most misunderstood. Too many people from one side of bipartisan politics only see what they want. This is an idealized concept of "the perfect moderate leaning left" Administration, with a POTUS (Bartlet) embodying a marriage of the best aspects of Carter, Reagan, FDR, and Teddy Roosevelt with a smattering of Lincoln. Bartlet was written to be more subtle with it, but he was as "scorched earth" with those that were too left as he was with those too right on the spectrum.. and too many miss it because they only want to see and hear what they want. For example... it goes over everyone's heads that this "investigation" is going the same route as one against the POTUS right now. I didn't vote for him.. but I don't have partisan blinders on either so I can see it.
