A couple of weeks ago, Josh Duggar was transferred to a new facility under mysterious circumstances.
His new facility, Federal Medical Center of Fort Worth, specializes in medical and mental health services.
Immediately, longtime Duggar watchers began to speculate about what might have led to the change of venue.
His attorney is offering a limited explanation for the transfer. Not everyone is convinced.
He is reportedly ‘fine’
Beau Brindley is currently the attorney representing Josh.
Speaking to TMZ, he insists that his client is doing just “fine” despite what one might assume from his transfer from FCI Seagoville to FMC Forth Worth.
According to Brindley, this was a “routine” transfer.
Which, obviously, tells us nothing.
So, what did Brindley choose to divulge?
According to Brindley, the May 29 transfer was not related to Josh’s health.
TMZ notes that FMC Fort Worth primarily caters to severely ill inmates who require inpatient management, intensive monitoring, or both.
In other words, no one gets transferred to FMC Fort Worth for a checkup.
Or for fun.
But that’s what Brindley has to share. And the Bureau of Prisons isn’t going to violate federal privacy laws to satisfy our curiosity. Alas.
Why don’t some folks believe this?
We have to, at this point, acknowledge that attorneys wear multiple hats in the course of their services.
In court, attorneys are officers of the court — and must conduct themselves in specific ways, including never lying to a judge, let along suborning perjury.
Attorneys also have obligations to advocate for their cause or client. Many view these as sacred tenants of their profession.
However, when attorneys speak to the press, they are wearing a very different hat.
We make no statement to impugn Brindley’s integrity or to imply that these statements were dishonest. We just have to acknowledge that TMZ is not a judge and Brindley’s statements would be in Josh’s best interests rather than intended to give TMZ the most accurate scoop.
Josh is currently serving a 12.5 year sentence following his conviction for receiving and possesing child sex-abuse material (CSAM).
In fact, his release date was just pushed back — and not for the first time.
At present, Josh will be in prison until February 2033.
He is fighting to overturn his conviction, shorten his sentence, or whatever else he can do to wriggle out of the legal consequences for his crimes.
Perhaps, one day, we’ll know the reason for this “routine” transfer. For now, we can only guess.
