Dr. David M. Morens, a former top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci, was arrested and charged Tuesday with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in one of the first cases to allege a cover-up in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The charges – brought by the FBI, Justice Department and the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general – allege the former senior scientific adviser at the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which Fauci led for 38 years, committed conspiracy against the United States; destruction, alteration, or falsification of records in federal investigations; concealment, removal or mutilation of records; and aiding and abetting.
...
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said: “These allegations represent a profound abuse of trust at a time when the American people needed it most – during the height of a global pandemic. As alleged in the indictment, Dr. Morens and his co-conspirators deliberately concealed information and falsified records in an effort to suppress alternative theories regarding the origins of COVID-19. Government officials have a solemn duty to provide honest, well-grounded facts and advice in service of the public interest – not to advance their own personal or ideological agendas.”

This article is from “Just The News“ which I regard as one of the most reliable (if not THE most reliable)sources in either the new or old media.
I think you are mistaken to refer to it as “just a rumor“.
My point is that the DOJ needs to care about optics.
A million Kyle Rittenhouses are impatiently watching for signs of life in the Republic. What are they seeing?
When Stone was ARRESTED (Lights, sirens, cuffs, perpwalk, cameras), and Trump's mugshot was released...are we just supposed to accept their word when dems are 'indicted'?
Justice is easy. Civilization requires arrests.
Don’t forget the amphibious unit (of the domestic agency) brought along, in the case of Roger Stone. Because, after all, he does have a large tattoo of Richard Nixon </sarcasm>
Where is the China Covid Reparations we were promised?
Yes Peter Daszak is #1. I’m not going to name #2, because at least in the indictment his involvement seems de minimis, and for personal reasons (no, it’s not me). I think Morens and Daszak have extensive knowledge and might want to make a deal with the government in exchange for what they know.
Of course, you can count on the Senate Republicans to try to protect as many of the conspirators as Todd Blanche can round up, so nothing may come of this - but at least based on my read of the indictment this might just turn into a big deal.
Ah. I see, I get it now. When you said it was “just a rumor” I thought you were talking about the arrest...what you meant was, without the perp-walk and swat team, it might as well just be a rumor.
I get it. I would have liked to see that too. Well, for better or worse, we don’t play by those rules, even if I do occasionally think as you do that what is good for the goose is good for the gander...
AKA "RICO".
Yes. Or “Tax Evasion”. Or whatever. Something. Use every tool in the box to put the pressure on.
Give him all of the covid jabs and all of the boosters...../s
Yeah, let’s see how it goes. The oldest play in the book is to pick up the lowest hanging fruit, in this case Morens, and squeeze until he gives up a bigger fish further up the chain.
Which, granted, is a lot of mixed metaphors.
Daszak is a lot younger than the rest of these mooks though, and in this case, that looks like leverage. Seriously, how much does Fauci have left to lose? Every day he spends on the right side of the grass is a gift at this point.
Daszak is 60 or 61 I think.
Get to him and it could get interesting.
