It seems the smoke swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci just keeps getting thicker.
Every time the former government health czar slips out of sight, another revelation pops up about his questionable decisions, his political maneuvering, or his desperate attempts to protect himself from accountability.
The latest twist came from a bombshell conversation shared by independent journalist Nick Shirley, who claims Fauci was frantically seeking a presidential pardon on the very morning Joe Biden shuffled out of the White House.
According to Shirley’s interview with Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr., Fauci’s lawyers were emailing feverishly to ensure their client secured official forgiveness before Donald Trump could return to power.
That is quite the image for the man once portrayed as America’s scientific hero.
By Inauguration Day morning, Fauci and his legal team reportedly had their eyes locked on one goal: getting that pardon signed, sealed, and safely accepted.
Martin confirmed that the pardons were being pumped out by autopen rather than Joe Biden himself.
He explained that, legally speaking, the presidential pardon power is near absolute.
The Constitution grants it without need for procedure or justification.
In other words, Biden or his staff could push through a pardon for anyone they pleased, with or without the President actually lifting a pen.
The troubling part, Martin noted, was that all these last minute pardons were robotic signatures, not real ink.

That revelation raises a glaring question: did Joe Biden even know what was being pushed through under his name in those final chaotic hours?
Given the state of his administration, that may not surprise anyone.
Several reports have already made it clear Biden often left critical decisions to faceless staffers.
Using an autopen for something as serious as presidential pardons takes that problem to an entirely new level.
The credibility issue here is obvious.
Traditionally, autopen signatures are used for ceremonial certificates or mass letters of congratulations.
They are not typically seen on legally binding executive actions.

Attorneys familiar with pardon procedures have said that such robotic signatures could create a gray area about their legitimacy, though courts are unlikely to challenge them due to the broad constitutional scope of the pardon power.
For Fauci, that gray area might have been the only path to peace of mind.
Martin stated that Fauci’s lawyers sent their acceptance almost immediately after the pardon was issued.
Under American law, a pardon must be formally accepted to take legal effect.
That small action, hastily signing off in the early hours of January 20, suggests deep anxiety about what could come next.
It looks very much like Fauci and his team feared that a returning Trump administration would waste no time putting the pandemic architect under a microscope.
The optics here are devastating for a man who spent years demanding trust as the supposed voice of science.
From funding questionable research overseas to dodging blame for the policies that crippled small businesses and divided families, Fauci’s record has already been battered.
This newly revealed panic over a pardon only deepens doubts about his integrity and the honesty of the bureaucratic machine that sheltered him.
Tulsi Gabbard, who recently stepped down as Director of National Intelligence, had already stated that Fauci played a central role in covering up information about the origins of COVID and the dangerous research that led to it.
Gabbard said her goal was to push for transparency, even as evidence continued to surface showing how select agencies and officials worked to bury inconvenient facts.
Her statements now seem even more potent given that Fauci was allegedly racing to collect a pardon behind closed doors.
There is another level of irony here.
Democrats spent years preaching about accountability and “protecting democracy,” yet when one of their own faced questions about ethics, the system appeared to warp itself into a shield.
If confirmed, Biden’s pardon for Fauci could become one of the more damaging symbols of quiet Washington corruption, a reminder that insider privilege remains alive and well under the pretense of public service.
Legally, there may be no undoing what was done. Presidential pardons, validly accepted, are as final as it gets.
Unless Biden somehow steps forward to disown them, which seems laughably unlikely, they stand.
But even if the piece of paper holds legal protection, no pardon can erase the stench of panic from this story.
The image of Fauci’s legal team scrambling on Inauguration morning does more damage to his reputation than any congressional hearing ever could.
For ordinary Americans who endured lockdowns, censorship, and economic fallout under Fauci’s guidance, learning that he might have asked for preemptive forgiveness is a gut punch.
It reinforces what many suspected all along: the so-called experts never played by the same rules as the people they lectured.
They guarded their power, bent the truth, and when the walls began to close in, they begged for political salvation.
And through it all, Biden’s team quietly let the autopen do the dirty work.
It is a snapshot of Washington at its least accountable, an administration asleep at the wheel, a bureaucrat clinging to his lifeline, and a justice system twisted by politics.
Fauci may have managed to get his pardon, but he will never get back what he once had: the public’s trust.
That damage, unlike a signature on White House stationery, cannot be automated away.

Does the pardon forestall a trial? Probably, because it negates a crime necessary for a trial. Or maybe it acts like a “guilty but insane”verdict, “guilty but pardoned.” Then again, a pardon is only Federal. Will some state step forward and demand justice for the American People?
He may have begged. And someone listened But I seriously doubt he begged Sleepy Joe.
Good are bad, allowing this to stand lets Trump protect his team. But Trump will sign with a flourish and hand out the pens.
The check and balances to this is the voting booth. Note the shifts we are seeing as to who counts.
Hunter & Jill...........
Where’s the pic of Fauci enjoying a ballgame with his mask down while I was being scolded by a stewardess for temporarily moving my mask to blow my nose? Talk about privilege.
What Fauci and Brandon and the demonrats did to this country using the virus as a political weapon of mass destruction should make everyone’s blood boil.
Fauci wasn’t begging the POTATUS.
Who really made the decision...
Correction: fraudci did not beg bidAn, he begged POTUS Autopen.
so the Biden Admin was nothing but a bunch law breaking criminals
How much $ was promised, and to who or what?
SSDD.................[Different Democrat].........😎
“allowing this to stand lets Trump protect his team.”
It really doesn’t, remember General Flynn? And there is no question the Democrats are ruthless enough to go after pardons Trump actually signed. I would like Trump to challenge them just to get a ruling. Trump should also encourage every person who was impacted by Fauci’s actions to sue him. Every person who lost a business, was not allowed to attend a family member’s funeral, etc. (I’m not sure if that is possible)
So try him in a State court.
L
that a hole should be put away forever.
> He may have begged. And someone listened But I seriously doubt he begged Sleepy Joe.<
Therein lies the paper trail. These emails went from his lawyers to someone who acted on the request. Who were the addressees, and was Biden anywhere near them that morning?
It would not shock me to find Fauxcahontis involved in this.
EC
And didn’t Fauci’s last-minute pardon cover all of his activities dating back to 2014 or 2015? Hmmm . . .
Whole lot of “beggin” going on - Italy’s Prime Minister and Fauci - who’s next? When it catches on, it will be the new “thing” - the “thing” to do......
bttt
He was shared skitless of Trump because he knew he much Trump despised betrayal.
He probably didn’t beg. His lawyers begged. They knew what would happen to them if they didn’t pull it off.
Both Sleepy Joe and Fauci are clean again. Nothing to tie them directly to any of this.
