@SenRandPaul
In July 2023, I referred Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice for lying under oath to Congress. His own emails directly contradicted his sworn testimony.
@NYT reports Fauci was quietly pardoned by an autopen, operated by Biden’s staff. If the President didn’t authorize this pardon personally, then the Department has a duty to investigate and prosecute as it would any ordinary citizen.
Fauci has been sainted by the extremist Left, but it doesn’t erase his lying before Congress.
I am officially re-referring Dr. Fauci to the @DOJ .

Go Rand...
the easy solution is simply to bring Fauci back before congress so he can lie again and then be charged since the new lie wouldn’t be covered by the pardon.
That’s a great idea send it to Rand’s office
HOORAY Rand. Give him the beagle treatment before proper social distancing 6ft under.
He’s right, but Biden has already said he approved all the auto pen pardons. Good luck proving otherwise.
All hat and no cattle.
So, what are you going to do about it Rand? Where is the legislation to invalidate his pardon, where is the referral to criminal prosecution, who have you lobbied / aligned with in the senate to gain support.
I am tired of Rand Pauls bluster, all he has are words. How are people NOT tired of his grift and lack of tangible results, all he does is obstruct real change and then bloviates on emotional issues.
Congress can pass a law that all pardons must be personally signed by POTUS, and autopenned pardons are invalid with retroactive effect. Let SCOTUS decide the matter.
He’s right on with this one.
Hammer, meet nail!!!!
Joe Biden making a statement is worthless. He's already been determined to be unfit to go on trial, so why is anything he says considered truth?
Biden has already said he approved all the auto pen pardons. Good luck proving otherwise.

Congress has been grilling obidens doc about his mental competence.
Obidens wasn’t mentally competent to approve squat much less the autopen.
YEP, meaningless bluster. NOTHING will come out of this.
I feel much the same way about Rand.
He has apparently had his finger high enough into the wind for long enough to conclude this is a safe stance for him to take.
Prosecute SOMEONE!!!!
I say go for it, Rand.
On this, we can agree!
Has anyone also noticed that Adam Sciff-for-brains has been conspicuously absent from appearances lately, too? (The J6 bunch is also in the Autopen stack with Fauci).
Yeah, yeah, it’ll be kicked down the road until he gets justice in the after life.
and autopenned pardons are invalid with retroactive effect.

The Constitutions specifically prohibits retroactive laws.

While I do favor prosecuting Fauci for crimes against humanity, and testing that fake pardon in court, there may be an easier way to get him. Prosecute one of his immediate underlings, or several of them, and get Fauci to testify in open court or in a deposition. Either the SOB tells the truth and damns everything that he ever did regarding Covid, or he lies and damns himself. You see, even if the pardon is valid, it doesn’t cover anything in the way of crimes after the pardon was issued. So if he lies in any kind of a sworn statement, he is subject to charges of perjury.
Fauci, and the rest of the SOBs who were pardoned by the auto pen, can be gotten to. It is just a matter of having a little bit of political will. That, and building the right case against each of the targeted people. I have high hopes that something will be done, but it is not going to take place as soon as all of us would like it to.
Rand Paul could arrange for Fauci to testify before the US Senate, and aim to do the same thing that a trial would - namely, to either have Fauci spill the beans on all of the lies committed by the government, including himself, during Covid, or to get him to lie at that hearing. Either way, just like a formal trial, Fauci damns himself. Rand really doesn’t have to wait for someone else to do something, he largely has this power within his grasp - so he should act instead of belly-ache..
