Explained: Trump does not have the power to fire Fauci!
Unfortunately for America, the longtime federal bureaucrat is an untouchable!
Jordan Schachtel
As a federal bureaucrat, Fauci cannot be fired. The laws on the books since 1978 have made that crystal-clear. Fauci is an untouchable. It’s as simple as that. Without a passed bill in congress reforming the protections of the administrative state, Fauci will do what he pleases without repercussions. Just 0.15 percent of federal employees are fired each year. Now you know why they call the federal bureaucracy “the permanent state.” You have a better chance of dying with COVID (which has an estimated 99.8% recovery rate) than being fired as a federal bureaucrat.
Think of Dr. Fauci as a member of a teachers union, but one with even more protections. If the president wanted to fire Fauci, he would have to ask one of Fauci’s superiors in the Department of Health and Human Services umbrella to launch administrative action against him. This would set off an endless itinerary of meetings, hearings, and back and forths with government lawyers. The process would ultimately take years, and it would in all likelihood result with Fauci being exonerated. Despite the fact that Fauci has become a mad scientist, whose advice has destroyed millions of American families, there is no chance the process would work out in favor of firing Fauci.
Thanks my longtime FRiend!
Once a Democrat ALWAYS a Democrat.
Dr. Fauci is the BERNIE MADOFF of modern day medicine!
You should also be aware that Anthony Fauci, apart from his work on the White House Task Force, is one of the most, if not THE most, highly esteemed Infectious Diseases physicians in the nation.
Since there are hundreds and hundreds of ID physicians involved with COVID from the bedside to the halls of research, and functioning as leaders on public policy in all 50 states, a move on Fauci would have very extensive political and PR consequences.
The shmuck.
He had the starring role of his lifetime, far highr than he deserves. They say he hasn't treated a patient, maintained an office or did hospital rounds or worked as a doctor for decades. But he is the supreme pseudogod spokesman of medical care.
He probably wanted to knife Trump in the back earlier but so many former aides, generals, Romney types and National Review Republicans had their knives there already he couldn't find a space.
Great links; thread BUMP! Thanks.
Fauci and Birx were not just wrong in their predictions for DIRECT Coronavirus deaths, they were so far off from what has actually eventuated thus far that their methods for predicting anything should be tossed into the BS pile or at best used as examples of what NOT to do. FFS...just give PDJT an honorary MD PHD and get on with the winning!
WHY the actual F are we NOT USING HCQ+ like Trump insisted from the very beginning???
Anthony Fauci has a vested interest in keeping the Covid 19 thing going. He is making oodles of money from it.
