After Fauci Email Proves Link with Zuckerberg, House Republicans Hit Facebook with One Demand That Could Change Everything

Did conversations between Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Anthony Fauci have anything to do with the social media platform’s crackdown on COVID-related speech? House Republicans would like to know.

After an exchange between the two showed up in the Fauci email dump last week, Kentucky Rep. James Comer and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan — the ranking Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform and the House Judiciary Committee, respectively — sent a letter to Zuckerberg on Wednesday demanding the CEO of the social media giant surrender any communications the company has had with Fauci and other federal employees involving the coronavirus, Just the News reported.

“In light of Facebook’s subsequent censorship of certain COVID-19 content — including content about the pandemic’s origin — these communications with Dr. Fauci raise the prospect that the federal government induced Facebook to censor certain speech in violation of the First Amendment,” the letter read.

Comer and Jordan requested “all documents and communications between or among Facebook employees referring or relating to any request by any U.S. government official to censor or moderate content related to COVID-19.”

The letter came amid a rapid one-two punch of bad publicity for the Menlo Park, California-based tech giant in regard to COVID-19. Comer and Jordan want to know if they’re related.

Late last month, in response to a series of reports that indicated the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, might not be as outré as many believed — and that “gain of function” research, which can increase a pathogen’s transmissibility or virulence, also wasn’t out of the question — Facebook announced it would “no longer remove the claim that Covid-19 is man-made from our apps.”

Zuckerberg provided the dems with lots of walking around money. There ought to be a prison cell somewhere for his effort.

Objective: to “surrender any communications the company has had with Fauci.”

Ethical, since Fauci is works for a public office that demands transperancy.

A lot of stink has been raised since Trump entered the stage. It was like lighting a match and the rats scattered.. in the scattering, they became visible..
Turn the switch on and 2 plus 2 does equal 4.

Fauci becomes more and more snake among snakes.

Ya know what the devil wanted in the beginning?
Power.. the #1 among the hierarchy..
And
Control.. to keep the power over all the others.

And today.. zukerberg.. just to name one.. is buying power and control..

In the end... for them..nothing.. zero.

No, he’s focused like a laser beam on exonerating Trump and nailing Hillary. Better leave him alone.

He has lied under oath before and nothing was done. I really don’t think a strongly worded letter has him worried

Why not require Fauci to hand over all correspondence with Zuckerberg?

Yes. Providing money to election officials is bribery. Crystal clear.

“I really don’t think a strongly worded letter has him worried”

In almost every weekly email to constituents my GOP Congress critter and senators brag about writing a “strongly worded letter” to Democrat politician or government bureaucrat. Never does the Republican elected official report on the response to the letter or any action taken. Letter writing is all window dressing and noise from people who actually accomplish nothing. Words do not matter. Results matter.

Well of course the little Dr. Mengele wannabe had conversations with his fellow One World Government types. Had to protect his commie Red Chinese doings.

This is what Fauci should be worried about and I hear he is already. lawyered up:

Nuremberg 2.0

It’s coming.

The only thing that will stop it is a diversion such as China moving against us with cyberattacks and even military.

Think it can’t happen?

They have every reason to do so and with a pro-China, mentally deficient occupant in the White House now is their golden opportunity.
