Rand Paul: I Will Be Seeking a Criminal Referral Against Fauci for Lying to Congress

Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity that he would be seeking criminal action against National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress about his connection to green-lighting research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The Kentucky Republican lawmaker said Fauci “should be punished.”

“You kicked off your questioning of Dr. Fauci, emphasizing federal law makes lying to Congress a felony punishable by up to five years in prison,” Hannity said. “Is it your belief based on the evidence, Senator, that he lied before Congress and broke the law?”

“Yes, and I will be sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress,” Paul replied. “We have scientists that were lined up by the dozens to say that the research he was funding was gain-of-function. He’s doing this because he has a self-interest to cover his tracks and to cover his connection to Wuhan lab. Now, does he deserve all the blame? No, there’s still some conjecture as to whether or not it came from the lab. But he’s lying about whether or not he funded gain-of-function research, and yes, he should be punished.”

Fauci should be in Prison for Perjury and on Death Row for the murder of 4 million humans worldwide.

He knows how to do research and put it in terms we can all understand.

I hope Congress calls Fauci right back again. No time to tame his shattered nerves.

Sadly, he is not mine. Our two are useless hairy screed crew members. One is up for the 2022 cycle and pretty sure hairy screed and friends will ensure she takes a second term.

Well, you’re right... this will precisely nowhere with Biden-Harris (Obama) justice department... but, still, right on, Rand Paul, for saying it. I really like this guy.

Yes. And much reviled on the FR for his lack of “purity” or whatever.

The chance of the DOJ following up on this are nil. But, at the very least he’s getting it out there and taking a bit of the gleam off of Saint Fauci’s halo.

“Yes, and I will be sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress,” Paul replied.

Kudos to Rand Paul, who I respect a lot. But the DOJ will do nothing, and he knows it. I guess that's the best we can do now, though.

Of course nothing will happen, but it’s still important to demand adherence to the rule of law while we can. It’s truely important to fully exhaust all options before more drastic measures have to be taken.
