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.”

Thank you Rand Paul for having the balls to do this. It will be interesting the see this play out.
Personally, I think FuaXi will join the long list of criminals (Hildebeaste, Comey, Brennan, et al) that have committed crimes and gotten away with it. I suspect FauXi will come up with some lame reason to retire and we’ll never hear from him again.
The leftist a-holes are still trying to bring criminal charges against PDJT, on weak, flimsy grounds so turnabout’s fair play
Yes he is. Trey Goudy was on FOX saying the two doctors just see to have a conversation! Unbelievable what a sniveling wimp this guy is.
DOJ will have to “Circle Back on That”.
Yes, I saw that and had to laugh. It has nothing to do with FAUXI or Paul disagreeing and “working” out their differences in private. It is a serious public concern, having everything to do with “we the people” who should hear every damn thing that goes on in that cesspool.
Sadly, FauXi beat you to it.
January 6, 2021.
Like others, this is theater.
If ol’Rand was serious, he’d sue the crap out of Fauci for slander.
But recommended him to the DOJ in a Democrat administration?
Yeah, bet there will be LOTS of results, bwahahaha!
And that’s what they all know.
When it comes down to the punch. The NSA is the all seeing eye of Horus. Rear your head up in resistance, and they will find the day and the crime, and ask you politely to refrain from further comment unless you would like that information to be made public.
You see, people violate our laws daily. You (reader in general, not rktman specifically) have violated the law today. The NSA probably knows. They have enough location data to connect you possibly to something you were NOT involved with, but hey, its the seriousness of the accusation, because you were close by and all.
And here is the problem with a surveillance state. No one is innocent. And they now have the evidence to prove it.
You see, all that clap about if you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about is actually true, mostly. But most of us have dialy minor infractions of some law. Good day!
Politicians are considered to be public figures and usually can’t sue for libel successfully.
I wish Rand Paul was my congressman. IâÂÂm stuck with Adam Kinzinger, but not for long, we are gonna primary him OUT next year.
I do not like being stabbed in the back by the guy I voted for.
Rand Paul is a United States Senator, not Congressman.
Thanks for the correction, I should have known that.
I WILL rememberðÂÂÂ
