The deposition of Anthony Fauci took place today in the lawsuit commenced by Louisiana and Missouri, alleging that numerous Biden administration officials colluded with and directed big tech and social media giants to censor dissenting scientific and medical voices with regard to Covid.
We covered the case and the court order for Fauci (and others) to testify under oath in these posts:
We don’t know much about what happened. The deposition, while it was recorded, was not streamed. And there apparently is a protective order prohibiting the parties or those in attendance from separately recording.
In advance of the deposition, Missouri Attorney General (and Senator-elect) Eric Schmitt promised they would attempt to get answers from Fauci:
“Tomorrow, along with my colleague from Louisiana, my Office and I will depose Dr. Anthony Fauci in our lawsuit against the Biden Administration for allegedly colluding with social media companies to censor freedom of speech,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “Since we filed our landmark lawsuit, we have uncovered documents and discovery that show clear coordination between the Biden Administration and social media companies on censoring speech, but we’re not done yet. We plan to get answers on behalf of the American people. Stay tuned.”
Well, it’s not clear how many answers were given. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who attended the deposition, tweeted that Fauci had a lack of memory
Wow! It was amazing to spend 7 hours with Dr. Fauci. The man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon “the science.” Only to discover that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!
Jenin Younes, an attorney from the New Civil Liberties Alliance, representing the physicians and scientist who were attacked after signing The Great Barrington Declaration, was present, and observed:

I don’t have time to worry about things like the Great Barrington Declaration.”
The other one, which I didn’t write down carefully enough to claim is verbatim, is: I was too busy developing a vaccine that saved millions of lives to care about what happens on social media.
At some point we’ll find out more about the deposition, and what Fauci forgot.
Fauci is leaving his post in December, before Republicans take control of the House. He will be the subject of House committee investigations and will be subpoenaed to testify.

His clot shot turned his brain to jello!
Guilty as hell.
Nothing will happen. He’s an old pro at this.
Dementia is the final common out for all of them
Fauci is just like every other career bureaucrat and political appointee: A soulless, selfish, lying POS.
I have made plenty of mistakes in my life and done many things I am ashamed of, but those things were not the focus of my life. But with bureaucrats like Fauci, their entire career and existence revolves around lying, cheating, stealing and destroying people’s lives. How does a person atone for an entire life of doing that? Is it even possible? And at what point does a person like Fauci willfully decide it’s OK to destroy people’s lives, and also cause people to lose their lives based upon a lie?
I never liked or trusted that sawed-off little midget to begin with, but now I am quite certain he is an evil little man without a soul or conscience.
Hubris. But at lease he wants to take ownership of the clot shot.
In case y’all are holding out hope that Fauci is going to be held accou table for what he’s done tbroughout his multiple decades of poor decisions, now is your chance to come to terms with the fact that he won’t.
Congress may drag him up to testify and he may appear, but he will never admit to anything criminal, never agree that his previous statements are contradictory, and even if they were, that it was misrepresenting the facts at the time, and whatcha gonna do about it?
The best you can hope for is the libs deciding to turn Trump into the Covid scapegoat as an election tactic and Fauci gets caught up in that smearing.
Absolute scumbag.
One of my favorite quotes from Fauci’s deposition today: “I have a very busy day job running a six billion dollar institute. I don’t have time to worry about things like the Great Barrington Declaration.”

Which we learned was a lie as there are emails from Fauci on how to tamp down and discredit the Barrington Declaration.
He will act like Hillary before congress - “I don’t recall”.
However, he has the top tier arrogance for swamp creatures and he and his compatriots memorialized much of their “response” in emails. He is also already showing the preferred tool of bureaucrat bigwigs everywhere and blaming everyone else too.
The emails and notes of those he now blames are where the real facts are located.
Everything else is just spin.
As if anyone wants his secrets known.
Immediately thought of Rush and his parody of Hillary. Try to Remember is the song, with Hillary ‘testifying.’

The old Hillary technique.
“I can’t remember.”
The Hillary gambit: when you’re caught red handed. feign absolutely no recollection of the event. It’s better than having to confess or explain your reprehensible conduct.
I wonder if he’ll get away with this sort of massive dissimilation during his trial for war crimes against humanity in the Hague Court?
If it served their side the MSM would interpose Fauci saying “ I am science” with clips of him saying I don’t know, I dont remember…
Ask him if he is fully boosted.
I can’t recall.
Then vax him, starting with #1, and bring him up to date.
Faking a bad memory like Muller
The old Steve Martin response: “IIIIIII forgot!”.
Play him the video of his statementsBefore asking him: Which one is the lie?
