I would suggest a scenario where the Fauci-crowd had contracted these folks to perform x-tests, and the Chinese gov’t finally said ‘enough’....you can’t do this on Chinese soil.
So the company...hoping to continue to the Fauci-contracts, said ‘fine’, and moved them into the US without saying anything to the Fauci-crowd about ‘where’ the tests were being performed.
If you examine how this operation was discovered...it was purely the local county building inspector who stumbled upon it. News got into the local news, then the state news. National folks didn’t have much choice.
“If you examine how this operation was discovered...”
I read that it was a report of a garden hose through a window of an abandoned warehouse that was the original investigation. The building was fenced off with code enforcement signs not to occupy and power and water had been shut off by the city and someone reported the hose. I bet they were expecting to find homeless squatters and found a Chinese biolab instead.
