A top adviser at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) deleted records critical to uncovering the origins of COVID-19 — and used a “secret back channel” to help Dr. Anthony Fauci and a federal grantee that funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, evade transparency.
NIH senior adviser Dr. David Morens improperly conducted official government business from his private email account and solicited help from the NIH’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office to dodge records requests, according to emails revealed in a memo by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which The Post obtained Wednesday.
“[I] learned from our foia [sic] lady here how to make emails disappear after I am foia’d [sic] but before the search starts,” Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021, email. “Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail [sic].”
“I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail [sic],” he emphasized again in a Nov. 18, 2021, email to EcoHealth Alliance president Dr. Peter Daszak, whose organization was suspended this month from receiving federal funds for the next three years and who was himself proposed for debarment on Wednesday.
In the most shocking exchange, on May 28, 2021, NIH’s Office of the General Counsel instructed the agency’s FOIA office to “not release anything having to do with EcoHealth Alliance/WIV,” referring to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“[T]here is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail [sic], or hand it to him at work or at his house,” Morens wrote in an April 21, 2021, email. “He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble.”

Watergate? What Watergate?
Nuremberg II
Typical of today’s bureaucrats.
Criminal behavior.
No consequence.
Why do you think HRC was running her own server? If it could be derogatory or a potential issue in the future, do it through alternative communication channels where you have control of the information, have meetings on tarmacs, don’t do it in writing (keep it oral)... Of course use the classification system to hide it... And then when caught destroy the evidence and never face any repercussions.
Now they use gmail
By the way the cops (or investigators ) can easily get at that. I wonder why they use it and feel it’s safe....
It’s a good thing I’m not a tinfoil conspiracy guy or I’d think there’s something suspicious going on for some time now.
Oh, at BTW, Nuremberg II. Now.
[Nuremberg II]
Yes.
His answer to a lot of everything was it was just dark humor.
Sounds like the Hilery/teeny-boppereaqe style defense of “I don’t remember” and I don’t recall”. The Paul Shanklin song nails it.
Fauci should be on trial.
And again NOTHING HAPPENS. It’s SOP for these committee investigations.
They could find several videos of someone under investigation for murder that show the actual murder being committed in front of of a 100 eye witnesses and the guy confesses and the he walks free... That’s the result of a congressional investigation.
LOL! A good analogy.
Things could change though. Maybe after November ?
Cops and investigators can easily get at that if they want to. There's no desire to do so, and as such, it remains a perfectly safe and easy means of dodging federal archiving and record preservation requirements and FOIA inquiries.
Indict David for numerous offenses.
I’ve been sifting through the emails. It appears to me Fauci committed perjury in previous testimony about wether he knew Daszak. If my memory serves me correctly he said he didn’t know who he was and if he did meet him, it was at a conference. Morens’s emails suggest it wasn’t a memory lapse.
I watched part of that hearing, the guy is playing dumb, quite obvious. Lock him up.
Most of the tough questions Fauci faced was in committee with Rand so perhaps look on YouTube as everything will be there
They should summon the sgt. at arms.
🤣🤣
Actually, joking aside they can actually do that?
November?
Wait a minute; who OWNS the voting system? Oh, but wait another minute; WHO was Tony’s boss at the time?
