Make Fauci Testify Again

If a pardon had been accepted, a recipient would not be able to plead ‘the fifth’ because there would be no threat of incrimination

Fauci is one of the recipients of Biden’s preemptive pardons.

In late September of last year, the House Oversight Committee…subpoenaed National Institutes of Health’s Margaret Moore, who it alleged was “involved in a conspiracy” to teach people within Fauci’s office “how to evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and avoid public transparency related to the COVID-19 pandemic,” including destroying documents…Moore would decline to testify and invoke her right against self-incrimination.

The subterfuge in which Moore, aka “FOIA lady,” engaged was known when Fauci last testified before Congress in June. There, lawmakers probed him about the extent of his relationship with Dr. David Morens, who discussed how he made “emails disappear after” they were sought through a Freedom of Information Act request. Fauci said he “knew nothing of Dr. Moren’s actions,” and he maintained that he could not recall using his personal email account to conduct public business

Greg Folkers, Fauci’s former chief of staff, “misspelled keywords so they wouldn’t be flagged in FOIA searches.” Folkers would write “Ec~Health,” “g#in-of-function research,” and “anders$n” — as in Kristian Andersen, a co-author of a report rejecting the notion that Covid-19 was a byproduct of gain-of-function research — to frustrate investigators

Fauci has repeatedly denied that the NIH supported research of that kind at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, but the select committee maintains that the doctor’s testimony “was, at a minimum, misleading.”

given all these new details and Fauci’s immunized status, we should hear from him again quite soon.

Fauci and the others who have received a pardon cannot plead the Fifth, but they can have very poor memories. I’ll be surprised if future testimony achieves anything.

“I don’t recall“ can be prosecuted. Perjury.

“’I don’t recall’ can be prosecuted. Perjury.”

I assume that a pardon does not apply to the crime of perjury...? Maybe that’s how all of them can be caught.

The new DOJ should do a full investigation so the American public can see the extent of the criminality of all those pardoned by Biden. Should they lie under oath (perjury) or refuse to testify (contempt) they must be held accountable.

The same applies to the witch Liz Cheney and the drug addicted whore monger...

Note: Alger Hiss was found guilty of PERJURY, not espionage.

Trump should offer immunity from prosecution to those left out of the blanket pardons if they testify in front of congressional hearing that will be televised in prime time for al America to see

That sort of deal would have to be carefully constructed.

I seem to recall past occasions when someone was granted immunity in return for “bombshell” testimony and when it came time for them to testify, they basically said, “I know nothing. I never saw anyone do anything bad. They all seem like nice fellows. Thanks for the immunity.”

Law Question -

Since Biden was clearly mentally incapable the last few months when he handed out all these pardons, can those pardons now be ruled invalid?

Haven’t seen anyone pursue this legal angle yet ...

Trump’s maintaining a mild-mannered persona but don’t get him mad. If Trump tells them to wait, they’ll just have to wait.

Even if Fauci never serves a day in jail, make the rest of his life miserable existence.
