Why Anthony Fauci could've faced five years in jail if Biden hadn't pardoned him
The Daily Mail ^ | 20 Jan 2025 | CASSIDY MORRISON

Posted on 01/22/2025 7:16:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Dr Anthony Fauci was given a pre-emptive pardon by outgoing President Biden on Monday - likely due to fears he could be charged with perjury by Trump's DOJ.

The former White House advisor has long been accused of misleading Congress under oath about funding risky virus research in Wuhan before the Covid pandemic.

While Fauci had not been charged with a crime, there were growing calls among Republicans - including Elon Musk - to charge the 84-year-old with perjury, which carries a prison sentence of at least five years.

In a May 2021 Senate hearing on the origins of Covid, Dr Fauci said his old agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, had ‘not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.’

But emails showed that in February 2020 Dr Fauci, NIH head Dr Francis Collins, and Dr Peter Daszak, head of the company that dispersed grants to the WIV, EcoHealth alliance acknowledged that scientists at Wuhan University were working on GOF experiments to study bat viruses adapting to human infection prior to the outbreak in Wuhan.

In one email, Dr Fauci admits the scientists had concerns that Covid might have been genetically engineered and that these were worsened by the fact that gain-of-function research was taking place in Wuhan before the pandemic.

Dr Fauci, whose pardon extends all the way back to 2014, has since claimed that he was using a different definition of GOF during his Senate hearing.

If the Department of Justice had pursued criminal charges against Fauci, prosecutors would have had to prove that Dr Fauci made a false statement and knew it was false, but deliberately misstated the facts.

There is still time for him to commit more perjury.

Five years?!? Really? He effing KILLED people (and puppies).

I read today on one thread here that Putin wants to extradite him to Russia to be tried for crimes against humanity or similar. So he’s pardoned for America. But ... Siberia ...

Maybe Trump made a long distance call...?

Fauci is an architect of mass murder, a project he started on the 1970s with the AZT ‘cure’ for AIDS. There are a lot of people who want him dead.

Just remove his 24/7 government-paid security detail and let street justice take care of him.

It’ll be a bad day if we ever hear Fauci killed himself instead of somebody doing it for him

Fauci, among other things, is a scared little pussy.
He hired private security after his secret service protection was yanked.
He would spill the beans in few seconds if cornered in a dark alley by masked men. Sooner or later, he’ll get what he deserves.

Haul him up in front of Rand Paul again. Let him admit perjury before the pardon and see if he does it again and see if any other names come up.

Five years! That’s all after millions of people died because of him? That’s ridiculous.

Also, Fauci allowed the genetic technology that created the Gain of Function to be leaked to the Chinese.

Try, convict, and sentence him. Then let him walk so people know exactly what Biden gave him a pardon for.

Also, these pardons are the perfect setup for a perjury trap if they try to tell more lies to protect other bad actors who are just as guilty as Fauci.

Only if the person in question holds the office legitimately. If, as in the case of the 2020 election, the election was the subject of widespread cheating and tampering, as an honest investigation would reveal; then every act by Joseph Biden would be deemed corrupt, null and void; including all the corrupt so-called pardons and commutations.

The biggest thing was Twitter and Facebook banning anyone from sharing that infamous New York Post article during October ‘20. That was election interference.

And he still could face charges in other countries and be extradited to them. I say NK would be a good choice.
