Dr. Anthony Fauci declined to answer senators’ questions at a hearing Wednesday on the origins of Covid and the government’s handling of the pandemic, saying in prepared remarks that he would invoke his 5th Amendment right not to testify to avoid the possibility that Republicans could try to use his testimony to prosecute him for perjury.
The surprise decision shook up the hearing, which was expected to be contentious given Fauci’s previous public clashes with Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky.

He’s lawyered up.
Is Rand talking off-the-cuff ??? He’s doing great
He was warned

Dr. Anthony Fauci argues for gain-of-function research in 2013.
At 4:20 He presents a slide from a New York Times editorial “An Engineered Doomsday” which pointed out if a virus escaped a lab it could kill millions. He claims safeguards have been put in place to prevent that

RAND PAUL to Dr. Fauci:
“The question is WHY? The only logical answer is that your primary concern was avoiding culpability! Your primary concern was HIDING the fact that YOU had approved the funding for this dangerous research. Your support of gain-of-function research is extensive and longstanding.”
“In 2011, your agency funded Ron Fouchier’s laboratory when it mutated the avian flu and until it could spread through the air between mammals!”
“This was the tipping point. This is when others became worried you funded this, you advocated for this.”
“The federal government’s own biosecurity board, though, recommended withholding the details of these experiments because of the danger the research posed.”
“People were concerned that publishing it was publishing a roadmap to creating bio-weapons around the world. But you sided with the gain-of-function scientist Fouchier and argued that the benefits of publishing the research far outweighed the risk.”
“You defended this avian flu, transmissibility experiments as critical research. You wrote that even if a scientist became infected and triggered a pandemic, the benefits of the gain-of-function experiments outweighed the risk.”

Evil ol maggot his hands are shaking during his statement ..... The rest of the hearing must be Rand Paul exposing Fauci...then Fauci taking the 5th.
Ray Charles could see this clearly.
The vile SOB should be publicly hanged at high noon on a Saturday for all the world to witness... Make it a Pay-Per-View event with the proceeds going to the families that lost loved ones due to this evil basstid....
Better yet, just drop him off anywhere in middle America with no security and let the People deal with this demonic POS as they see fit. Spit.
Ranking Dem at the Fauci hearing says there’s no need to “relitigate the past.”
Dem Sen. Peters couldn’t get through an opening statement about Fauci and the COVID-19 pandemic without mentioning January 6th.
A slithering snake.
Senator Paul has educated himself on Covid and the vaccines. Very well prepared.

Sen Rand Paul is systematically laying out the case of Fauci’s record of contradictions and duplicity. I previously noted that what was most disturbing about Fauci’s record was his silence as the media and academic groups attacked scientists who raised doubts about the origin theories and COVID measures. They were fired or removed from positions despite being later vindicated. Fauci, who was clearly obsessed with his own fame, said nothing to defend such dissenters...

...The new evidence shows a striking disconnect between what Fauci was saying publicly and what he was saying privately, including in his own diary entries. It also shows a disturbing level of coordination with media figures in maintaining the public narrative...

...Paul just noted that Fauci’s assistant said that she deleted “tons” of records while Fauci denied such destruction. He also noted that Fauci told his associates to delete communications “after reading it.” He reminded Fauci that it is a crime to destroy records...
Sen. Rand Paul announces Dr. Fauci is officially OBSTRUCTING an investigation by Congress today by pleading the 5th and there will be “consequences”
Fauci’s illegal activity happened AFTER THE BIDEN PARDON, meaning he’s now VULNERABLE.
“The Chairman has denied your assertion of privilege and directed you to answer. But you nonetheless refuse and stand on privilege despite the existence of the pardon.”
“The Committee will have to consider, after this hearing, what appropriate action should be taken against you for the failure to testify after being directed to do so.”
“It’s against the law to obstruct an investigation of Congress. There will be repercussions to your refusal to testify today.”
Dr. Fauci says Rand Paul has an “UNHINGED OBSESSION WITH ME,” all while he can’t keep his paper still during his opening statement.
“Given Senator Paul’s obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything, that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, ‘behind bars,’ unquote.”
“Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion. Therefore, although it pains me to do so, because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.”
LOL. No one is more obsessed with Fauci than Fauci himself.
Was the pardon signed by Biden himself or by the Autopen machine?
So, as expected, Rand Paul will accomplish exactly nothing....Rand Paul and Tom Massie - two peas in a do-nothing pod.
>>Sen. Rand Paul announces Dr. Fauci is officially OBSTRUCTING an investigation by Congress today by pleading the 5th and there will be “consequences”
I predict another strongly worded letter from Rand Paul.
I’m shocked....not
I’m loving Laura Ingraham making faces and rollimg her eyes over Fauci’s shoulder.
Must see TV.
Throw in Mitch - thanks Kentucky!
