A pair of Republican senators on Wednesday night declared the U.S. Senate had unanimously passed their bill requiring the Biden administration to declassify intelligence related to the origins of COVID-19.
The bill, known as the COVID-19 Origin Act of 2023, specifically aims to investigate the possibility that the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China.
Republican Sens. Mike Braun and Josh Hawley reintroduced the bill on Monday after the Department of Energy (DOE) provided a classified intelligence report to the White House and certain members of Congress, which concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic most likely arose from a lab leak. The FBI had previously come to a similar conclusion.
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) made a request for unanimous consent of the bill, which was granted “without objection.” Unanimous consent enables a bill to pass without a recorded vote.
“Tonight the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed my bill to declassify all the intelligence the government has on #covid origins. Let the people see the truth!” Hawley wrote on Twitter.
In further comments during an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Hawley cited the importance of transparency and accountability in allowing the public to understand the origins of the pandemic.

Hawley told Watters that the bill needs to pass in the House of Representatives, “and then we can get this thing done.” They previously introduced a similar bill which passed unanimously in 2021.
The bill would require Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines to declassify the information in the U.S. government’s possession on the most likely origins of COVID-19.
“Listen, the American people—it’s past time—let’s show them what the government has. Let everybody see for themselves. Let everybody read it,” he told Fox News after the vote.
Braun also declared the unanimous passage of the motion, likewise calling on the House to pass the bill.
“The House needs to pass this bill to let the American people see the facts! President Biden can’t ignore this: time to let Americans decide for ourselves,” he wrote on Twitter.
On Monday, Hawley expressed concerns about the lack of transparency surrounding the pandemic’s origins, saying that for “nearly three years,” those questioning the Wuhan lab leak theory were “silenced and branded as a conspiracy theorist.”
However, the DOE’s report supports oft-maligned hypotheses that the virus emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is located nearby to a wet market broadly cited as the pandemic’s ground zero.
“Now, these prudent skeptics stand vindicated,” Hawley said in a statement.
“The Biden administration must immediately declassify all intelligence reports pertaining to the origins of COVID-19 and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The American people deserve to know the truth.”
Braun also criticized the Biden administration for its posturing on the lab leak theory.
“The Biden administration has called the lab leak theory a conspiracy theory from the beginning, and has only started to publicly admit they were wrong as the evidence becomes overwhelming,” Braun said in a statement.
Braun said that the Biden administration had kept information about the origins of COVID-19 a secret despite an earlier version of this bill passing the Senate unanimously in 2021.
“The American people deserve transparency, free from government censors or media spin. It’s time to declassify everything we know about COVID’s origins and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, now,” he said.
...
The Chinese regime has long dismissed the possibility of a lab leak, saying the virus’s origins “should not be politicized.” Its efforts to suppress the theory recently included warning Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX, not to share the lab leak report.
They were our labs in China. We funded their work.
The USA was doing advanced research on gain of function back in 2005
The Chicoms were years behind.
The USA CIA wanted an inside to what was going on at Whuhan labs.,
So they send the Corona virus formulas to China in order to have an inside contact.....meanwhile the Chicoms clammed up.
Was all over Bannon War room Pandemic yesterday.
The Wuhan lab at that time was level 3....what could go wrong..../s
For 3 years they were all in covering for China’s act of bio war against America but now that China is showing support for Russia instead of Ukraine they’re going to punish them and give the sheeple a reason to hate China and support a war against them.

Tell me
Does It Matter?
The Cover Up proves a conspiracy.
It's toothless and they all know it, that's why. The executive branch is in exclusive control of all classified information and congress can't declassify a single thing through legislation.
What it does is give the Biden administration reason to release some report details (probably cherry picked) under the cover of "well I had to."
Expect whatever is eventually released to make Trump look bad somehow.

Well, I will concede that determining the MOTIVE will be difficult.
Does it Matter? Well here’s the other concession I will make... The end result is STILL death, pain and suffering regarless of motive.
But in western law, MOTIVE is taken into account. The punishment for accidentally killing a pedestrian while driving vs. deliberately ramming a car onto the pedestrian to kill him is different.
For example: On the night of November 6, 1963, two days after her 17th birthday, Laura Welch ( now Mrs. Laura Bush ) ran a stop sign and struck another car, killing its driver. The victim was her close friend and classmate Michael Dutton Douglas.
Did she go to jail ? What was her punishment?
Now, consider this other case, On November 21, 2021, Darrell E. Brooks Jr. deliberately drove a sport utility vehicle (SUV) through the annual Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States, killing six people and injuring sixty-two others.
In both cases, people died. But I’m sure, if you were a juror, you would mete out different degrees of punishment in these two different cases.
HAHAHA We can trust it I am sure.
Fauxi Paid Dr.Kritian Anderson
18 Million dollars to Change
His Report on Wuhan. This happened in January 2020.

CONSPIRACY
Counselor..
Please stick to the thread.
Not saying this means the truth will come out but witnesses won’t have a fig leaf; They’ll have to lie or tell the truth. Figure we’ll know the true story in 25 years.
Will this be BEFORE or AFTER the 44,000 hours of J6 videos are released to the public (as also promised)?
If text is redacted, it's probably true.
***But Who Released it?
By “release” what do we exactly mean?
Was it done ACCIDENTALLY, or DELIBERATELY?***
I resist the word “leak”
Which all of the reports out there use.
It was NOT a leak, it was a
DELIBERATE LAUNCH!
A Launch of a Fauci/China/PRC/Military#CCP
BIO-WEAPON!
An ACT of War by China❗️
THIS:
...the international labs are linked—and it is not that “China” did it or the “US” did it but the trans-national Big Pharma/Big Medical Research folks are responsible with their “gain of function” research.
EXACTLY!
Fauci was working on gain of Function in USA in order to make a DEADLY Bio-Weapon virus.
Our Goverment put a stop to that, so Fauci moved his entire operation to the Wuhan lab in China
He went there too, and took several million dollars of our money to finance the weapon.
And to also bring the shoddy Wuhan lab up modern Lab standards.
Then he worked with Chinese Military Scientists to make the Bio-Weapon.
Then China had ppl infected until there were many of them.
Then they made a rule that NO ONE could fly from Wuhan to ANY place in China, but ONLY to Europe and the USA!
First went to Europe and then to New York City and all Western countries.
Many many flights to spread the death weapon to the world.
This was AN ACT OF WAR by China against the USA and te entire western world.
Remember in late January when Trump decreeded that no flights from China would be allowed to come to USA?
Then in February Fauci said Oh no danger from this.
The little elf was mad!
So he wormed his way into being the only “expert” on the virus. Why not, he created it!
Then he would only allow Remvesimir to be the treatment. Which was poison, and killed 1/2 of the ppl jabbed.
Fauci knew this as he had used it years ago and KNEW it would kill ppl.
He stopped the use of Hydroxyclorquine and Ivermectin because they would cure or prevent infection.
Dr Fauci = Dr Death.
BTW, Vaccine ILLEGAL because other drugs were effective.
Fauci and Big Pharma made BILLIONS and caused a million deaths.
Most could have been saved by the preventative drugs mentioned above; Ivermectin and Hydroxyclorquine
Someone in power needs to leak the tapes, because weak liar McCarthy got taken aside by Deep State who told him to not give the tapes to Tucker.
Too bad Kevin isn’t as strong as Pelosi was.
VERY WEAK SPEAKER!
My take:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4135109/posts?page=36#36
Thanks for the Bannon info, I didn’t see it.
Be careful here.
Do not let your being vindicated allow you to be gaslighted into war with China.
I have long held and put up more than one post suggesting that it was the Democrats who asked the Chinese to release a ‘little something’ in 2019. Knowing full well Trump is a germaphobe.
Dr. Fauci is the only one who could ‘pull that string.’ Recall how Pelosi paraded through Chinatown and how they mocked Trump for him shutting down flights etc. I maintain that Fauci not only knew, but orchestrated this little fiasco of a pandemic to get Biden into office.
Smoke and mirrors and if they do release the info how many people would read it.
The bitches are up to something
