Senator Holling. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Well, nothing says honesty like taking the fifth, huh, Doc?
Let's try something. What day of the week is it today?
On the advice of council, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the Constitution.
What color tie are you wearing?

What color is the carpet in front of you?

Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any rights under the fifth amendment because you've been pardoned, as you very well know, as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more. Brown versus Walker, 1896. When he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege. You know that. Your lawyers sitting behind you now shifting nervously in their chairs. They know it. This isn't about the Constitution. This isn't about the law. This is about contempt. Contempt for this body and contempt for the American people. But I think I know why you're doing it. It's because you don't want to answer questions. It's because you did all kinds of terrible things. It's because during the pandemic, you got rich, didn't you? You got rich while people were dying. Hundreds of thousands of Americans, over a million in the end, and you were getting rich. And not only were you doing that, you were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you personally. Cash prizes totaling over a million dollars. You did all of that during the pandemic, didn't you? That's a question.
On the advice of council, I respectfully declined to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the constitution.
Agree
A pardoned doesn’t rewrite history.
That’s mean to MAFIA; at least they had/have some semblance of honor. Fauci ... UGH. What I knew about him before was disgusting. Then today when it was exposed that he sought out cash prizes from various organizations, and had his staff help him. While people were DYING all over the country.
Ooooooh burn, it burns!!!!!!!
Hawley absolutely ROASTED Fauci for nine minutes straight, finally telling him he’s done the most to damage science in his (Hawley’s) lifetime, and then ended with “I hope you go home and write that down in your diary.”
That was one heck of an ass-kicking Hawley inflicted on Fauci. Low information voters watching may actually have felt sorry for the guy.
Hawley did great. Will any of this be on ABCNBCCNNCBS....no!! Fox News will have some.
Thanks for posting that.
The full 9 minute video is amazing.
Great cross examination.
Yes to first question and No to second question.

101 times.
He kept a diary of his crimes on a government computer. Untouchable arrogance.
fauchi and his pathetic wife are sociopaths. They will never experience shame no matter what they do.
