Dr. Fauci pleads the 5th 111 times today

My understanding is as follows:

While Fauci has immunity and could probably admit to everything that was revealed in his diaries, that doesn't protect the dozens of staffers he employed who carried out his wishes.

Law enforcement could easily indict other members of his staff and other high level Democrats who helped with the cover up.

It also would give a lot of fodder to the Republicans as they go into the Midterms worried about their re-election chances.

I'm sure it was very uncomfortable for him, but Fauci really had no other choice but to plead the 5th.

He will likely be held in contempt. Not that anything will come of it.

His pardon was autopen, so invalid

Christ how 2020 is this post?

He's concerned about his image. The country? Nope. His image. He's an evil bastard. The Hannibal Lecter of his time.

Nothing says
Trust the science like pleading the 5th..

This is deeper than the rat.
Protect fauci, you protect Obama, CIA, Ukraine biolabs, illegal research

Has anyone else noticed that ever since Covid started, it had only been people on the right that
have been interested in finding out WHY and HOW Covid started?

Not one Democrat is interested in getting to the bottom of what happened.

It makes me think they are protecting something, or someone.

Fauci's pre-emptive pardon goes all the way back to 2014, what was happening in 2014 that
he needs protection from?

Like a broken record huh?

So what? Isn't pleading the 5th a constitutional right?

It's also clear that this is a witch hunt designed to expose him to criminal liability and/or perjury allegations rather than attempting to establish the facts.

Which, as we know, are anathema to the GOP.

(P.S. His gain of function research at the Wuhan lab is not established fact either)

He is a terrified old man whose ego can never allow him to be honest with himself or others.
