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.
@DogMan It was developed in the Wuhan Institute of Virology who entire existence was dedicated to "gain of function" research and was actively developing viruses similar to Covid 19.
The only question that still remains is if it was released intentionally, or escaped accidentally.
@SumKindaMunster Congratulations on solving a question that U.S. intelligence agencies, virologists and international investigators all say remains unresolved.
@AdmiralPrune Well I'm gonna asume your dear ol' ma was not one of the unfortunate people who died alone gasping for breath because nobody was allowed to visit her.
Cuz if she was, you might feel a little differently about all this.
Knowing that an elderly relative died alone due to the incompetence and cover up regarding the Covid 19 pandemic would be a real tough thing to get through. Fauci was the ultimate authority on this, and he failed miserably.
@SumKindaMunster You are right. But why do we let this happen? I would break through the doors to get to my relative. Prune is a Brit and would say that is breaking the rules.
@emiliya Thank you. I was very fortunate that during the Covid 19 pandemic, none of my elderly relatives caught a serious case of it.
All of my grandparents were dead by the time the pandemic happened. I was actually grateful for that, I'm not sure how I would have responded had one of them been stuck in a nursing home due to Covid.
To this day No One knows anything about Covid. The science does not know where it came from or how it came to be. And we still do not know how to keep it from happening again.
But if you have scientific information that deviates from the Fauci/DNC narrative, you will still be cancelled, even though no one has facts, and there is no scientific consensus.
@Waveney If anyone really believed Covid came from a wet market, they would have been shut down.
The only reason people believe the wet market narrative is because scientists were given multi million dollar grants to say Covid "Likely" came from nature. And anyone that said anything to the contrary was censored, deplatformed, or fired. This happened after Fauci, Dr. Birx, and Obama met. What you think they talked about? Recipes? Grandkids? the weather?
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?
@DogMan LOL so by that logic, all labs should be banned, all schools should be banned, all stuffy conference rooms should be banned lol .Anywhere where a disease could possibly spread should be banned! We should ALL be banned! 😂😂😂
@waveny blocked me because I saw some posts where he was roleplaying with "littles", people roleplaying as children. I asked him if he worked with underage or vulnerable children because that would be troubling to hear considering his role playing activity on here. 😆
@carpediem I had to block Elwood Blues. Not because of what he wrote, but because he was taking over every post I made. He would flood them with long diatribes, graphs, & memes as if his life depended on shutting down right wing conversation. I believe some of these guys are paid to disrupt all conservative conversation.
@DogMan Yeah "Peckerwood Blues" is relentless regarding Covid and the Covid 19 mRNA vax, I blocked him awhile ago because he is so tedious and repetitive.
Sadly, people don't have to be paid to do this, they are feriously indoctrinated and are triggered by data and information that doesn't dovetail their preferred narratives.
@DogMan the left determined long ago that climate change was driven by humans and the best way to combat it is population reduction. Obama commissioned fauci to find a way to depopulate the world. If they gained control over elections it was an added benefit. Democrats saw an opportunity to attempt to blame republicans for their crimes and took it.
@MasterLee That would not surprise me. I did hear Fauci & Dr. Brix met with Obama in early 2020 just after Covid started. I wonder what they talked about? It's not like Obama was POTUS.
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)
