He's guilty af and knows they're gunning for him. Fauci's head is a huge prize to whoever gets it. Fauci should flee to some country where he won't be extradited.

I plead the Fifth

Better question is why was Fauci given a presidential pardon before he was ever accused of a crime!

Shit I want one of those then so I can go rob a bank!

It’s his right.
Probably saving taxpayers money.
“They” aren’t going to do anything to one of their own.
The swamp is running out the clock on the President.

It makes perfect sense. The committee and the MAGA base already made up their mind about his guilt before he appeared, so no defense would have been good enough. At best it wouldn't make a difference and at worst it would give them material to take out of context for propaganda and cheap attention. Best to only give them only one thing instead.

It was a Rand Paul circus act. I don't blame him for not participating in it. Why ddi Paul kick Fauci's attorney out?

He had ALREADY received a Presidential pardon. His diaries revealed a smarmy narcissist, and also revealed that MOST of what that creep PUT us all through was unnecessary.

His LAWYERS told him to plead the fifth, which is a typical slimy lawyer thing to do...BUT as It turns out, pleading the 5th wasn't exactly wise legal procedure when testifying before Congress.

NOW the States are going after him. They won't succeed, because it is a Federal issue...but they can keep him in court for years and bankrupt him with legal costs.

It is his right, and it does not indicate guilt.

MAGA had no problem when Trump pleaded the 5th many, many times during his hearings.

Why are they so angry now?

It's what anyone would do.

It was done on the advice of his attorneys....the whole purpose of bringing him in was to try to trip him up and get him to say anything that might possibly give them fuel to go after him.
He is smart enough to follow his attorney's advice.

pleading the 5th after receiving a pardon...

Isn't that like wearing a mask after getting vaccine? 🤔

anything he says honestly incriminates him to hell and the people who put him up to his lying propaganda in the first place he's a ☠ man 😒

Considering the current administration is prosecuting anyone who hurt their feelings whether wrongdoing occurred or not it is best not to hand them ammunition.

It is the smart move since he is scapegoat of the week right now.

Maybe this is a crazy Canadian question but what the hell is he being accused of? lol
