Turns Out Fauci May Not Be Able To Slither Away From Justice After All

CORRUPTION

Dr. Anthony Fauci was granted a presidential pardon by Joe Biden before leaving the White House. Why? Well, now we know exactly why.

The reason behind it was brought to light by former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who exposed it shortly before her departure earlier month. Fauci claimed that the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research on the COVID virus, despite evidence to the contrary. On her way out the door, she dropped bombshells on that little puke:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made a major move on her final day in the Trump administration on Thursday, announcing that she would release a series of communications and documents that she says show Dr. Anthony Fauci directed millions of taxpayer dollars toward gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, worked to suppress the COVID-19 lab-leak theory and later lied about those efforts to Congress under oath.

“Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024,” Gabbard wrote on X.

“The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe,” she added in her nearly five-minute-long video.

But the pardon…right? Um, yeah. Not so fast, per ace investigative reporter Catherine Herridge:

Per Herridge:

Based on the records declassified by DNI Gabbard, what we know now is that under Fauci’s tenure, the NIH funded high risk “Gain of Function” research at the Wuhan lab in China.

According to Senator Paul, Fauci lied to Congress about the NIH’s role and use of US taxpayer dollars to fund research on the coronavirus. Senator Paul also alleged Fauci destroyed government records which, on its face, is a felony crime. There are two statutes that criminalize the destruction of government records, 18 U.S.C. § 2071 and 18 U.S.C. § 1519.

It is worth noting Fauci’s testimony where he denied NIH had financed gain-of-function research in 2021: “Sen. Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

In this 2023 clip, Fauci urges COVID-19 vaccine boosters. Fauci claims there is no data supporting safety concerns about the vaccine, which we now know is demonstrably false.

There is evidence some of the most adverse reactions were experienced by young people with robust immune systems who were in the best position to fight COVID infection.

I was told by a veteran of the Justice Department that there are three viable and somewhat unconventional legal strategies.

One strategy calls for charging Fauci with a crime, with the expectation he would file a motion with the court to dismiss based on the pardon. This could open the door to challenging the sweeping pardon’s viability.

Another strategy involves Congress. The pre-emptive pardon complicates Fauci’s scheduled testimony later this month. Because Fauci has been pre-emptively pardoned against past and future criminal charges related to his NIH work, Fauci has no plausible claim to the 5th Amendment, the right against self-incrimination.

If Fauci tried to take the Fifth at Senator Paul’s hearing, the committee could go to a judge to compel his testimony. A finding of contempt could follow.

Finally, one of Fauci’s closest associates has been criminally charged. With pressure and the right incentives he might be flipped and become a cooperating witness.

Dr. David Morens, who was a senior advisor to Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was indicted on multiple charges including conspiracy and obstruction, including destruction, alteration or falsification of federal records.

Along with allegations that personal email accounts were used to evade the Freedom of Information Act, this could be a powerful motivator.

The question now becomes whether the Justice Dept. under President Trump wants to take on this case. My vote is heck yes; the carnage this man is ‘allegedly’ responsible for is far too great to let him just get away with it.
