Fauci Now in Contempt of Congress. Will DOJ Prosecute?

For years, Sen. Rand Paul and his office have done the investigatory work that the mainstream press simply wouldn’t - to thoroughly examine the available evidence to determine if the man most responsible for deciding COVID protocol during the global pandemic was in any way responsible for the creation of the virus and the outbreak, responsible for covering it up including his complicity, and also promoting false information that in hindsight might have been detrimental to millions.

In 2021, Sen. Paul asked Fauci if his National Institutes of Health had ever funded gain-of-function research. Fauci denied. Paul gave him a chance to retract that statement, noting that lying to Congress was a crime. Fauci maintained that he was not lying.

He even got aggressive.

Earlier this month, after Paul had amassed even more evidence, Fauci was subpoenaed before the Senate committee where he was asked similar questions. He plead the 5th Amendment 111 times.

Why would he refuse to answer when President Joe Biden had already issued him a blanket pardon for any and all potential crimes?

That was the basis of the contempt charge.

Fauci in Contempt of Congress

On Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security Committee found Fauci in Contempt of Congress by an 8-5 vote along party lines.

Committee Chairman Paul said, “Holding a witness in contempt is a serious thing, and it should be rare. But the contempt power exists for precisely this circumstance.”

After Thursday’s contempt vote, Paul senior adviser Doug Stafford gave a summary of what the next steps should be for Fauci.
