Summary
Sen. Rand Paul is pressuring the Justice Department to indict Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress about gain-of-function research, despite a preemptive pardon from President Joe Biden. The statute of limitations on the alleged crime expires Monday. Paul has renewed a criminal referral to the DOJ and is chairing a Senate hearing on the “COVID coverup” with a whistleblower. Fauci has denied lying to Congress, and the nature of the alleged lie revolves around the definition and denials of gain-of-function research surrounding COVID-19.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Rand Paul is keeping up the pressure on “the COVID coverup” with a Senate hearing. The clock is ticking for the DOJ to indict Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out. The Biden pardon and Fauci’s statute of limitations expiration Monday shields the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. The process has entered a familiar phase, with accusations of lying to Congress and denials of gain-of-function research.
The scene feels like a familiar routine, with Paul and Fauci engaging in a well-rehearsed dance of accusations and denials.
