Fauci pleading the Fifth, a lot

So, I watched the videos of Fauci in front of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

Here’s my takeaways, somewhat in the style of MST3K and are my opinions and thoughts only.

James Comer, the chair of the House Oversight Committee needs to be taken out and bitch slapped into next week after he said on Fox News: “Biden’s pardon doesn’t cover Dr. Fauci’s testimony this week and if he continues to lie, he must be held accountable.”

This little throwaway might have had something to do with Fauci pleading the Fifth over a hundred times. Not that he was going to say anything anyway, but not sure why Comer put himself on Fauci’s team–he’s already got lawyers.

Speaking of lawyers, definitely a boss move to have one of Fauci’s thrown out. You can’t plead the Fifth but have someone else sockpuppet for you. Yay Rand Paul.

Josh Hawley: The Man. You could tell he was having a great time. Pointing out that Fauci used federal resources and staff to get and keep cash awards for his actions as a federal employee was genius since that was something that wasn’t widely known. Everything that came out of his mouth was a masterclass in smackdown. Read some of what he said here.

A shoutout to Senator Fetterman, who, in deference to the American people and the gravity of the hearing, not only showed up in a suit and tie, but said in part (read the whole thing here):

Now there was a really advanced lab that was close by and then you have this unknown virus out. So, but that became a very partisan thing. And now it seems now it’s more and more emerging theory that that would have come from from the lab.

Now, you know, I hope I think that the next time our nation’s facing something like this, we are not become, you know, as I might have been blinded by the partisan idea that maybe the truth might come from a side that’s different than than you are. But I think we should really be willing to pursue truth no matter where that may have emerged, you know, after for all of that. So, and I now see the the remain back to the chair. Thank you.

As for Fauci himself, there wasn’t a snowball’s chance on the sun that he was going to say jack over shit. He lied to the President, the American people, and the world and enriched himself through the suffering of others (and congratulated himself for it). His ‘pardon’ is probably worthless since it was not a wet signature and he wasn’t accused of a crime, so how could he be pardoned for something that was a theoretical at the time?

The only way he could be compelled to answer anything would be if they circled his chair with salt and threw holy water on him until he gave it up.

The only punishment that would be remotely appropriate would be to have his vocal chords cut and his head put into a container with flesh eating insects. Perhaps that will be his fate in hell because I doubt he will receive any punishment that he richly deserves in this life.

  1. Reminds me of Dave Chappelle’s old “fif” skit. But, yeah- he may not get justice in this lifetime. I don’t think he’ll fare well in the next.

  2. Don’t forget, his partner in crime, Birx (?). She was not pardoned. She can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

  4. Maybe putting some pressure on her to rat him out would be in order.

    Never mind that; I knew this was going to be a dog-and-pony show; what I want to know is: Did he break the Clinton’s (either one of them) record?

  7. As to the pardon, I think that should be litigated all the way to the Supreme Court.

    I read a report this AM that Trump thinks Presidential pardons are sacrosanct and shouldn’t be touched by anyone which makes one wonder…

    I also read that the AG of Florida is proceeding with a case against Fraudci for a whole bunch of felonies including murder. I’m hoping Texas and a couple other states join in, individually, to, at the very least, make the process the punishment. It’s about time Demonrats faced the same litigation as Bribem’s DOJ did to a whole bunch of folks who were in DC on Jan 6th and bankrupts him with attorney’s fees, at the very least.

    Jail for the rest of his life would be nice, but I don’t think that’s in the cards.

    When are they going to call Ms Scarf to testify?

    I would add that Rand should say, “The power of Christ compels you! The Power of Christ compels you!”

    Of course if a demon emerges all bets are off.

  10. Case law is that, once you’ve accepted a pardon, you generally no longer have fifth amendment rights with respect to what the pardon covers, since you’re no longer in legal jeopardy.

    That’s apparently limited to federal offenses, though … you can still plead the fifth if it’s related to a state-level offense.

    I hope they hold him in contempt of Congress for pleading the fifth – it’s apparently the only real sanction they have at this point, other than litigating whether his pardon is actually valid.
