Fauci Just Pled The Fifth 111 TIMES — Rand Paul Moved For Contempt [kVxPC6OojVi]
Anthony Fauci sat before Congress today and pled the Fifth Amendment 111 times — and Rand Paul just moved for a contempt of Congress vote scheduled for next week. Fauci has a blanket pardon from Joe Biden covering January 2014 through January 2025. Rand Paul's argument is devastating in its simplicity: if you have a pardon, you cannot self-incriminate, which means the Fifth Amendment doesn't apply. Paul asked Fauci directly whether he destroyed federal records during the pardon period. Fauci pled the Fifth. Paul told him his objection was "unsupported" and directed him to answer. Fauci pled the Fifth again. Paul moved for contempt. Here's why Rand Paul's Fauci testimony matters beyond today's hearing. Paul's opening statement laid out the entire case on congressional record for the first time: Fauci's own diary entries prove he convinced Bill de Blasio to close New York City schools, Gavin Newsom's chief of staff told Fauci that Newsom closed California "after watching you on television," his hand-picked virologists privately warned that the virus appeared to be lab-manipulated, all but two participants on his own conference call believed deliberate insertion was possible, and then they all flipped within days and wrote the "proximal origin" paper claiming natural origin. Fauci cited that paper from the White House podium without disclosing that he helped organize it. Paul's closing was surgical: "It is secrecy that destroys trust. It is arrogance that destroys trust. It is censorship that destroys trust. That loss of trust may be your most damaging legacy." Should Fauci be held in contempt of Congress — yes or no? Drop it in the comments. 📌 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Fauci Was In Front Of Congress Today 0:17 - He Pled The Fifth 111 Times 0:32 - Rand Paul's Opening Statement — A Masterclass 0:54 - "One Million Americans Died From COVID-19" 1:07 - "Publicly He Promoted Natural Origin — Privately He Knew" 1:22 - "The American People Deserve An Apology" 1:59 - "Instead Of An Apology — You Have Avoided Responsibility" 2:32 - Fauci's Diary: "The Task Force Recommendations Were Driven By Me" 2:44 - He Convinced De Blasio To Close NYC Schools — It's In The Diary 2:56 - Newsom Closed California After Watching Fauci On Television 3:10 - "The Lockdown Could Never Have Been Inflicted Without You" 3:23 - Children Lost Years.
