Miranda Devine: Anthony Fauci was the ‘big head’ of COVID response
"As the global death toll mounted, Fauci’s diary shows he was increasingly preoccupied with his rising media profile and reveling in the admiration, especially the praise from celebrities, all of which he meticulously recorded."

| Cartoon - American Thinker Fauci emerges from the diary entries as a frivolous narcissist, possibly corrupt and a really bad speller (for example, “dyswaded” for dissuaded). |
"And remember, that pardon only covers Fauci’s conduct through last January. Once he’s forced to testify … anything he says is fair game for examination as perjury."
. . . "Litigating the order to compel Fauci’s testimony and force him to stop invoking the Fifth Amendment gets interesting right away. The Fifth only holds as a protection against the committee’s subpoena where Fauci has a reasonable fear of prosecution. If Biden’s pardon is worth the paper it’s printed on, then there is no self-incrimination argument and Fauci has to testify.
"What would be highly interesting is if Fauci’s lawyers were to argue that Biden’s pardon of their client is problematic based on the fact it was an autopen pardon from a non compos mentis president — my characterization, obviously, but theirs would have to read somewhat similarly. That would be their most direct defense of his Fifth Amendment privilege, but it would also be politically devastating for the Democrats, and at that point it would start to be interesting to see who might turn on him. I am not suggesting they would do this, but it’s conceivable — especially if Camp Fauci thinks that his contradictory statements put him at a greater disadvantage than does his underlying conduct.
"Either way, in this scenario, you get a ruling from the judge, and the wheels begin to turn. Clearly, Fauci’s Fifth Amendment invocation isn’t appropriate when Sen. Josh Hawley asks what color his tie is, so there is almost certainly going to be a ruling compelling some testimony not covered by Fifth Amendment privilege." . . . More...
. . . "So the rule of law is Democrat presidents can go after political enemies, while protecting lawbreaking Cabinet officials from facing justice. Republican presidents face dealing with passive-aggressive Republican Congresses whose members would rather be in the minority than actually do the work of a majority Congress.
Which leads to Wednesday’s Senate committee hearing—chaired by Senator Rand Paul—into the trillion-dollar covid catastrophe caused by Tony Fauci, whom Reagan brought to Washington to find a cure for AIDS. Over the course of 40 years, Fauci built a bureaucratic empire and ingratiated himself among the politicians, celebrities and press gaggles of DC. Barbra Streisand had him on speed dial.
(People. People who need fascists are the ugliest people in the world.)
Fauci never did find that cure—despite torturing beagles such s having Tunisian sandflies bite them and cutting off their vocal cords, a debarking, a cordectomy. But he retired to a pension larger than a presidential salary and pocketed all sorts of deals including a $5 million book advance for a book that sold less than 100,000 copies.
"Rand Paul is no dummy. He knew that Fauci is a liar who would never talk under oath even with the prosecutorial immunity of a presidential pardon—regardless of who actually signed it."
