It’s not a criminal charge. You’ve got no right to the 5th Amendment in civil proceedings.

Just hold some hearings, eliminate it and see what happens.

They did it to Judge Porteous. And he got impeached for shite he did on the state bench.

If he lied to Congress and funded the pandemic, let’s just get rid of his $450k/ yr. Make him go sue to get it back or something.

Do some civil forfeiture on the shite he profited from starting the pandemic and killing people with Remdesivir. Every cent. Make him sue to get it back.

Put the burden on him

No.

That would be a bill of attainder and they are unconstitutional.

his Federal retirement is nothing compared to what he's made over the years by hook or crook

Sure they can do it. They won't because collectively they have no balls in their elitist club.

We serfs have no say in this.

The impeached the judge BEFORE his retirement.

Can’t strip a pension after retirement.

Yeah, remember when Fauci had 5 litters of kittens when Trump cut off his secret service detail? Now the little smelly goblin has the money for his own detail.

Did you see that one guy behind him, he made Shaq look like Kevin Hart.

Or there’s this. . . (From the law already governing his pension)


LINK


quote:

An individual, or his survivor or beneficiary, may not be paid annuity or retired pay on the basis of the service of the individual which is creditable toward the annuity or retired pay, subject to the exceptions in section 8311(2) and (3) of this title, if the individual, before, on, or after September 1, 1954, refused or refuses, or knowingly and willfully failed or fails, to appear, testify, or produce a book, paper, record, or other document, relating to his service as an employee, before a Federal grand jury, court of the United States, court-martial, or congressional committee, in a proceeding concerning—

(1) his past or present relationship with a foreign government; or

(2) a matter involving or relating to an interference with or endangerment of, or involving or relating to a plan or attempt to interfere with or endanger, the national security or defense of the United States.


So, Dr. Fauci, what exactly was your relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

That could work. That law is aimed at a class of people, not a named individual.

Although the SCOTUS test for a bill of attainder does not necessarily require a named individual. The test is:

-Specificity: The law targets an easily identifiable person or a specific group by name or characteristic.

-Punishment: It inflicts a penalty, deprivation of property, or a block from employment, rather than just imposing a regulatory burden.

-Lack of Trial: The punishment is forced directly by the legislative text without any court proceeding.


Interesting, I wonder if the law you cited could be challenged as a bill of attainder.

It’s been in existence since the 50s. It’s why his pension is so high anyway.

frick that weasel.

He deserves all the scorn that could ever be heaped upon him.

He's lucky the conservative population isn't stacked with Luigi Mangione types like the violent left is.

It isn’t stacked with people who are creative and apply the rules that were applied against them, either, unfortunately.

We don’t need a bunch of Luigi’s - we just need a some people with the stones and the brains to dole out lawful consequences

I’ll repeat. The obsession with Fauci has become pathological for some of you. It’s pure emotion and politics

So, the man who had a hand in the creation of Covid19, then advocated for policies that were known to be BS, such as distancing, masking, mass quarantine, shutting down of businesses and much, much more should just be forgotten about?

Me thinks you want us to forget about people like you, who silenced us, fined us, shunned us and much, much more for absolutely nothing.

Eat a dick dude.
