The dude has immunity.
Can't he say whatever he wants?

this is a good play by Rand. His pardon wont protect him from perjuring himself in this hearing. Either he tells the world he lied then, or he lies now and gets himself in hot water

I agree but I hope doesn't just say he doesn't remember.

Unfortunately this will just be another dog and pony show.

9th time is the charm, right?


IDGAF if it's 15 times.

How about the DOJ files charges at least 1 fricking time?

The problem is Congress (both sides) spend their time making speeches rather than having time to engage in constructive, open Q&A. Nothing will happen here.

If Fauci lies under oath after this autopen pardon, he would not be protected?

I hope that little monster is taken into custody at the hearing and locked in a box and fed to sand fleas. He deserves it for more than the beagles he did it to.

Now that: "Trump said his predecessor's 11th-hour pardons were "void, vacant and of no further force or effect" due to the alleged use of an autopen."...maybe we will see some justice.

No...pardons do not cover future crimes or perjury. The pardon only applies to offenses committed before the date it was issued.

Not unless Rand tightens up his questions, and holds the SOB accountable for past testimony.

They turned previous encounters into who's a brighter doctor. If the competition was IQ or med tests, I'd pick Rand every day and twice on Sunday. Unfortunately, that will never be the public perception.

So Fauci is untouchable there.

As he's been threatened with state lawsuits, he could plead the 5th as a big FY to the hearing. I'd be stunned if he did because of ego.

Can’t plead the fifth with a presidential pardon.

And what state is going to charge him that could have already several years ago. Nothing will happen, but theater.

frick Fauci but Rand's obsession is beyond annoying


For trying to do what is right….that is annoying to you?

WTF

I am not Rand’s biggest fan, but he is dead on balls accurate on this one. Fauci is a federally funded murderer. End of story.

Rand Paul is the Jimmy Jordan of the senate. Nothing will happen. Nothing but kabuki theater.
