On Thursday, during a fiery appearance on Fox News's 'Fox And Friends', Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) argued Senate and House Republicans have a smoking gun to go after former Biden Health Advisor Anthony Fauci for 'perjury.'
“I don’t think there has ever been a clearer case of perjury in the history of government testimony. And I don’t say that lightly. He said, adamantly, that the government never funded this gain of function research. We now have the Government Accountability Office, the GAO has admitted that the funding cage from the NIH," the Kentucky Republican said. "We have the acting director of the NIH, Tabak, admitting in writing that it came from the NIH. But now we have really the smoking gun. That is Fauci in private saying the opposite of what he was saying in public.”
“When he was publicly telling me that, ‘Absolutely, we do not fund gain-of-function research in China,’ he says privately, ‘We are suspicious that the virus has been manipulated, and we are suspicious because we know they are doing gain-of-function research.' He then goes on to describe the research, and it’s exactly the research that the NIH funded. So, he is caught dead to rights here, but we have an incredibly partisan Attorney General Garland who is refusing to act. So, I have taken the extraordinary step of actually going to the local U.S. Attorney in D.C. to see if he will act," he continued.
"Now, the problem is, there are partisans littered throughout the legal system, and people are seeing this; you do not get prosecuted if you are a Democrat under this administration, no matter what you do," Paul explained.
The senator then addressed internal communications information that said Fauci did not want to be linked to any 'origins stories.'
"Think about it, a million Americans died. This is one of the biggest events of our lifetime... if it came from a lab that we funded, would we not want to know? And if someone made the decision, and here's what, in all likelihood, happened. There was a safety committee that was supposed to review dangerous research and decide if we should fund it. Fauci went around the committee," Paul alleged. "But evidence that Anthony Fauci took this dangerous research and said 'no, no, they get an exemption, they do not have to get reviewed by this committee to see if it was dangerous,' and so they were mixing viruses together to see if they were more transmissible in humans, more dangerous in humans, and it turns out, they found that they could create viruses that were more dangerous."
If this is true, House and Senate Republicans must act to hold this administration accountable.
