NextImg:Rand Paul Calls BS (and Shows Receipts) After Dr. Fauci's Answer About 'Back Channel' Communications

Yesterday Republican Sen. Rand Paul talked about Dr. Anthony Fauci's hearing that's taking place today at a House Covid subcommittee and said that more lies could be expected from the former NIAID chief:

Democrats at the hearing are trying their best to run cover for Fauci as Republicans press him about issues such as the origin of the virus, masking and social distancing non-science along with allegations about using private email to avoid FOIA laws.

Last month the House Oversight Committee published this about Fauci and his then-adviser Dr. David Morens:

Today, the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a staff memorandum titled “Allegations of Wrongdoing and Illegal Activity by Dr. David Morens, Senior Advisor to National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases former-Director, Dr. Anthony Fauci.” 

This memo presents overwhelming evidence from Dr. Morens’s own email that he engaged in serious misconduct and potentially illegal actions while serving as a Senior Advisor to Dr. Fauci during the COVID-19 pandemic. The memo includes previously unreleased email correspondence, obtained by subpoena, that incriminates Dr. Morens in undermining the operations of the U.S. government, unlawfully deleting federal COVID-19 records, using a personal email to avoid the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and repeatedly acting unbecoming of a federal employee. Further, the memo reveals new emails suggesting Dr. Fauci was aware of Dr. Morens’s nefarious behavior and may have even engaged in federal records violations himself.

Fauci was asked about that today and here's part of what he had to say:

There's the tried and true "not to the best of my recollection" response designed to avoid any perjury charges.

Senator Paul had a bit of advice for any prosecutor who ends up talking to Fauci's former adviser:

Paul also additionally made it clear that there's a reason Fauci felt compelled to add the "to the best of my recollection" part to his answer:

Fauci's "recollection" might need some work:

Maybe a Republican on the House committee can show Fauci those receipts.

Will there ever be any accountability?
