    Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent more than 100 times last week, as Republicans accused him of funding research in China that started the coronavirus pandemic, and lying about it to Congress — accusations he vigorously denies.

    Thursday’s vote addressed a different question: Did Dr. Fauci fail to comply with a congressional subpoena, a federal misdemeanor that carries a prison sentence up to 12 months? The panel adopted a resolution concluding that he did.

    Fauci is a good man who has acted responsibly throughout this craziness, but fascists are not interested in truth, reason or justice, only hatred and vengeance.

    What a fucking farce. Fauci guided the country through a pandemic IN SPITE of Trump doing his best to alternately ignore or fuck it up.
