What he’s saying: Paul has an “unhinged obsession with me,” and his motive for the hearing is to “get me to say something — anything — that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars unquote,” Fauci said.

“Although it pains me to do so … under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci said.

    Thank you again Dr. Fauci. This time for giving the big middle finger to this Rapeublican Kabuki Theatre.

      love “rapeublican”, and you’re not wrong, but I think its true that Dems were also on the list. I assume many more rapub than Dem, but dont have the data to prove it, because Biden failed to release the full list and the Dems and Rapeubliicans both work for their rich donors, not the people. So they are incentivized to keep hiding it.
