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.

    I get you but maybe Im missreading the tone. Are you responding like somehow I was arguing with you rather than mentioning another significant thing around it. Mainly from your first paragraph.

      Ahh, nah you’re right. That comment of mine had 6 downvotes, and something else trying to explain had 20+ with zero upvotes because it seems people saw lots of words, skimmed, and assumed I must be agreeing that Fauci is the devil 'cause Trump said so.

      When I saw you listing Trump’s part in it and what a sack of shit he is I just assumed you were also thinking I was an an idiot Trumpian. My bad.
