Four mistakes Fauci made when pleading the 5th today:
1. Once a witness opens the door to a topic, the witness cannot then plead the 5th with regard to that topic. And Fauci’s opening statement opened many doors widely, including when he claimed he had a “decades-long record of cooperating with Congress” including “during and after the Covid pandemic” when he “appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House.” That puts the question of whether he properly cooperated when responding to questions, including prior questions from Senator Paul, in all of those hearings directly at issue. Here are a few of his statements through which he opened the door broadly:
•“I served at the NIH for over 54 years, 38 of those as Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.”
•“Over that period, I proved that I believe in and respect the value of legitimate congressional oversight. In fact, I testified before and/or briefed Senate and House committees well over 200 times over those 38 years.”
•“During and after the Covid pandemic, I have appeared multiple times for hearings in the Senate and the House, usually under oath, and sat for several days-long, transcribed sworn interviews answering questions about the very issues that are now the subject of this hearing.”
•“However, Given Senator Paul’s obvious obsession with calling for my prosecution, his repeated slanderous comments about me, and recently, his publicly releasing my unredacted personal diary, aimed at embarrassing and intimidating me, the only conclusion I can reach is that the sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something – anything – that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, ‘behind bars.’ Any reasonable person who has followed his unhinged obsession with me would readily come to the same conclusion.”
•“Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the constitution to refrain from answering your questions.”
2. The 5th amendment can only be used when answering a question which would present real and appreciable danger. Thus, his use of the 5th during the hearing for questions that clearly don’t meet this standard, including about the color of his tie and what day of the week it is, reflects on its improper use during the hearing overall.
3. Since invoking the 5th is question specific, announcing before even hearing the questions that he would “refrain from answering [the committee’s] questions” under the 5th was itself improper.
4. Finally, ignoring the broad presidential pardon he received, as if it doesn’t exist, including for questions that would clearly fall within the parameters of that incredibly broad pardon, was a misstep that may come back to bite him later.
@SenRandPaul@SenRonJohnson@HawleyMO@berniemoreno@SenatorLankford
This pardon was a disgrace, and it remains unclear whether an autopen pardon is legally valid.
In my view, Fauci, as well as Drosten, Koopmans, Baric, Hotez, and others, should be investigated and prosecuted through the legal system.
It’s official sunscreen is harmful to you. Big Pharma has done it again with the help of the obedient reporting of the MSM.
Humans need sunshine for health and well-being.
🚨Right… WHILE YOU WERE DISTRACTED… look what Whitehall rolled out today. (Shhh, this is why they hate me.)
The Government calls it “rewiring the state.” What it really means is taking more control away from you.
The MSM reported that Burnham had scrapped digital ID. That’s a lie, as I told you.
He scrapped ONE proposed national scheme. The digital identity back office has not gone anywhere.
Digital identity, Government Digital Services, telecoms, media, online safety and Whitehall’s “misinformation and disinformation” operations are now being brought together under one expanded department.
So the machine controlling your digital identity, access to government services, online speech … and now how PUBLIC OPINION is interpreted, is being consolidated and automated.
They haven’t abandoned the infrastructure. Oh no… They are centralising it.
Exactly as planned. You really should read my book!
Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss explains how the Deep State, NGO activists and globalists have captured the state and the media, and are destroying the West.
Just a few years ago, The Times attempted to smear me for raising these very concerns:
"Mike Fairclough, the head teacher of West Rise Junior School, spoke about a plan by 'globalists' to disempower people and take away their freedoms."
It's remarkable how quickly ideas once dismissed as conspiracy theories have entered mainstream political debate.
The globalist agenda must be exposed, confronted and defeated.
🚨NEW: Leader of the Lib Dems Ed Davey has said on Sky News that Nigel Farage "has been found breaking the rules."
The Sky presenter forgot to inform him that an investigation hasn't even taken place yet.
🚨 President Trump is seemingly BEYOND fed up with Europe's BS
"With all the money we spend to help them with Russia.. we don't have to spend ANY money. We could remove ALL of our soldiers out of Europe, because as you probably noticed, Europe is a VERY different place than it was 20 years ago."
"It's MUCH different, and they better be careful with immigration and energy. If they're not careful with those two things, you're not going to have a Europe anymore."
World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab has filed a complaint to police after a listening device was found in his home in Geneva, Switzerland
Ironically, last year Schwab said “We have all got to submit to surveillance, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear”
🤣
A BIG FAT GIANT BACKPEDAL FROM SKY NEWS just now, as they final admit that yes, they did hound Nigel Farage’s daughter at a property The Times revealed last week was her residence.
This is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Watch as Adam Boulton pivots from their line of “Nah we didn’t do it,” to “Yeah we did it and it’s fine actually.”
Good on @RobertJenrick for pressing them hard on this. You don’t hate the fake news media enough. Sick, sick people!!!
Then @DC_Police are in error
There is no divesting abandonment in English law. So the grave goods remain your property @higgyboson
There are a range of offences that @@DC_POLICE need to consider and the property must be returned
This is also completely wrong.
This is ridiculous.
Just issue a decree that any pub in the land can stay open late on Monday.
It’s been done before.
Stop being pettifogging killjoys and get behind England 🏴
The ROTHSCHILDS have just begun to lose control of the weather.
For 47 years, they have controlled the skies through a network of 22 weather modification stations that could direct hurricanes, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, on demand, to any place on Earth.
The program was called "THRONE CLIMATE" and was funded by a labyrinth of NGOs, carbon credit systems, and "green energy" foundations, all connected to the same family office in Geneva that has controlled European banks since 1815. A few days ago, the last station was disconnected, seized in a military operation involving 6 nations that have never publicly acknowledged working together. The weather is no longer a weapon. For the first time since 1979, the skies belong to no one. Every "natural disaster" of the last 47 years had a signature, a digital fingerprint embedded in the ionosphere that preceded it. HAARP researchers have detected it for decades. They were ridiculed, but they were right about everything: Hurricane Katrina: frequency trace detected 72 hours before impact; The 2010 Haiti earthquake has the same frequency signature, originating from a station in Venezuela; The 2011 earthquake, signature attributed to a flagless ship operating in the Pacific. The ship's registration, obtained via "QFS maritime tracking," belongs to a company conveniently located in the Cayman Islands. The company's sole director: a family trust of the Rothschild family.
They didn't predict disasters, they ordered them. Why control the weather? Because the weather controls everything. Food prices, insurance markets, government stability, migration systems, election outcomes. They didn't need an army. They didn't need murders. They needed rain or drought in the right place at the right time. $4.2 trillion in "natural disaster" damages since 1979. Betting on the destruction they created. Harvesting the suffering they caused. For the first time in half a century, the rain will fall where it should fall.
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.
If the track was in its original place instead of inside it you would have better racing You can not race hard on a small circuit it is impossible because of gravitational force
@UprightSpeedway I read a few people moaning about the Foxhall track, but thank goodness we still have speedway there, some think every track in the uk, should be like Belle Vue, sadly that will never happen, and a lot of it I blame on modern bikes being to powerful on the smaller tracks.
