(10,375 posts)we will be outraged, and all the inattentive public will say "who's that"?

(10,749 posts)Would cheer on reports of Jews and lgbtq people being rounded up sbs imprisoned.
They would also cheer on the termination of Medicare and SS and yet still be shocked when the checks stop and medical care is no longer available to them.
They would cheer as non-white people are removed from their homes, which are then given to poor white people.
You get the idea.

(9,998 posts)30% of Americans will cheer.
30% won't care.
40% will think it's ridiculous.

(32,975 posts)They don't control the DOJ.
They could subpoena him and refer it to the DOJ when he refuses to testify before Congress, but
a. He'd show up.
b. The DOJ has let everyone but Bannon skate on ignoring subpoenas, and Bannon hasn't gone to jail yet.

I just go with it.

(58,785 posts)On Fauci's part.
More interestingly, the same cannot be said of tRump and the Republican Party. They encouraged/refused to prevent what became a Republican-developed holocaust -- estimated 1.2M deaths so far. Around 1 out of every 275+ Americans. It hasn't resulted in an authoritarian takeover, but has advanced the needed chaos, and their ultra-wealthy donors have in many cases DOUBLED their wealth.
But, if those accusing Fauci weren't crazy, this would be the LAST subject they tried to focus national attention on. And that may be the case -- maybe they'll just stick to raising it for brief rabblerousing cheers at MAGA rallies.
And, and I think extremely probable, they've been worried along along about national awareness rising about the enormous scope of their evil and the desperately needed congressional investigations that may finally becoming (delayed by the enormous, chaotic manufactured tRump-era national problems).
And that's why they've been pushing Fauci and Democratic policies as alternate causes -- for several years now -- in preparation.

(101,144 posts)because he's willing to defend all the actions of him and his department. He'd make mincemeat of the dumb Republicans. He's testified for decades in Congress, and knows what to do.

It's just a shame that part of his well-earned retirement will be taken up with this BS. I hope if if looks wise for him to have a lawyer for it, then some donor will cover that expense.

(13,037 posts)they could present their "evidence" to DOJ and recommend prosecution.
so how exactly are they going to put him in jail?

(1,474 posts)So they can't.

(15,361 posts)Other than inherent contempt, which wont be an issue.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)The public will react with disapproval -- but not anxiety since they CAN'T put Fauci in jail. It'll hurt no one but themselves.

(23,810 posts)Find nothing to refer to the DOJ and then wonder why the general public doesn't go along with this sham investigation.
Deuxcents
(15,776 posts)Hes spent his whole adult life researching trying to keep us aware and this is how they want to treat him? A wave of condemnation is awaiting them, I think.
