Showing Original Post only (View all)Rand Paul Says He'll Make Criminal Referral to DOJ Against Dr. Fauci [View all]
Source: Gizmodo
U.S. Senator Rand Paul will make a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice against Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the infectious diseases department at NIH. Pauls threat was first announced on Sean Hannitys Fox News show on Tuesday night and came after Fauci pushed back against the senators aggressive questioning during a senate committee hearing in Washington D.C.
I will be sending a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress, Senator Paul told Sean Hannity.
Paul, a senator from Kentucky, alleges that U.S. funding of research on infectious diseases in Wuhan, China at the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have played a role in the covid-19 pandemic thats ravaged the world over the past year and a half, sickening at least 191 million people and killing over 4.11 million.
Senator Paul says hes worried that so-called gain-of-function research was conducted in Wuhan that may have led to the novel coronavirus being developed artificially and released into the world, intentionally or not. Gain-of-function research is when an organism is genetically modified to have a new ability, such as agricultural crops being more resistant to pests.

Nope, there's no penalty for a stupid referral. I bet they get crazy complaints every day.

That's so ridiculous that maybe we should not even dignify Paul's nonsense with a reply.
