Senator Rand Paul says he will ask DOJ for 'criminal referral' over Fauci testimony

[FOX] Sen. Rand Paul said he will send a letter to the Department of Justice asking for a criminal investigation of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

"I will be sending a letter to Department of Justice asking for a criminal referral because he has lied to Congress. We have scientists that were lined up by the dozens to say that the research he was funding was gain-of-function," the Kentucky Republican told Sean Hannity of Fauci on Tuesday evening’s "Hannity" program.

"He's doing this because he has a self interest to cover his tracks and to cover his connection to Wuhan lab," Paul continued.

Paul’s interview comes after he and Fauci had another heated exchange during a Senate hearing Tuesday when the two traded accusations of "lying" over gain-of-function research at a Wuhan lab floated as the origin of the coronavirus.

#1 A criminal referral to the DOJ? Isn't that where referrals go to die? Good effort on the part of Senator Paul none-the-less.

#2 A futile gesture but at least he can't be accused of negligence.

#4 Despite Fauci's word salad, it seems to me the salient point is that US tax money (with Fauci's knowledge and approval) went into one end of a Chinese pipeline and a bioweapon emerged at the other end. Talking about the exact intended purpose of the cash ignores the fact that cash has a serious tendency to be fungible.

#6 Like the DOJ would do anything.

It's a way of adding more instances of negligence and dereliction of duty against the roque DOJ and the WH. Nothing wrong with keeping the pressure on em.

#7 The attempt should be made even if it is futile or Fauci can claim innocence by default.
