| Anthony Fauci accused of perjury: Former White House doctor 'LIED under oath about funding gain-of-function research in China - which is feared to have started Covid pandemic', Republican Senator claims |

| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Dr Anthony Fauci was tonight accused of lying under oath over his knowledge of dangerous virus research in China — which is feared to have caused the pandemic. DailyMail.com can reveal Senator Rand Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, wrote to Attorney General Merrick Garland last week calling for an investigation into whether Dr Fauci, 82, committed perjury when he testified in front of a Senate committee in 2021. In a showdown with Republicans, including Sen Paul, in July that year, Dr Fauci testified that his former department ‘has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.' Dr Fauci was the former Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) until the end of 2022 and was responsible for signing off on research grants. Yet newly released emails dated February 1, 2020 show Fauci acknowledged that 'scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine that molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan.' Perjury is a federal offense that carries up to five years in prison. While the emails show that Fauci was aware of gain-of-function going on in the lab, he never admitted that the NIH funded it. But the Government Accountability Office (GAO) determined last month that the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Wuhan University did receive NIH funding, Sen Paul said in his letter to AG Garland.

| #6 Nobody but New York Times reporter Ron Susskind knows who said that, Mr. Joe, assuming anyone said it at all. He included it in a 2004 article about the George W. Bush White House, but only described the speaker as a senior advisor to the president. Karl Rove has been accused of being the one who said it; not only has he denied it, but claims the quote was invented — not a far-fetched claim, given the NYT propensity for nurturing fabulists. And if nobody actually said it, nobody meant any such thing about American exceptionalism. |

| #5 Don’t recall the name but someone once said: “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors. . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” This was what they meant for American exceptionalism. |

| #3 To admit so would reveal that they were engaged in bio-warfare studies which are banned from funding. Just another form of 'laundering' money. |

| #1 Referring Anthony Fauci to the Garland’s DOJ is like making OJ the jury foreman of a capital murder case or Kevin Spacey the dorm master at a boy’s prep school. |
