Twitter CEO Elon Musk sided with Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul and is calling for Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to stand trial.
Paul went on Fox News and demand that Fauci be held accountable: “Yeah, I think Fauci deserves culpability and history is going to judge him very poorly because he made the judgment to fund this research.
“It’s dangerous research. He doesn’t want to call it gain of function, but most other scientists do call it gain of function, in Wuhan, in an opaque totalitarian country. And in the end, there was a leak from the lab and millions of people died worldwide.”
Paul also said he thinks Fauci was untruthful during his testimony before Congress, “It’s a felony punishable by five years in jail” if someone is actually charged with lying under oath.”
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan said earlier the GOP could criminally refer Fauci to the Justice Department but he doesn’t think anything will come of it because Merrick Garland would not pursue it:
“Yeah, we can do — there could be a referral, but you would refer to the Biden Justice Department.
“I don’t know that they’re going to pursue that, but you can definitely do that.
“You could have to have one of the committees, the Senate Judiciary Committee could do a referral.
“I doubt they will with the Democrats in charge.
“I would, frankly, prefer just to have Dr. Fauci come back in and take another round of questions here, but we’re building the case.
“You know, like, we had Dr. Redfield testify, Chairman Wenstrup did. I thought he was — I thought he was great.
“As were the other witnesses that were brought in.”
Certainly trial
