Biden's Potential Pardons Spark Controversy: Fauci in the Crosshairs
Speculation abounds regarding possible preemptive pardons from President Biden, with Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-related actions under scrutiny.
Senator Rand Paul has stirred the pot with claims that President Joe Biden is contemplating preemptive pardons for individuals expected to face prosecution if Donald Trump reclaims the presidency. Notably, he highlighted Dr. Anthony Fauci as a significant figure among those who could be pardoned, citing concerns over Fauci's involvement in funded research deemed controversial during the pandemic.
In a striking appearance on “The Glenn Beck Program,” Paul expressed his discontent with the Biden administration's considerations. “I’ve sent criminal referrals on Anthony Fauci twice to the Department of Justice without a response,” he said, criticizing Attorney General Merrick Garland for his inaction. Paul asserted that should Fauci receive a preemptive pardon, he would deliver those referrals again.
Delving into the accusations against Fauci, Paul alleged that the doctor funneled funds into gain-of-function research at Wuhan lab, a point of contention amid ongoing debates about the origins of COVID-19. “He sidestepped the safeguards in place to prevent exactly what happened,” Paul stated, referencing the warnings from scientists over the past two decades about the dangers of such research.
As the conversation unfolded, Paul condemned Fauci for allegedly downplaying his involvement in the controversial research. “When it came out that he had done it, he acted as if there were no repercussions,” Paul critiqued. He characterized Fauci's statements regarding the matter as misleading, dubbing them “a lie.”
He further implied that a presidential pardon couldn’t protect Fauci from the verdict of history. “Such a move by the president would only cement his role in being the architect of gain-of-function,” emphasized Paul. Glenn Beck added to the sentiment, mentioning the potential influence of Trump’s appointees, like Kash Patel, in seeking accountability for Fauci.
As speculation over Biden’s pardons intensifies, the discourse around Fauci’s legacy reflects ongoing national debates about accountability, the impact of partisan politics, and the repercussions of the pandemic's administration.
