The Contemptable Fauch – Top 3 Takeaways – August 7th, 2026

The Contemptable Fauch – Top 3 Takeaways – August 7th, 2026 

Takeaway #1: Contempt 

Of all of the words for the Fauch to be associated with...contempt is probably the most appropriate. The textbook definition of contempt is: the feeling that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless, or deserving scorn. To be sure there are no shortage of characters historically who’ve been in “public service”, who’ve abused their office, serviced themselves first, while also looking down their nose at you. However, in our lifetimes I cannot think of a better example of this than one Dr. Anthony Fauci. I’ll walk you back to my top takeaway from July 22nd of 2021 – just over five years ago – Entitled: <<Smooth Criminal? In October of 2012 one Doctor Anthony Fauci wrote a piece published in the American Society for Microbiology. In that piece he lauded the practice of animal-virus testing, aka “gain-of-function" research. Quoting Fauci: In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic? Many ask reasonable questions: given the possibility of such a scenario – however remote – should the initial experiments have been performed and/or published in the first place, and what were the processes involved in this decision? Scientists working in this field might say – as indeed I have said – that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risks. Nine years ago, Anthony Fauci said gain-of-function research is risky and could cause a pandemic, but the benefits of the research outweigh the risks. Wow, right? But all he’s managed to do is get promoted while millions have died during a pandemic. That’s one smooth criminal.>> So, to recap or in case you weren’t listening to me back then and never knew...Dr. Anthony Fauci knew exactly what he was doing but thought that his precise scientific research was more important than the risk of a worldwide pandemic that could kill you – and that did kill 14.9 million people according to the final pandemic accounting from the WHO.  

Takeaway #2: How much contempt most one hold for society to advocate for such a thing? 

But of course writing about gain-of-function research was far from being the only thing he did. As I brought to you on March 9th of 2023... <The NIH gave money to American universities who then gave the money to Chinese military researchers. This washes entirely with the December 2019 arrests of the Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department, along with two Chinese Nationals, over $15 million in grants from the NIH having been handed over to China in three separate incidents as part of a grand conspiracy successfully tried and prosecuted by the Department of Justice.> And that Fauci directed NIH money went to the Wuhan lab – where he knew that they were doing his prized gain-of-function-research. It was also at that time when Senator Rand Paul recovered this through subpoenaed emails... This was an exchange between the NIH’s Fauci and Collins in January of 2020 saying that if the truth were known: This wouldn't be good for China, this wouldn't be good for science. So, it was the opinion of the top medical authorities in this country that what’s not good for China isn’t good for science. How contemptable is that one? Of course, the truth was recently revealed in the Fauch’s diary where he wrote that the knew that COVID-19 was at least amplified by the Wuhan lab leak. He of course held that information back too – and in fact attempted to smear those who suggested that very thing. He did that while telling us to lock things down, to socially distance, to wear a mask or perhaps even two. He lied and hid all of these things while telling us that we needed to vaxxed and that if we did, we’d never get COVID. And even after that was proven to be bogus, he still said you had to get boosted. Yes, the Fauch’s existence and actions at the National Institutes of Health were as contemptable as we’ve ever seen. And this takes us too... 

Takeaway #3: The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee's Contempt Referral 

Yesterday the committee voted to hold the Fauch in contempt of congress for his refusal to comply with the committee’s requests for information. That’s due to the extent to which the 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination can potentially be abused – it was in spades by the Fauch during his senate hearing last week. While Fauci was legally protected for his role in the in the pandemic and his work at the NIH due to a team Biden Autopen pardon – he wouldn’t be legally protected if he were to lie to congress. So he just decided he wouldn’t answer anything and took the fifth 111 times. His refusal to answer even the most basic questions resulted in senators illustrating the extent of the absurdity by asking him questions like... What day of the week is it today? What color tie are you wearing? What color is the carpet in front of you? At the conclusion of the hearing Rand Paul had this to say... Because you refuse to answer, citing a privilege that is unsupported, because of your pardon, and after being denied to do so, this committee has scheduled a vote next week on a resolution certifying your contempt. And now he has been held in contempt. The first step is Rand Paul’s submission of the contempt referral to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. That’s Jeanine Pirro; one might imagine that she’d be willing to pursue this case too. As we’ve discussed, we’re uncharted territory with the Fauch. And what happens here could eventually lead to a decision by the Supreme Court because at issue is this... A presidential pardon may absolve one of potential liability for federal crimes...however there’s nothing that suggests that a pardon allows for obstruction of justice. And that’s what Paul is alleging. That Fauci has a responsibility to aid in the Senate’s investigation and his refusal to cooperate citing the 5th Amendment arises to the level of obstruction of justice. To date, the courts have been clear on the 5th Amendment. Simply pleading the 5th isn’t of itself obstruction of justice...however pleading the 5th in conjunction with the withholding or destroying of evidence can be considered obstruction of justice. In Fauci’s first-of-its kind case, because of the presidential pardon – he can’t self-incriminate by testifying – because he faced no legal jeopardy provided that he simply was to tell the truth. He’s trying to have it both ways – and a Senate Committee investigation isn’t Burger King. Now, does this mean that I think that one day the Fauch will be convicted of any crimes and made to serve time for what he’s done? The answer is...no. And that’s due to what would eventually have to happen if indeed the Fauch is brought to trial for contempt... A D.C. jury conviction. How many people think that one would ever happen. But as we saw with the Biden DOJ’s weaponization against political enemies...most especially the president. Sometimes the process is the punishment. Having the Fauch bogged down with this and paying for the legal fees associated with this for the foreseeable (along with the potential for a high-profile trial – where much of the truth about the Fauch would come out)...would be some degree of accountability.
