More: The party-line vote approving the contempt resolution came a week after Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.

Yep.
It underscores that Fauci is entirely wise not to trust these bastards and not to give them an inch.

POTUS Joe Biden's pre-emptive pardon does not protect Dr Anthony Fauci from contempt of congress charges.
Dr Fauci, who entered federal service at the height of the Vietnam War in 1968 and thus avoided the draft and combat in SE Asia, may have been better treated by the NVA or Vietcong than by his fellow Americans.
The detestable Rand Paul (R-KY) should befall a "hit and run" accident or catch a lethal bout of "Exploding A__ Disease" forthwith.
Please.

That's actually quite funny. By taking the fifth, he provided no evidence. There isn't even a case to open.

When Trump takes the 5th, don't you assume he's guilty or hiding something?

I don't have to assume Trump is guilty. Trump has been found guilty of 34 felonies. Fauci has been found guilty of zero felonies.
Do you think Trump and Fauci are on equal footing, when it comes to telling the truth?

Re 11
Absolutely Nothing Trumpy says can be trusted without verification from at least TWO RELIABLE SOURCES.
Dr. Anthony Fauci is a decorated physician-scientist with over 50 years of public service. He served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and advised seven U.S. presidents. Dr Fauci is one of those reliable sources.

Trump is a BSer. Fauci is a liar. Fauci's notes to himself in his diary don't match his public statements.

A reliable source doesn't need an unprecedented sweeping pardon and then take the 5th a hundred or more times.

Trump/MAGA doesn't care about Fauci's pardon.
It's like that reflecting pool "vandal". Fauci is a man they've decided they want in jail.

@#15 ... Trump/MAGA doesn't care about Fauci's pardon. ...
The pardon only works at the Federal level.
If State AGs decide to go after Dr Fauci, the pardon won't stop them.
3 state attorneys general subpoena Anthony Fauci thehill.com
That's likely another reason why he took the 5th ...

Call me when they issue a special extention to the statute of limitations or file charges based on the memo field of a personal check.

Noel Casler Comedy @noelcaslercomedy.bsky.social Dr. Fauci spent his life trying to save children, Trump spent his life trying to f*ck them. You're going after the wrong guy, GOP.

"Senate committee votes to hold Fauci in contempt"
The man was obviously doing something correct to be held in contempt by this Senate.

It's never happened. You are a poor lost soul babbling desperately about nonsense for attention.
Good luck with that.

Visitor: Let's look at what you say versus your real thoughts. Probably more consistent on the Retort than anywhere else in your life.
What do you say to whoever writes your checks? Same as what you think about them?
[Presuming employment here.]
Then again, people who keep diaries are usually literate and at least self-reflective. Don't expect a flood of diaries from the Trump cabal.

1) I'll bet that he did. release the Epstein Files. Let's find out.
2) Bets aside, it's completely clear that Trump is covering for people who molested kids.
