Anthony Fauci's Own Emails Call the Genetic Manipulation at the Wuhan Lab He Funded "Gain-of-Function" -- But He Repeatedly, Angrily Perjured Himself to Congress in Claiming He Never Funded "Gain of Function" Research at Wuhan

Rand Paul says that Anthony Fauci has been caught "red-handed" lying to Congress and must be prosecuted as the serial criminal -- not to mention killer of millions -- that he is.

But The Regime protects its own, and the outlaw Merrick Garland refuses to take up Rand Paul's criminal referral.

He's charging Trump with everything, of course.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) joined "Fox & Friends" Monday to discuss why he says Dr. Anthony Fauci is lying about his involvement with coronavirus gain-of-function research. Paul said Fauci lied to Congress, which is a felony, about the origins of coronavirus and the Wuhan, China lab research.

RAND PAUL: There's probably never been a government official caught more red-handed in a lie than this because now he has proved the lie in his own words. So at first he kind of acted like, 'oh, we don't have anything to do with the research over there. We don't fund the research in Wuhan.' So we found the actual scientific papers, we found the grant number proving that it came from his agency. And then he said, 'oh, well, yeah, we're funding it, but it's not gain-of-function. My experts up and down have looked at this and it's not gain-of-function.'

But now we have contemporaneous documents from February 2020, in the height of the beginning of the pandemic, where he's saying privately, 'well, yes, we're suspicious that this virus could have come from the lab because they're doing gain-of-function research.' And he describes the project that I had described to him a year later, which he said, 'oh, there's nothing to see here. This is not gain-of- function.' But now we have, in his own words, admitting that it was gain-of-function, admitting they funded it and admitting that it gave them suspicion to the possibility that this pandemic actually came from the lab. So now we have him dead to rights.

The problem is this. We have Merrick Garland, who I think is a pure, rank partisan. I don't think [Fauci] will ever be prosecuted. But we also have a Democrat Party that is happy to have paid him more than the president, more than any president ever makes. And he actually got $1,000,000 from a private foundation while he was still a public servant. Everything about this is rotten to the core. And if we don't bring him to justice, we'll never get the controls we need on this type of research to try to prevent it from happening again.

Paul announced Sunday an "official criminal referral" to the Department of Justice with regard to Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Paul pointed to an email from February 2020 in which Fauci detailed a call with British medical researcher Jeremy Farrar, who was director of the Wellcome Trust at the time.

According to Fauci, those on the task-force call, including Francis Collins, former director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, and other "highly credible" scientists with expertise in evolutionary biology, expressed concern about the "fact upon viewing the sequences of several isolates of the nCoV, there were mutations in the virus that would be most unusual to have evolved naturally in the bats and that there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally inserted."

"The suspicion was heightened by the fact that scientists in Wuhan University are known to have been working on gain-of-function experiments to determine the molecular mechanisms associated with bat viruses adapting to human infection, and the outbreak originated in Wuhan," Fauci wrote, according to a screenshot of the newly unredacted email shared by RealClearPolitics White House reporter Philip Wegmann.

The email specifically calls the research that Fauci 1, denied funding, and then 2, denied was gain of function, "Gain of Function."

Time for the Good Doctor to take his medicine.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has announced a criminal referral of Dr. Anthony Fauci to the Department of Justice over his apparent lying during congressional testimony in 2021.

Fauci insisted repeatedly that the National Institutes of Health had never funded any gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Paul contended at the time, in arguing with Fauci, that the research done on viruses at WIV -- which got US funding -- matched the NIH's own description of gain-of-function research and accused Fauci of playing word games.

Now Fauci is damned by his own words.

A newly surfaced February 2020 email about a COVID task-force call between him, his associates and UK science big Dr. Jeremy Farrar shows Fauci not only using the term "gain-of-function" to describe the work at Wuhan, but highlighting serious misgivings about the virus being of natural origin.

So not only does it look like Fauci was at the very least obfuscating during the 2021 testimony; it shows that he and other senior scientists (including then-NIH head Francis Collins, who was on the call) also took the lab-leak origin theory of COVID seriously.

At least before they panicked and launched a massive behind-the-scenes effort to suppress it -- likely to hide their own possible complicity in funding work that might've unleashed COVID on the world.

To do that they bullied scientists dependent on the millions in grant money they controlled and whipped compliant media into a frenzy over "disinformation."

But members of The Regime are immune to the law, like kings of yore.
