Last week Dr. Anthony Fauci sat for a seven-hour deposition by two Republican attorneys general and you just know the NIAID chief who is “the science” wasn’t happy about being grilled:
Dr. Anthony Fauci was quizzed for seven hours Wednesday by the Republican attorneys general of two states as part of a lawsuit alleging that he and other White House officials leaned on social media companies to limit debate about COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic.
“One thing is clear from the 7 hour deposition of Dr. Fauci today,” Missouri Attorney General and US Senator-elect Eric Schmitt proclaimed on Twitter. “When Fauci speaks — social media censors.”
Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry were cleared last month by a federal judge to question the 81-year-old White House chief medical adviser, who is due to retire next month.
It sounds like there was a lot of dodging and ducking on the part of Fauci:

Another tidbit from Fauci depo: In Feb ‘20 he emailed a friend advising her masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On Apr 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed—Lives ruined
COVID tyranny is born

Fauci’s deposition will be sealed, but apparently what wasn’t sealed was the mouth of the court reporter. The woman apparently committed an egregious sin in front of Fauci by not wearing a mask and sneezing. AG Schmitt said that really annoyed Fauci. There were rumors that Fauci was annoyed by this and Schmitt confirmed it:
In the Fauci depo this week the court reporter sneezed. Fauci wanted her to wear a mask
This is the mentality in Nov 2022 of the guy who locked down our country & ruined countless lives & livelihoods
The Experts™️ followed suit. Dissent was censored
In America. Never Again.

LOL. That’s totally on-brand for Fauci.
The fraud Fauci tells a court reporter, who had a sniffle from allergies, to “put a mask on because he didn’t want to catch Covid from her.” ~Natalie Winters @nataliegwinters #WarRoom

It doesn’t seem that Fauci has too much faith in his double-vaxxed & double-boosted status. What gives?
Good lord. #Fauci made the court reporter at his censorship deposition west a mask because she had allergies. He’s 5x boosted and has had covid at least twice

Does anyone doubt the real reason Fauci demanded the court reporter wear a mask was that he likes to exert power over others? https://t.co/REcE1Ihayi

Yeah, that’s become incredibly obvious over the last two-plus years.
