Is that really their only concern?
MS NOW Panelist Warns Fauci Pleading the Fifth Is ‘Setting the Playbook’ for Pardoned Trump Admin Officials https://t.co/aUbB01oAcu

Maybe they should worry more about finding out what Fauci knew and when and less about what Trump officials may do in the future.
Anthony Fauci’s repeated invoking of his Fifth Amendment rights on Capitol Hill could be the future “playbook” for Trump Administration officials if Democrats take control of Congress, one journalist predicted.
Fauci cited his right against self-incrimination numerous times on Wednesday, and without flinching under questioning from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and others about his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in the wake of his private diaries being made public.
Appearing on Money, Power Politics with Stephanie Ruhle, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Washington correspondent for Puck, predicted Fauci’s use of the Fifth Amendment will come in handy for current administration officials should Democrats call them to testify years from now.

Sure, he never cared about Americans. Only his career. pic.twitter.com/RtCPlJOCx7

He only cared about his ego and being famous.
Joe Biden giving blanket pardons for unnamed crimes over a decade is the problem, but the fact that Trump might eventually do the same.

All they do is obsess about Trump.
Always ignoring the original offenders (Democrats) who set abhorrent precedent, then accuse and shift focus to others.

Cult behavior.
Democrats have no ability to self-reflect.
Yep. Way to think it through Democrats

You can thank Joe Biden for that one.

Someone needs to ask him who won the 2020 election. When he pleads the 5th, call him an election denier forever

That would be hilarious.
Only problem is, this is all occurring in Washington, D.C. D.C. juries will happily nullify for Fraudci but not for Trump or any Trumps Administration official.

Unfortunately, that is true.
