Faucis preemptive pardon UNDER SCRUTINY as legal questions mountcan test with · THE DAILY BRIEF

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, that was Anthony Fauci taking the Fifth Amendment one
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of one hundred and eleven times during the Senate Homeland
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Security hearing, refusing to answer any questions about what Fauchi
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: knew about the COVID pandemic. Afterwards, the committee voted to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: hold him in contempt of Congress. Here's Kentucky Senator Rand
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Paul with me right before the hearing.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: We know that the initial estimate by the scientists at
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the CIA was that this came from the lab. They
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: agreed with our supposition, but Anthony Fauci was able to coerce, cajole, persuade,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: and dangle money to get people in the intelligence community
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to change their vote. It's a pardon that goes over
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: ten years and doesn't have specific crimes. The only other
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: pardon like this in the history of United States would
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: be what Hunter Biden received, and there's been a lot
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: of questions about that.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Well, now three states have pursued Fauci investigations and subpoenas.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Among them, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer is looking into
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: whether Fauci personally benefited financially or professionally from decisions he
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: influenced while serving at the National Institutes of Aid. Importantly,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's preemptive pardon of Fauci is executed on the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: morning that Biden left office, just hours before President Trump
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: took the oath of office on January twentieth, twenty twenty five.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: That does not protect Fauci from state law exposure. Joining
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: me now, the man himself, Florida Attorney General, James Uthmeyer
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: and age, thanks very much for being here, and let's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: start there. What about Joe Biden's pardon on Anthony Fauci.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Does that touch Florida state law or not?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: It does not.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know why you need a pardon if you
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: didn't do anything wrong. Doctor Fauci clearly doesn't want to
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: answer questions, but the American people still have a lot
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: of questions, especially Floridians. So I think Senator Ran Paul
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: for continuing the search for truth and revelations over the
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: last couple of weeks have revealed a lot.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: He did not believe a lot of the.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Mandates and protocols that he was pushing. He doubted safety
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: and efficacy of the so called medical treatments, yet nevertheless
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: forced them on the American people.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: They've been injured, there's deception.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: We're going to search for accountability and do everything we
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: can in Florida under our state laws.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So you now have subpoenaed fauci as part of this investigation,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and you're looking into potential self dealing or profiting from
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: COVID era policies. Are you saying he took money or
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: new jobs and that's why he was not saying what
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he truly believed.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: We are most certainly looking using every tool under Florida
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: law to figure out what kind of self dealing was
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: going on.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Government officials. They have a lot of immunities under the law.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: We've got an uphill battle.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: But where there's monetary value increases and somebody's going aside
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: from their state job or their government job, to do
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: book deals, to seek awards to the tune of millions
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: of dollars, that's a problem. Where you have deception and
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: injury and somebody is making a lot of money on
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the side, there needs to be accountability. So yeah, we're
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: going to clearly look into this a lot further, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: if indeed he's making a lot of money off of
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: this big COVID lie, he should pay for it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Bottom line, do you believe Fauci committed a crime.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: I can't say that right now. We follow rules of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: procedure and evidence. I mean I could say generally, I
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: think what he did to the American people was horrific.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: People died because of him, People got hurt because of him.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: People couldn't be there for the birth of their first
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: child or the loss of a loved one because of him.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: And if he is making money on the.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Side while perpetrating this fraud, there could very well be
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: criminal liability.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: But we're going to start with civil.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Criminal everything from public nuisance to deceptive trade to fraud.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: We're going to look at every aspect of Florida law
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: and do everything in our power to seek truth and accountability.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And I know you said that the pardon that Biden
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: put in place does not affect Florida state law or
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: any state law. But what about the DOJ. Do you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: think that the DOJ has found any paperwork or is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: there any evidence that links Biden to the pardon? Did
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: he actually sign the pardon or was it an auto
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: pen and count the part and be challenged.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I certainly think there are legal questions around the use
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: of the auto pen, whether or not President Biden actually
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: knew what was happening, if there was agency there to
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: execute these things. I know the Department of Justice is
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: looking at this. We're happy to help them however needed,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: and there could be liability for various things at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: federal level, but we're going to focus on the state level.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I've been doing meetings with multiple senators and their offices.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: They've committed it to gathering evidence and getting everything to
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: us so that we can do the best job we
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: can to find transparency and accountability for the people of Florida.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: And Americans generally.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I'm grateful to other attorneys general out there that want.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: To work with us on this, and I hope more
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: will come to the table.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I know that other states are also probing Fauci in Louisiana,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: West Virginia, Alabama, other attorneys general. Are you coordinating with
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: them at all? And after he took the fifth so
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: many times, what was it that you heard that felt
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that Florida needed to get involved.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: Well, we were certainly shocked by his lack of candor
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to Congress.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: He says, I'm the.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Science, I'm the guy you know, I'm the most famous
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: guy in the world. Is what he's writing in his diary,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: and yet he won't even answer questions for the people
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: of this country.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: So that opened our eyes.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: But more importantly, new evidence came to light about his
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: doubts about the safety and efficacy.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: He's pushing things on New York and Florida.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: He's coming down here criticizing what we're doing in the
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: state of Florida, all the while privately expressing doubts over
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: the safety. So this shows the most clear and explicit
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: evidence we've seen that he lied to the American people
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: and they suffered. And where there's lies in the perception
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: that leads to injury, there needs to be legal accountability.
