Anthony Fauci’s Legacy Was Cemented in His Pathetic Senate Appearance
Derek Hunter
It was not what was expected – the weaselly Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth Amendment, protecting himself from self-incrimination – but it was more of an admission of guilt, ultimately, than if he’d simply confessed to creating the COVID-19 virus in his basement himself.
The Fifth Amendment reads, “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”
The relevant part, since Fauci was not in the military, is where no one “shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” If you were robbing a bank at 3:00 on Tuesday, you can’t be compelled to tell the police where you were at that time, even if they can figure out other ways.
But Fauci can’t be charged federally with any crime at all, for anything, as long as it was committed from 2014 till January 19, 2025. He could “confess” to any federal crime and laugh about it for the rest of his miserable life. The only “crime” related to that time would be if he committed perjury while talking about it.
