On the advice of counsel, Dr. Anthony Fauci was instructed to take the Fifth Amendment to any and all questions thrown his way during a recent hearing. Following his attorney’s advice, he did just that.
First of all, Dr. Fauci was pardoned by President Joe Biden in the recent past. Dr. Fauci served his country under seven presidents. Was there anyone else in that room that can say the same? I think not! No, that is wrong. I know not! There wasn’t anyone in that room who can claim such an accomplishment or even come close. His groundbreaking work within his field will most likely stand alone as monumental for eternity. For the Republican senators to slander this individual is simply political grandstanding against an individual who has done more for his country and the world at large than any of those who were in attendance ever will do. Shame on them!
After listening to these individuals, it brought back a memory of seeing our current president on TV, taking the Fifth Amendment, I believe, over 400 times in the recent past. He got so tired of saying, “I plead the Fifth Amendment,” over and over again that he cut his response to simply “the Fifth”!
In closing, make no mistake: Dr. Fauci’s research has saved more lives worldwide than any self-serving politician who used his or her position to grandstand and please the current administration in Washington, D.C.!
For what it’s worth.
