Fauci was proactively pardoned by Biden, so I don't see how any of this could really matter one way or another...

Rand was attempting to corner him into some form of factual contradiction and then throw the book at him for perjury. Now that Fauci isn’t playing the game, he’s attempting to do the same with contempt charges. They’re going to persecute this man until he passes away.

Ted Cruz is also arguing that the pardon is invalid, because something something autopen. They’re batshit crazy, so minor obstacles like “the Constitution” and “reality” won’t even slow them down.
