The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted 8 to 7 on the contempt resolution. The panel’s chair, Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky, said Fauci should be held in contempt for refusing to answer questions about his role during the pandemic. The contempt resolution authorizes the president of the Senate, which is Vice President JD Vance, to certify the Homeland Security panel’s report on Fauci to DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro for potential prosecution.
The misdemeanor crime could earn Fauci up to one year in prison and a $1,000 fine upon conviction.
In his opening remarks before the July 29 hearing, Fauci had denounced Paul for having an “obvious obsession” with him and trying to put him “behind bars.” “Fauci faced no risk of federal prosecution. All he had to do was tell the truth,” Paul claimed shortly before the vote. “More than 100 times, though, he refused.”
Sadly, as most of us know, very little or nothing at all will come of this, aside from the 'good' doctor having to pay himself in to poverty defending himself. I guess that'd be good enough for me. Wudda you guys think?
