The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on Thursday to recommend former Covid czar Anthony Fauci be held in contempt of Congress.

The vote follows Fauci invoking the Fifth Amendment 111 times during a committee hearing last week on the pandemic response and the origins of the Covid virus.

The vote by the committee, which is chaired by Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, initiates a process that would result in the Justice Department considering whether to charge him with a crime.

Whether the Justice Department does take up the matter is complicated by Joe Biden'a auto-pen pardon of Fauci for any crimes he might have committed dating back to 2014.

Whether Fauci was covered by the pardon during the hearing and the mix of the pardon while pleading the Fifth Amendment is at the center of the legal debate.

“America’s Mengele sauntered in — not, as he ought to have been, wearing an orange jumpsuit and shuffling awkwardly on account of the iron shackles affixed to his ankles — flanked by a half-dozen of the best lawyers money can buy, who had trained him to repeatedly plead the Fifth to every question from Republican Senators (the Democrats, of course, asked him nothing but rather spent their allotted time thanking Fauci for his career of ‘public service’ and regurgitating stale talking points about the vital importance flu vaccines and cancelled NIH grants or whatever),” Benjamin Bartee wrote in the Armageddon Prose blog on Thursday.
