Fauci's Pleading of the Fifth Raises Questions on Accountability. In a stunning display of defiance, Dr. Anthony Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent a staggering 111 times during a Senate hearing on Wednesday, despite having secured a pre-emptive presidential pardon that supposedly shields him from prosecution. The development has sparked widespread outrage and confusion, with many wondering why Fauci, who has been a key figure in the country's COVID-19 response, would choose to plead the Fifth when he claims to have immunity. The incident has left many questioning the true nature of Fauci's pardon and whether it provides the blanket protection he claims it does.
What a cowardly and shameful final chapter for Dr. Anthony Fauci, who pleaded the Fifth 111 times in the Senate Wednesday even though he has a pre-emptive presidential pardon that gives him immunity from prosecution.
