Doctor Anthony Fauci’s pre-emptive pardon applies to federal prosecutions, not state prosecutions. That is why state Attorneys General are picking up this baton.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson says that he is “leading a coalition of state attorneys general in an investigation into Dr. Anthony Fauci’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic response, demanding accountability for alleged mismanagement, misleading statements, and suppression of scientific debate.”
There is enough proof to show that he did all of those things. AG Wilson sent a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune to “commend ongoing Congressional efforts to uncover misconduct and request state-level cooperation in pursuing any violations of state laws.”
This means that they want Dr. Fauci to be subpoenaed by Congress. He would not have the ability to plead the Fifth Amendment due to the pardon.
South Carolina is leading this charge but other participating states include: Tennessee, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Idaho, North Dakota, Utah, Indiana, South Dakota, Arkansas, Montana, Missouri, Kansas, West Virginia and Nebraska. Not one Democrat-lead state is curious about this issue.
