The Senate committee chaired by Rand Paul voted 8-7 this morning to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. If the full Senate agrees, Fauci will be referred to the Justice Dept for potential prosecution. Despicable. Read @saletan.bsky.social on the Republican lies at last week's Fauci hearing:

And how many of those repubs are actually medical professionals? Paul is an optometrist. Not sure how any of those fools are qualified to sit in judgment. They are a group of pompous liars who are yet again trying to deflect their object failure, and the blood on their hands to others.

I could be wrong, but Rand Paul has no intention of putting it to the entire Senate before referral...he is attempting to bypass a full floor vote by fast-tracking the referral straight from his committee

Paul should be careful what he wishes for. Should DOJ be stupid enough to obtain an indictment, there's an excellent chance it gets dismissed with prejudice on 1A and 5A grounds. Which would be a monumental embarrassment. (They seem to enjoy being embarrassed. It happens a lot.)
