Anthony Fauci should be tried by the Department of Justice for Crimes Against Humanity.

Anthony Fauci has served as medical adviser to the US president and has also served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, an agency within the National Institutes of Health (NIH). On May 11, 2021, during his testimony to the Senate, Fauci swore that ~$600,000 of taxpayer money which was discretely funneled by the NIH via a third party to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China was never allocated to support risky experiments – called gain-of-function research – to genetically enhance the pathogenic power of coronaviruses in bats that infect humans.  

"The NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute," he told Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. 

"The newly unearthed emails show that Fauci was warned at the outset of the pandemic in late January of 2020 that the COVID-19 virus contained "unusual features" that "(potentially) look engineered" inside a laboratory. Unique genetic sequences not found in nature indicated that scientists might have manipulated cells to make the virus more virulent and contagious. Such gain-of-function experiments could have transformed the virus into a lethal "superbug" that then escaped from the lab and ravaged the world.  

Intentionally lying while under oath to Congress about a material matter constitutes the felony of perjury (18 U.S.C. 1621). The giving of knowingly false and misleading statements during testimony (18 U.S.C. 1001) is an equivalent crime regardless of whether the person is under oath. Both offenses result in the same punishment of up to five years behind bars upon conviction.    

There is more than sufficient evidence to justify an investigation by the Department of Justice into whether Fauci gave deliberately deceptive or false testimony when he appeared before a Senate committee. Additionally, Congress has the authority to conduct its own investigation to determine whether Fauci lied at the legislative hearing. 

Beyond Fauci’s potential criminal culpability, there are civil actions at law that come into play. His suspected conduct and the decisions by the NIH could precipitate an explosion of litigation involving wrongful death lawsuits, negligence cases for pain and suffering, and a myriad of claims over financial losses when global economies ground to a halt. This is precisely why a comprehensive investigation into what caused the original COVID-19 transmissions is vital," according to Gregg Jarrett.
