The day before Thanksgiving, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, deposed Anthony Fauci (head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases [NIAID]) at the National Institutes for Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland.
 
The Gateway Pundit previously reported in May that the Missouri and Louisiana Attorneys General filed a lawsuit (Missouri v. Biden) against the Biden Administration, including Joe Biden himself, Anthony Fauci, the Department of Homeland Security and nearly a dozen federal agencies and Secretaries.
 
The suit alleges a massive coordinated effort by the Deep State, the permanent administrative state, to work with Big Tech to censor and manipulate Americans – from average citizens to news outlets – on issues including the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell, 2020 Election Integrity, COVID-19 origin and extent skepticism, COVID-19 vaccine skepticism, among other issues.
 
As Gateway Pundit has previously written, the Attorneys General, along with Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and several other individuals sued the Biden Administration – including Anthony Fauci – for censoring speech surrounding COVID-19, among a large number of other topics.
 
Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft and attorney John Burns were present at the deposition and witnessed the octogenarian squirm, stall, and lie for seven hours.
 
While the deposition uncovered no smoking guns, the sheer volume of things Fauci “couldn’t recall” or “couldn’t remember,” along with his obvious attempts at providing misleading and deceptive responses, collectively damned his testimony.
 
No reasonable observer could find his testimony to be credible.  Simply put: he lied even when the truth would have made a better story.
 
Here are some observations and highlights from the Fauci deposition:
 
** Fauci is a skillful liar.  As we have seen now for months in his public comments, he lies when he feels he can get away with it or when he feels there will be no meaningful consequences.
 
** Fauci frequently lied unless and until he was confronted with alternate facts.  For example, he claimed he really wasn’t familiar with Ralph Baric (creator of the COVID virus) or Peter Daszak (who brokered Fauci’s NIAID grant money to the Chinese biolab in Wuhan), until he was confronted with evidence that his own chief of staff emailed him describing Daszak and Baric as being part of Fauci’s team!
 
** Fauci claimed that he had no knowledge that his communications team did not coordinate with social media companies to stop “misinformation and disinformation” until he was forced to admit that he actually did know of certain instances of coordination.
 
** Fauci continued to push the now-debunked assertion that COVID-19 was a naturally occurring virus.
 
** Fauci said disinformation and misinformation (information he disagrees with) puts lives at risk.
 
** Fauci refused to define “gain of function” research saying it was too broad of a term to define.
 
** FUN FACT: until VERY recently, Fauci’s daughter worked for Twitter.
 
** FUN FACT: Fauci is a hypochondriac.  In a bizarre and stunning segment during the deposition, Fauci blew off some of his frustration on the poor court reporter.  The court reporter transcribing the deposition sneezed, and Fauci stopped the deposition and scolded the court reporter: “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU??? Do you have some sort of respiratory illness, because in the era of COVID, I’m concerned about being near you.” Court Reporter: “I’m not sick, I just have allergies.  I can wear a mask though.”  Fauci: “Ok.  Thank you, because the last thing I want is to get COVID. [notably, (1) Fauci himself did not wear a mask at any point during the deposition, and (2) he appeared to be several feet away from the court reporter].
 
** FUN FACT: in another Fauci hypochondria spasm, Fauci conspicuously mean-mugged Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry after Landry sneezed into his suit coat jacket.
 
** Gamesmanship.  Whenever introduced to a difficult topic, he dishonestly refused to define key terms so he could avoid being pinned down and held accountable.  For example, when discussing the topic of “gain of function” research, he refused to acknowledge what the term meant, objecting that it was a term so broad it could not be defined.
 
** Fauci repeatedly claimed that he “couldn’t recall” or “couldn’t remember,” and attempted to bolster these incredible statements by appealing to the volume of emails he would receive or issues or studies that would come across his desk.  This is simply not credible for nearly all of such statements, because the incidents in question were either recent or within the past three years, and they were all highly politically charged.
 
** Fauci’s other method of lying was simply to pretend that he didn’t understand something, and then hope the lawyer asking the question wouldn’t be able to catch him in the lie. For example, he very obviously lied at one point when he claimed he didn’t know what Meta (parent company of Facebook) was, until he was forced to admit that he did, in fact, know what Meta was.
 
** Another Fauci tactic: when forced to admit he had made a communication or reviewed a key record at a key time, or knew or worked with a key individual, he would try and downplay each negative fact by (1) downplaying the significance of the communication, (2) suggest that while he reviewed the key record, he didn’t really read it carefully, or (3) with false humility suggest that he was not an expert in X field and so did not fully understand the scientific study at issue, or (4) claim that, while he did “know” said individual, he doesn’t really know them that well because he meets so many doctors and scientists as part of his job.
 
** Other Fauci deceit tactics:  throwing subordinates under the bus.  Fauci is a famous survivor among bureaucrats.  One way he has survived this long is by only taking credit for wins and pawning off losses on hapless subordinates. This trend continued in his deposition, in which he brazenly argued that, while he is the head of the NIAID and its $6 billion dollar budget, he repeatedly didn’t have any knowledge about what his immediate direct reports were doing right under his nose.  Fauci supports accountability, so long as he has a subordinate to sacrifice.
 
** Fauci argued that Hydroxychloroquine was “dangerous” and had “toxic” side effects.  This is absurd, because HCQ is one of the safest medicines known to man, but also because the COVID “vaccine” has killed tens of thousands of people and injured hundreds of thousands more.  Similarly, Fauci’s bogus medical cure, Remdesivir, has almost no positive effect in treating COVID, yet it’s also horribly toxic.
 
** Fauci claimed HCQ was ineffective in treating COVID, but couldn’t cite a single study to support his claim.  Fauci also rejected the list of 371 studies on HCQ and its effectiveness in treating the disease when he was presented with the list.

Fauci is a dirtbag murderer

(2) suggest that while he reviewed the key record, he didn’t really read it carefully, 

I think people who are paid about $800,000 a year by the taxpayer should be able to read key communications carefully, remember them and make the appropriate responses. Highly-paid CEO’s get where they are and do what they do by having great minds, memories and abilities. Either this evil gnome far exceeded the Peter Principle or he is a despicable liar.

“Fix the problem, not the blame” was a motto where I worked. If someone wanted to point a finger at someone else or another department, that wasn’t just accepted; it was reviewed and the accused parties brought forth. The facts would come out. You couldn’t hide your own mistakes and incompetence by blaming it on someone else. But, that requires leadership that is not afraid to address problems instead of just hoping they go away. Fauci is the kind of administrator that simply wants to scapegoat away problems, do as little as possible and make his way through bullshitting the public.

Just the kind of guy the left worships.

It’s hard to overstate how damaging Twitter’s dark years of insidiously massaging public opinion have been to this country. Open debate could have clarified the fog of deliberate disinformation surrounding everything Covid-19. It would have been much harder for public health officialdom to gaslight America over the origin of the disease, and probably impossible to conceal the nefarious operations behind the Emergency Use Authorization, the suppression of effective early treatments, and the direct ties to drug companies’ profits. The result of that has been the broad deployment of dangerous and deadly pseudo-vaccines that have killed millions and disabled many more. The absence of honest debate has turned doctors into murderers and accomplices to genocide.

The scope of this bureaucratic crime is really outside the experience of most Americans, who never imagined that their elected and appointed leaders would act against them with such rank dishonesty, cruelty, and bad faith. But there it is. And if Twitter continues to open up, the more likely that the responsible parties will be held accountable.
