Dr. Anthony Fauci was granted a presidential pardon by Joe Biden before leaving the White House. Why? Well, now we know exactly why.
The reason behind it was brought to light by former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who exposed it shortly before her departure earlier month. Fauci claimed that the National Institutes of Health did not fund gain-of-function research on the COVID virus, despite evidence to the contrary. On her way out the door, she dropped bombshells on that little puke:
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard made a major move on her final day in the Trump administration on Thursday, announcing that she would release a series of communications and documents that she says show Dr. Anthony Fauci directed millions of taxpayer dollars toward gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, worked to suppress the COVID-19 lab-leak theory and later lied about those efforts to Congress under oath.“Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024,” Gabbard wrote on X. “The tactics that were used to hide the truth are straight from the Deep State playbook. Politicized self-serving leaders like Dr. Fauci covered up their own wrongdoing and abuses of power, manipulated intelligence, lied to Congress, and undermined a duly elected president by restricting his access to the vital facts he needed to keep the country safe,” she added in her nearly five-minute-long video.

But the pardon…right? Um, yeah. Not so fast, per ace investigative reporter Catherine Herridge:
Per Herridge: Based on the records declassified by DNI Gabbard, what we know now is that under Fauci’s tenure, the NIH funded high risk “Gain of Function” research at the Wuhan lab in China.
