Mo. AG Eric Schmitt has some takeaways from the full transcript of Dr. Fauci’s deposition – twitchy.com
Last month Dr. Anthony Fauci sat for a seven-hour deposition by two Republican attorneys general and you just know the NIAID chief who is “the science” wasn’t happy about being questioned:
Dr. Anthony Fauci was quizzed for seven hours Wednesday by the Republican attorneys general of two states as part of a lawsuit alleging that he and other White House officials leaned on social media companies to limit debate about COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic.
“One thing is clear from the 7 hour deposition of Dr. Fauci today,” Missouri Attorney General and US Senator-elect Eric Schmitt proclaimed on Twitter. “When Fauci speaks — social media censors.”
Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry were cleared last month by a federal judge to question the 81-year-old White House chief medical adviser, who is due to retire next month.
Missouri Attorney General (and senator-elect) Eric Schmitt has followed up on that and has some samples from the full transcript from the Fauci deposition:

If you guessed that there would be a lot that Fauci “can’t recall,” you were absolutely correct:
According to the transcript, Dr. Fauci said “I don’t recall” 174 times, including when asked about emails that he sent, interviews that he gave, and other important information.

The only thing Fauci seems to be able to recall is that he’s infallible when it comes to “the science,” even if he has to do some fast pivots:
Fauci sent a colleague an email in February of 2020 instructing her not to wear a mask when traveling. Just a couple months later, he was advocating for universal mask mandates. pic.twitter.com/ZNVVyJSFj7

Naturally it seems that Fauci was quite impressed by China very early in 2020, and you know what happened next:
One of Fauci’s deputies joined a WHO delegation to China in February of 2020, and in talking to Fauci afterwards, was impressed with how the Chinese “were handling the isolation, the contact tracing, the building of facilities to take care of people..” pic.twitter.com/6uxlxEpFxX

As Republicans are set to take control of the House we likely haven’t heard the end of this.
