Kentucky Congressman and House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer has expressed strong concerns regarding Dr. Anthony Fauci's recent testimony, accusing him of perjury and deception. Comer highlighted the importance of thorough research, obtaining emails, working with whistleblowers, and presenting facts accurately to hold Fauci accountable.
Comer criticized Fauci for allegedly lying under oath and attempting to shift blame onto others, including his advisors. He emphasized the significance of transparency and revealed emails suggesting efforts to avoid scrutiny and delete sensitive information.
Regarding potential legal action, Comer hinted at the possibility of recommending Fauci's arrest for perjury to the Justice Department, particularly if there is a change in administration. He mentioned the committee's intention to review Fauci's testimony meticulously and consider bringing back witnesses to clarify discrepancies.
Comer also raised concerns about Fauci's alleged connections with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the pandemic, questioning the nature of their interactions and potential implications. He suggested that Fauci's vague responses regarding intelligence community meetings warrant further investigation.
The discussion touched on the role of Peter Daszak from EcoHealth Alliance, with Comer drawing parallels between Daszak and possible intelligence informants. Comer insinuated that collaboration between Fauci, Daszak, and the intelligence community may have contributed to concealing information about the Wuhan lab and dismissing the lab leak theory.
Comer and the interviewers expressed skepticism about Fauci's explanations, particularly his assertion that any potential lab leak did not involve taxpayer-funded research. They criticized Fauci for what they perceived as evasiveness and lack of accountability.
The conversation concluded with a call for transparency and accountability in addressing the origins of COVID-19, with Comer and others urging for a thorough investigation into Fauci's actions and potential misconduct.
