Dr. Anthony Fauci on Friday declined a request to appear voluntarily before a second Senate panel after majority Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee voted along partisan lines last week to hold the longtime infectious disease expert in contempt.
In a pointed letter to Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, a lawyer for the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said any effort to compel him to appear before a Senate subcommittee, after a contentious July 29 hearing, would be to "impermissibly harass or degrade Dr. Fauci for political purposes.”
Read the initial statement.
“It’s not that he’s done anything incriminating”.
It is not “we can prove in court he did something indicatable”. This is not a case of innocent until proven guilty.
If you are a boss and your subordinate does something wrong that is work related, you are either implicated or negligent. Neither are good.
I’m not correcting Fauci. I’m correcting the inital statement above.
