A CONTEMPTIBLE CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS CHARGE EXPLAINED.

🙏 I apologize in advance, but a brief trip into the legal weeds is necessary.

But we’ll do it in plain English.

Contempt of Congress is a federal offense for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena, like declining to testify, answer questions, or produce documents, punishable by a fine and up to a year in jail if convicted.

Now, any witness has the Constitutional right to refuse to answer questions and invoke the Fifth Amendment.

Which, upon advice from his lawyers, is exactly what Dr. Fauci did during last week’s kangaroo Senate hearing chaired by Rand Paul, who apparently has an unhinged dislike of the good Dr.

Before he left office, President Joe Biden, fearing that Donald Trump would go on a vengeance spree, issued quite a few blanket pardons to people who worked in his administration.

Dr. Fauci got one of those pardons.

That is the basis of Rand Paul’s charge of contempt.

His argument: since Fauci’s pardon already immunizes him, he had nothing left to incriminate himself on, so pleading the Fifth was invalid, making his refusal to answer contempt of Congress.

So...is Rand Paul right? Not so fast👇
