HERE IS THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF DR. FAUCI’S OPENING STATEMENT, WHY HE PLEADED THE 5TH IN HIS OWN WORDS
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. – attorney, law professor emeritus, and author of Federal law
I paid to have Fauci’s opening statement transcribed for you guys, so that you can read for yourself how he said *right up front* that he was going to answer every question by pleading the 5th, and *why*.
(Of course you can also watch it on YouTube, but for those of you who prefer to read, or who want to keep a record of it for posterity, or who want to see Fauci calling Rand Paul “unhinged” in print, well, Notes from the Front members, the transcript is in your inbox now. :~) )
As I’ve reminded you before, invoking your 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination does *not* mean you are guilty. It *doesn’t* mean that you have something to hide. Sometimes, such as here, “against self-incrimination” means “protecting myself from falling into a trap being set by those trying to persec..er.. prosecute me”.
But he says it much better than I.

It will show me that my efforts aren’t in vain and that people actually *do* read these things, and it will drive those who just skim crazy wondering just why everyone is talking about being unhinged! ;~)
