Appearing with Tim Pool at the recent Libertarian Party conference, Donald Trump tepidly committed to pursuing prosecution against Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress regarding his agency’s role in creating COVID-19 in a dingy offshore communist lab.
Donald Trump on whether he'll hold Dr. Fauci accountable for lying to Congress:

Looking at the facts, there is no question about whether Fauci perjured himself before Congress by denying that he had funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Any sincere investigation could be wrapped up in half a day by any investigator worth his salt. The trial could be done in the second half of the day. The jury deliberations should take about five minutes, and Fauci could be tossed in prison in about a single business day.
Unlike Trump, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has been on this beat for years now.
At a minimum, Fauci must be prosecuted for lying to congress. The reason the establishment continues their criminality is because no one, except for people in Trump world, is ever held accountable for anything. pic.twitter.com/1JIsFzSMCP

As far as I’m concerned, Trump’s halfhearted pledge is way too little, too late from the former president. But it’s not surprising; Trump has been a miserable failure on COVID from the start, and only blind loyalty could prevent anyone from coming to that conclusion.
This is my speculation, but the only reason Trump is giving any rhetorical nod to prosecuting Fauci now is that a.) he’s been pushed there by his own base that is thirsty for any kind of justice meted out to the Public Health™ demons that destroyed the economy and killed millions of people and condemned an entire generation of American kids to lifelong learning loss, and b.) he is likely feeling the heat from the electoral threat that RFK Jr., who has made COVID justice a pillar of his campaign, poses to his re-election bid.
COVID was the greatest criminal conspiracy in modern history and possibly world history, and Trump has never admitted a modicum of responsibility for not stopping it or at least mitigating it using the power at his disposal.
If Trump had been doing his job from the start, he would have discovered way back in 2020 that Fauci and his co-conspirators were the ones actually responsible for COVID-19 in the first place. He had all of the intelligence at his fingertips, but he either didn’t care or didn’t want to delegate the legwork to uncover basic facts about the NIH’s nefarious funding of NIAID. That burden fell to independent journalists, who paid the price in terms of demonetization and blanket social media bans.
Instead of doing the right thing, Trump allowed Fauci to be put in charge of the whole pandemic response and launched Operation Warp Speed to roll out dangerous injections marketed as “vaccines,” which he has bragged about as late as March of this year.

A relatively minor perjury prosecution for a single government official is the bare minimum. What we actually need is Nuremberg II-style prosecutions for all involved parties and a purging from top to bottom of the public health agencies, if they are allowed to exist at all after this.
That Trump should expect to be praised for crossing the extremely low bar of prosecuting this career criminal for perjury speaks to the total lack of leadership he has exhibited since 2020. There are no excuses for what he allowed during his administration and what he has continued to brag about for years afterward. Forgiveness could be had, but that would first require admitting past mistakes and developing a serious, comprehensive plan to right those wrongs when he assumes office again.
2020 was a total failure of leadership, and the buck stops with the president. He allowed the snakes like Dr. Deborah Birx and Fauci to commander the response to the so-called pandemic. Fauci’s COVID crimes are on him, just as much as they are on previous administrations for allowing the offshoring of coronavirus gain-of-function research for decades prior.
