Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry says the public will “be shocked” when it finds out just how little Dr. Fauci could recall during last week’s deposition about “some of the most important actions and discussions” when he was chief medical adviser during the Covid pandemic.
The Republican AG told Fox News: “It is certainly disturbing. And calls into question, you know, his overall mental capability to remember certain key details.”
During seven hours of questioning under oath, relating to a lawsuit alleging that he and other Biden administration officials colluded with social media companies to censor Covid related content, Fauci claimed he had “no clear memory of details that would shed light on his involvement in speech suppression.”
The transcript is not yet available and no reporters were allowed….however from the attorneys general who brought the suit, the plaintiffs in the case and their attorney, and other parties to the lawsuit against the Biden administration, there is some information about the deposition provided by Dr. Anthony “I am the science” Fauci.
The Defender reports: He has been the face of the pandemic response and stands accused of colluding with Big Tech to suppress dissent in violation of the First Amendment.
The question of whether the deposition was to be public was itself the subject of legal attention. The Department of Justice filed to block all recording and personally identifiable information for fear of public harassment, and this condition was granted.
As a result, we have no transcript (yet) and one senses a great skittishness even from those who were there to explain the fullness of what transpired. Major national media have shown no interest in getting the story.
Nonetheless, we do have information thanks to some candid tweets and an article by one of the plaintiffs. The main takeaway is that Fauci has come down with a serious case of amnesia.
Over seven hours, reported Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, he mostly stonewalled detailed questioning by answering that he has no clear memory of details that would shed light on his involvement in speech suppression.
“Wow! It was amazing to spend 7 hours with Dr. Fauci. The man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon ‘the science.’ Only to discover that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!”
