Rand Paul on Plan to Hold Fauci in Contempt: There Is a Possibility that We Go Directly to DoJ

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “Well, it’s not actually a law, it’s a resolution. So, it’s a resolution saying that he should be considered for charges for contempt of Congress. I think if that resolution passes our committee, which it will, then it could simply be referred directly to the Department of Justice. Now, we can debate that, but since it’s not really a law, it doesn’t have an exact procedure. It doesn’t have a procedure where it goes to the president for signature. It doesn’t have to go to the House. I myself have individually referred him in the past for prosecution. I sent two letters saying that he destroyed records and he lied to Congress, both felonies. I sent that to the Biden DoJ. It wasn’t acted upon. I’ve also sent it to the Trump DoJ twice. I’ve sent information and evidence saying it did so. So, I think there’s a possibility that we don’t go to this whole Senate floor, but that the committee passes it and we go directly to the Department of Justice.”
