Rand Paul Says He Was ‘Surprised’ Fauci Plead the Fifth

EXCERPT:

PAUL: “You know, I was kind of surprised. You know, he's been granted a very broad pardon, a 10-year pardon. The only person that I know of in history who's gotten a pardon this broad has been Hunter Biden. Maybe not the best category or company to keep. But yeah, I was surprised. He's been given a pardon. All you do is show up and tell the truth. Even if he had deleted records against the law, deleted federal records during that 10-year period of time, all he had to say was, oh, well, I forgot about it. Yeah, I did. And I've been pardoned. You know, if he told the truth about it, the only way he was under any liability is if he lied about it. If he were to say, I didn't destroy records, that was potentially a problem for him. But we know we destroyed records.”
