It seems the smoke swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci just keeps getting thicker.
Every time the former government health czar slips out of sight, another revelation pops up about his questionable decisions, his political maneuvering, or his desperate attempts to protect himself from accountability.
The latest twist came from a bombshell conversation shared by independent journalist Nick Shirley, who claims Fauci was frantically seeking a presidential pardon on the very morning Joe Biden shuffled out of the White House.
According to Shirley’s interview with Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr., Fauci’s lawyers were emailing feverishly to ensure their client secured official forgiveness before Donald Trump could return to power.
That is quite the image for the man once portrayed as America’s scientific hero.
By Inauguration Day morning, Fauci and his legal team reportedly had their eyes locked on one goal: getting that pardon signed, sealed, and safely accepted.
Martin confirmed that the pardons were being pumped out by autopen rather than Joe Biden himself.
He explained that, legally speaking, the presidential pardon power is near absolute.
The Constitution grants it without need for procedure or justification.
In other words, Biden or his staff could push through a pardon for anyone they pleased, with or without the President actually lifting a pen.
The troubling part, Martin noted, was that all these last minute pardons were robotic signatures, not real ink.
