Biden pardon can’t shield Fauci from state charges

by WorldTribune Staff, December 8, 2024 Real World News

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul has called for the Department of Justice to launch a criminal investigation against Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress, a felony.

Reports from the past week, however, have said Joe Biden may be considering a pardon for Fauci which would wipe out any alleged federal crimes.

Biden’s pardon would not cover charges at the state level.

So, will states investigate and possibly charge Fauci and other health officials who pushed policies and hospital protocols that contributed to, or resulted in, tens if not hundreds of thousands of deaths?

Florida, Texas, and Louisiana have already floated that possibility, a report said.

“Rather than hope for a bona fide DOJ investigation of Anthony Fauci and other high-ranking officials for alleged federal crimes, efforts are underway at the state level in Florida, Texas, and Louisiana to have criminal investigations conducted based on violations of state criminal codes,” Paul S. Gardiner, a retired Army officer, wrote for Creative Destruction Media. “If the investigations establish sufficient probable cause of crimes being committed, then the accused individuals can and should be indicted and prosecuted to the full extent of state law.”

A 20-page legal brief with exhibits was submitted by attorneys, including an ex-prosecutor, to the Florida Attorney General and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in October 2023.

Vires Law Group of West Palm Beach announced the filing of a detailed request to Attorney General Ashley Moody for a criminal investigation of Fauci and five other high-ranking federal officials, together with the administrators of hospital systems providing patient care in Florida.

The law group said in a press release that “the filing was made pursuant to the requests of 32 residents of Florida who are next-of-kin of relatives of deceased victims who perished due to COVID-19 infection mismanagement and/or fatal ‘COVID countermeasure’ treatments received while life-saving treatments were suppressed and denied in Florida hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities.”

The filing states that the accused violated Florida criminal law through their widespread and coordinated actions to use taxpayer money with the prosecution authority of government agencies to force healthcare facilities and providers to give Floridians “treatments” under “Covid counter-measures” and “vaccines” they knew would cause suffering and increased mortality, without informed consent and often against the victim’s wishes.

In March 2024, a 26-page legal brief with exhibits was submitted by attorneys to the district attorneys of 22 Texas counties to initiate criminal investigations of Fauci and other officials for alleged Covid-related crimes committed against citizens of Texas.

The criminal referral requests were submitted to the district attorneys for Angelina, Bexar, Brazos, Collin, Cooke, Dallas, Fort Bend, Galveston, Guadalupe, Grayson, Gregg, Harris, Hays, Johnson, Lubbock, Montgomery, Smith, Tarrant, Tom Green, Travis, and Wise counties.

“The requests were made on behalf of the next-of-kin relatives of 46 victims in Texas who request investigation into the deaths of their loved ones under toxic Covid-19 hospital protocols, intentional Covid-19 infection mismanagement, and suppression and denial of life-saving treatments in Texas hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities,” Gardiner noted.

In Louisiana, Gardiner added, a 30-page legal brief will soon be submitted to the state’s attorney general.

“Next-of-kin relatives of nine Louisianians (victims) request investigation into the deaths of their lost loved ones under toxic Covid-19 hospital protocols, intentional Covid-19 infection mismanagement, and suppression and denial of life-saving treatments in Louisiana hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities,” Gardiner wrote.

Those alleged “toxic protocols and treatments” include the use of the drug remdesivir as a Covid treatment and the use of ventilators on Covid patients.

“Regarding remdesivir, the recent testimony of Dr. David Martin before members of the Oklahoma state legislature is daunting to say the least,” Gardiner wrote. “His testimony is a strong indictment of those who supported and administered remdesivir, a drug publicly known to be highly toxic, causing kidney and other organ failure contributing to or causing a patient’s ultimate death.”

In April 2020, Fauci said remdesivir “will be the standard of care,” for Covid. He added: “When you know a drug works, you have to let people in the placebo group know so they can take it. What it has proven is a drug can block this virus,” he said.

Regarding the use of ventilators for Covid patients, a National Library of Medicine report indicates that “—of 69 studies with more than 57,000 patients showed fatality rates of 45 percent—the fatality rate increased to 84 percent in older patients.”

In a September 2024 report, The Defender cited a respiratory therapist as saying there was a “rush” to put Covid-19 patients onto ventilators, causing thousands of needless deaths.

In a March 2020, Fauci said “bottom line” then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo had to have the ventilators he needed to treat people infected with Covid.

“One way or another, he needs the ventilators that he needs and hopefully we will get him the ventilators that he needs. They may be closer to him that is realized but if they’re not, we’ll get them there. And if they are we’ll try to get him access to the ones that are there, Fauci said on CNN’s “State of the Union”. “Bottom line, he’s got to have the ventilators. Period.”
