A Republican-led House subcommittee investigating the origins of COVID-19 is requesting access to Dr. Anthony Fauci’s personal emails and phone records.

The request, set forth in a Wednesday letter to Dr. Fauci from House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairmen Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), comes after Fauci’s former chief advisor testified to the subcommittee that the pair had a “secret back channel.”

Fauci’s former Senior Scientific Advisor, Dr. David Morens, testified at a May 22 hearing before the subcommittee that he “may have” sent information related to COVID-19 to Fauci’s personal email.

An email dated April 21, 2021, from Dr. Morens suggests the advisor attempted to avoid public disclosure laws by sending emails to Fauci on his private email or by handing him document at his house.

“PS, i forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs [Freedom of Information Act requests]. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private gmail, or hand it to him at work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble,” Morens’ email reads.

Another Morens email uncovered by the subcommittee, dated May 2021, makes specific mention of the alleged “secret back channel” between the advisor and Fauci.

In his May22 testimony before the House COVID panel, Morens claimed that the emails were a “joke.”

“According to the communications in our possession, Dr. Morens is not the only official from your time as National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Director that took affirmative steps to avoid transparency,” Wenstrup wrote in his letter to Fauci.

“We are concerned that current and former NIAID officials have and are continuing to seriously undermined public trust by concealing vital information from the American people,” he added.

As a result of these revelations, Rep. Wenstrup is requesting documents or communications from Fauci’s personal emails, cell phones or other electronic devices regarding the Wuhan Institute of Virology, EcoHealth Alliance, Inc.’s research on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab and any communications related to congressional oversight of those issues between January 2020 and the present.

The records are due June 12, 2024.

Fauci is just one puppet. The Covid crimes against humanity run deep in our government and eventually the Department of Defense (specifically BARDA and DARPA) will be exposed. Do I expect them all to be in orange jumpsuits? Not after what happened to Trump with the BS verdict yesterday, but the effort still needs to be made.

I wish they’d go after Fauci like they are with president Trump.
