Well, what do we have here.
It looks like House Republicans have unearthed emails that could put Dr. Anthony Fauci in hot water.
These emails suggest Fauci knew about the destruction of government documents related to COVID-19’s origins.
And now these Gmail exchanges from David Morens to Fauci are the focus in the House Select Subcommittee’s investigation into how the NIH handled the COVID situation.
The threads are starting to be exposed and pulled.
And once unravelled, there’s no stopping the full exposure.
Top Fauci advisor Dr. David Morens asked in an email if he would receive kickbacks from COVID and COVID vaccines.
This is a question Dr. Fauci still refuses to answer under oath.

Washington Examiner reports:
Emails uncovered by House Republicans from the senior adviser to former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci may implicate him in knowledge of the destruction of government documents related to the origins of COVID-19.
The private Gmail communications from David Morens, who worked under Fauci since 1998, have become a flashpoint in the investigation from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic into the National Institutes of Health’s hand in the early days of the public health crisis.
The subcommittee released 155 pages of subpoenaed emails from Morens and former NIH employee Gerald Keusch just hours before Morens was slated to testify on Wednesday before the panel on allegations that he had intentionally destroyed federal records and deliberately attempted to obscure information from public oversight requests.
Gmail messages sent between Morens and the president of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, reference shielding information from Fauci regarding Daszak’s grant project at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, funded by the NIH. The emails also included discussions alluding to other efforts to ensure that there was not a paper trail connecting Fauci to their discussions.
In a Gmail communication sent to Daszak and Keusch, Morens wrote that there is “no worry about [Freedom of Information Act] requests” on April 21, 2021.
“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,” he added.
During the public hearing, Morens said that he and Fauci “usually never talked about” using personal email or phone to communicate with Daszak.
Morens also wrote to Daszak that Fauci and former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins were intentionally trying to distance themselves from the grant project at the Wuhan lab.
“From Tony’s numerous recent comments to me, and from what Francis has been vocal about over the past 5 days, they are trying to protect you [Daszak], which also protects their own reputations,” Morens wrote to Daszak on Oct. 25, 2021.
At the time of the communications in 2020 and 2021, Daszak’s grant that was intended to study bat coronaviruses in southwestern China had been suspended by the Trump administration.
ADVERTISEMENTDaszak enlisted Morens, whom he described during congressional testimony as his “mentor,” and Keusch to strategize to reinstate the grant.

Fox News adds:
Sen. Rand Paul is calling on the Justice Department to probe whether a top adviser to Dr. Anthony Fauci improperly concealed, and perhaps even destroyed, documents pertaining to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Kentucky Republican is formally calling for an investigation into accusations of improper concealment and destruction of COVID-19 origin records by Dr. David Morens in a letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday.
The letter, citing emails obtained by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, presents “significant evidence” suggesting Morens may have violated federal law by hiding and erasing records related to the origins of COVID-19 to avoid leaks through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
“Moreover, newly revealed emails suggest a broader conspiracy within the NIH FOIA office to assist Dr. Morens in unlawfully destroying records and evading public records laws,” Paul wrote.
For his part, Fauci has repeatedly publicly repudiated theories suggesting a lab leak as the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ADVERTISEMENT“These emails provide strong evidence that Dr. Morens violated federal law by concealing and destroying federal records. It is imperative that your Department investigate the allegations against Dr. Morens and, if substantiated, ensure that he is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” the letter continued.
Paul’s letter comes as emails recently released between Morens and the president of a non-governmental organization being funded to conduct coronavirus research in Wuhan, China, the EcoHealth Alliance, were investigated by House lawmakers last week.
Here’s Rand Paul going over this with Fox News:
It's a felony to destroy records. It's a felony to destroy evidence. Without question, Morens has admitted in his emails that he was destroying evidence. David Morens is Anthony Fauci's Michael Cohen, he's the fixer. pic.twitter.com/vq9P1XoxPy
