While many of the secrets surrounding Anthony Fauci and the COVID-19 coverup will likely remain hidden, we have received a glimpse into what he was thinking in the weeks, months, and years after the pandemic outbreak.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) released a series of emails Fauci reportedly treated as his personal diary by sending them to himself.
One in particular targeted authors Steve Deace and Todd Erzen, who collaborated on the book “Faucian Bargain,” even though he acknowledged his refusal to actually read it.
Deace, a conservative talk show host, responded on social media, as TheBlaze reported:
Deace noted the diary entry release and fired off a scorching response on social media.
“This is quite possibly the greatest compliment of my entire career I will ever receive, to have annoyed the demonic little elf himself,” he posted.
“And notice he never disputes anything we wrote. The bestselling book has more footnotes than pages, and it’s all been proven true,” Deace added.
Deace reiterated his comment to Blaze News.
“Without question this is the single greatest honor of my career,” he wrote.
Here’s a sample of the supportive comments Deace received:
Thank you!

You should get that framed, and hang it in your studio.

Fox News added these details:
Early entries portray a warm working relationship between Fauci and Trump. Fauci wrote that Trump repeatedly directed questions to him during White House meetings, called him “the smartest person in the world,” told him, “We are counting on you,” and later appeared “enamored” with him as Fauci’s national profile grew.
Fauci’s relationship with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows deteriorated throughout the pandemic. Fauci wrote that Meadows threatened to keep him off television, repeatedly pushed him to soften his public messaging and, in one entry, recounted Meadows “screaming” over his public comments.
Fauci, however, repeatedly described then-White House communications director Alyssa Farah as an ally during internal battles over media appearances. In one May 2020 entry, he wrote that Farah admitted White House staff had been “holding me back,” said the situation had “gotten out of hand” and promised to begin clearing his television requests again.
Not everyone in the administration’s communications operation earned Fauci’s praise. In a July 2, 2020 entry, Fauci called then-HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo “a con man who is completely full of sh–,” writing that Caputo publicly claimed to support his television appearances while privately blocking them.
Television journalists also became recurring figures in Fauci’s diary. CNN anchor Jake Tapper appears repeatedly, with Fauci documenting phone calls, text exchanges and dinners at the Tappers’ Washington home.
