Rand Paul has been demanding accountability since 2024 when almost no one in government would join him. Last week he posted on X that lying to Congress is a felony, destroying federal records is a felony, and advising others to destroy federal records is a felony, and that Fauci did all three. His advisor was just indicted. Paul's message to the DOJ was direct: Fauci is next, and the deadline to prosecute is May 11th.
That deadline is days away.

David Morens, Anthony Fauci's senior advisor at NIAID, has been indicted by the Department of Justice. The charges include conspiracy against the United States, destruction and falsification of federal records, concealment of records, and aiding and abetting. If convicted on all counts, he faces up to 51 years in prison.

His own emails explain why. In 2021, at the height of the pandemic, Morens wrote to colleagues that he had learned from the NIAID FOIA coordinator how to make emails disappear before a search begins. He put that in writing in a system subject to FOIA requests. He is now indicted.

The aiding and abetting charge carries its own implication. If Morens was aiding and abetting, the question of who he was doing it for has an obvious answer... Rand Paul knows what it is.
