Louisiana AG says state will investigate Fauci after Senate hearing
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill (R) said her state will investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci after a recent fiery Senate hearing where the former chief White House medical adviser pleaded the Fifth Amendment in response to questions from Republican lawmakers.
In a post on the social platform X on Saturday, Murrill said that “Louisiana and Missouri deposed Dr. Fauci.”
“At the time, he claimed to not recall many key details of his own actions and now we are discovering contemporaneous records he kept,” she added. “Louisiana will join Alabama & Florida in investigating Fauci and whether he committed any other offenses that could be pursued in our State courts.”
On Wednesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) said he was beginning an investigation into Fauci after the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times during a Senate hearing focused on the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Fauci’s lack of candor to Congress is unbelievable,” Uthmeier wrote on social media. “My office is launching an investigation into Dr. Fauci. It’s past time we get the truth of what happened during COVID.”
That’s great and all, we might get some answers in a couple years, but, the time to hold people accountable was years ago. Particularly since the Credentialed Media and Democrats will rally around Fauci and anyone else, despite how badly their own families and lives were messed up.
I remember when the Washington Post was saying that it was pretty much like getting the flu, and that older folks and those with conditions should be careful, but, that it wasn’t a big deal.
Remember all the Talking Points? You’ll get your life back. Oh, well, you need to get a booster. Hey, you still need to wear a mask and stay away. It won’t stop you from getting it, it just won’t be that bad. Well, it might be bad, so, get another booster. And so forth.
The MAGAts are always looking to distract the media from reporting on the horribly bad record of Donny 47. Inflation. Screwed the global econony for no reason. Endless war. Unprecedented corruption. No allies. Lies. Statehood for Greenland, Cuba, Canada!! Stupid tariffs. Pedophile files. Stupid DC destruction, rebuilding, gilding statues.
Donny makes Joe Biden look like Churchill, Lincoln, Mandela and Bismarck.
Mad King Donny has an Enemies List: George Soros, Jack Smith, Tim Walz, John Brennan, The Bidens, Jerome Powell, Lisa Cook, Comey, Dr Fauci, Reid Hoffman, Gov and Mrs Newsom, Schiff, Letitia James, Bolton, Crhis Krebs, the seditious six: Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan and of course the Reflecting Swamp vandals… His personal defense attorney and current Acting like an AG, Todd Blanche, who lost Don Raper’s rape case (34 times) is like!y afraid of Bragg (see below). Blanche also arranged the cushy “not a pardon, yet” transfer for convicted pedophile and Donny buddy, Ghislaine Maxwell. No doubt, Donny promised a pardon if she keeps quiet about Donny’s past.
Anyway, Donny has ordered DOJ investigations of those listed above (plus many others), a clear misuse of our DOJ. Your Mad King has revoked security clearance on several dozen “enemies” and pulled Secret Service protections of others (Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, Gen Milley, Fauci, Pompeo etc).
Donny Dumbass spends more time on grudges and slights than the good of America.
I wonder: does our Trump Derangement Syndrome-afflicted Missourian write all of these “Mad King Donny” screeds himself, or does he just have them programmed into the F7 key on his computer, because they really are all the same.
I remember when the distinguished Mr Dowd used to post at least reasonable comments, complete with hyperlinks to buttress his arguments, but those are his posts of the past. Now it’s just “Donny Dumbass” this and “Don Raper” that.
Well Dana, nearest one can figure is he suffers from histrionic personality disorder, a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive attention-seeking behaviors, usually beginning in adolescence or early adulthood, including inappropriate seduction and an excessive desire for approval. People with HPD have a high desire for attention, make loud and inappropriate appearances, exaggerate their behaviors and emotions, and crave stimulation …
He’s become increasingly distraught since losing that $78M.
I wonder: do our tRump Devotion Syndrome-afflicted KY, LA and TX cultists write all the nonsense themselves?
Do yourselves a favor and stop reading my “screeds”.
Alternatively, you could tell us all about Mad King Donny’s positive effects on the world and the nation!!
1. Do YOU believe Donny Dumbass really believes that vandalism f’ed up his Deflection Pool? Not even FOX News Jeanine Pirro, appointed as DC prosecutor, could lie about any longer.
2. The national debt will soon reach $40 TRILLION. We’ll be spending as much in interest as we do on several actual valuable programs. Thank the gods that Donny is proposing a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget next year so we’ll spend less on interest ($1 TRILLION) than on defense!!
We get it: in your bubble you can avoid any of Donny’s bizarre failures. Do yourself a favor and just stop reading.
Or maybe band together and have Porter ban me for Good.
See? Classic HPD.
A grown ass man acting like the proverbial middle-school mean girl.
It is all about you, Rimjob, and don’t forget it.
Bwaha! Loser!
MAGA47 Motherfucker!
Dana,
Should the United States president be able order the acting AG (who happens to be DJT’s defense attrney) to investigate his political “enemies”, many of whom worked for Donny!
BTW… The Department of Justice is NOT structurally independent under the Constitution, but it is expected to operate independently regarding specific law enforcement decisions. As a part of the executive branch headed by the Attorney General, it ultimately answers to the President, yet decades of post-Watergate norms and internal policies insulate criminal investigations from political interference.
Donny does NOT abide by our norms, internal policies, traditions, customs or mores.
Would you expect a President Newsom to order investigations into Don Jr, Eric, the Kushner klan, Blanche, Stephen Miller, Peter Hegseth, RFK Jr, Bessent, Lutnick, Homan, Noem, the ICE agents who killed citizens and non-citizens, Donny’s finances, his Qatari luxury airliner and the president’s billionaire donors?
Aren’t you in full support of the president’s precedent?
Sadly, what Dr Fauxi did was lie to government officials who actually had the power to take actions; it was people like Governor Andy Beshear (NSDAP-KY) and others who shut down businesses, closed churches, and imposed other unconstitutional restrictions. Mr Beshear’s order closing churches was declared unconstitutional in federal court, but not until after ten weeks had passed, with our free exercise of religion denied, with our right of peaceable assembly trampled upon?
We already knew that Dr Fauxi didn’t really know what the ‘vaccines’ would do, and admitted it to his own diary, but he told government officials that it would do certain things, things which turned out to be false. How many people lost their jobs due to those lies? How many people were kept away from their families during their last days? How badly damaged was our economy by the actions taken during the panicdemic? How many students lost a whole year of school to ineffective ‘distance’ learning?
Fauci received the Presidential Commendation award from president Trump for his work for pushing through the vaccine at warp speed
The top 4 states that had the highest per capita covid death rates were all red states that also had the lowest vaccination rates.
Of course the states that had the lowest prtcapita covid death rates were those deep blue states
Really, Johnny? Sweden, which didn’t lock down, had lower fatality rates than many other countries that did, including Peru, Bulgaria, Hungry, Croatia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Greece, U.S., Romania, Lithuania, United Kingdom, Brazilian, Italy, Chile, Poland, Belgium, Paraguay, Argentina, Portugal, and the European Union.
Jill,
90% of the deaths in Sweden were of seniors, 70 years and older.
Norway, Sweden’s western neighbor, DID lockdown and had even a lower mortality rate.
“Swedes were encouraged to work from home if possible and limit travel within the country. In addition, people aged 70 or older were asked to limit social contact, and people with COVID symptoms were asked to self-isolate. The goal was to protect the elderly and other high-risk groups while slowing down the spread of the virus so the healthcare system wouldn’t become overwhelmed.
As the number of cases surged, some restrictions were imposed. Public events were limited to a maximum of 50 people in March 2020, and eight people in November 2020. Visits to nursing homes were banned and upper secondary schools closed. Primary schools did, however, remain open throughout the pandemic.
During spring 2020, the reported COVID death rate in Sweden was among the highest in the world. Neighbouring countries that implemented rapid lockdown measures, such as Norway and Denmark, were faring much better.
Although Sweden was hit hard by the first wave, its total excess deaths during the first two years of the pandemic were actually among the lowest in Europe.”
In Covid deaths per capita Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Netherlands, Australia, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Ireland, Turkey, Switzerland had fewer than Sweden.
The Sweden “miracle” was overhyped.

I don’t see where this is going. It looks like grandstanding on the part of the states. Fauci was an advisor. Some states took his advice, some did not. Fauci’s crimes were federal, not state. Interesting to me is Fauci taking the 5th in congress. The speculation by legal analysts is that Fauci and his legal team do not believe his pardon is valid since it was autopen and no paper trail back to Biden.
Either way, the states have no play in this.
MILLIONS knew Fauxi was lying in 2020. Why is it suddenly SAFE to pretend to try and hold him accountable?
Apparently Trump didn’t know he was lying because he gave him that Presidential Commendation award (2nd highest award that could go to a civilian,)
The states that did not take Fauci’s advice all had higher per capita death raes.
People in blue states took his advice and consequentially they then had lower per capita death rates
DUH !!
Millions knew?
Millions is that even a significant number?
10% of adult Americans either believe believe fully or partially the Earth is flat.
Dunning Kroger
Over 100 MILLION knew Donny was lying in 2020 and early 2021. Why is he SUDDENLY SAFE from accountability? He was elected in 2024 and received immunity. Lock him up!!
Fauci’s diary put Covid’s fatality rate at 0.2-0.3% (Feb. 8th, 2020). Under oath weeks later, he told Congress it was 10x the Flu.
Mar.10 on Hannity show “mortality rate is 2-2.5%”
