Fauci lied about emails in testimony about torture of beagle puppies, watchdog says

July 30, 2024 | | Print Article

A watchdog group has accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of lying to Congress last month about his email habits at work.

When Fauci testified to Congress on June 3rd, he claimed that he’d never conducted “government business on my private email,” but documents obtained by the White Coat Waste Project show otherwise.

Obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the documents show that in October of 2021, Fauci told a journalist that he’d reach out to them via his private email address to discuss a public-relations nightmare over the NIAID’s sick dog research.

“I will send you an e-mail via my gmail account,” Fauci wrote via a work email to Yasmeen Abutaleb of The Washington Post on Oct. 29th, 2021.

According to the New York Post, “The controversial agency-funded research included the tormenting and killing of beagle puppies in Tunisia to learn more about a parasitic disease.”

“The NIAID initially denied involvement but Fauci confirmed this year that his agency indeed approved the grants for the experiments,” the Post noted.

In emails to Abutaleb, Fauci also shared a propaganda article from the leftist “fact-checker” site Snopes about his oversight of HIV clinical drug trials on foster children that occurred in the 1980s. The goal of sharing the piece was evidently to cast doubt on his connection to the dog experiments.

“The Snopes article referenced ‘rumors’ meant to ‘disparage’ the NIAID director that included claimed the HIV trials ‘murdered disabled children,'” according to the Post. “It also suggested Fauci was not responsible for allegations that included his approval of the taxpayer-funded Tunisian dog experiments, which at the time had prompted a bipartisan letter of condemnation from members of Congress.”

“As per our discussion, more of the same,” Fauci wrote to Abutaleb in a bid to dismiss concerns about the dog experiments as stupid.

Yet when he testified last month, he finally admitted that he had indeed “signed off” on the grants for the dog research.

Fauci for his part is sticking by his bull.

His attorney, David Schertler, told the Post that he “stands by his June 3rd testimony before Congress.”

“The email to which you refer involved a personal matter and not a matter related to government business,” Schertler said. “For that reason, Dr. Fauci used his personal email account to communicate about the matter.”

White Coat Waste Project founder and president Anthony Bellotti disagrees and is 100 percent sure Fauci “broke federal law.”

“We’ve followed the money and exposed how Fauci lied under oath about not funding gain-of-function at the Wuhan animal lab, that he lied about not bankrolling beagle torture in Tunisia, and, now, that he broke federal law by using his personal email to evade FOIA requests about Beaglegate and secretly communicate with a Washington Post reporter who then published NIH disinformation to protect him and discredit us,” he said.

“Fauci’s the poster child for government corruption and Congress needs to hold him accountable for his abuses, which carry criminal penalties including fines and jail time,” he added.

Members of the public are for their part clamoring for him to be held accountable:

Of course, it’s extremely unlikely that Fauci will ever face a day in jail, let alone any sort of prosecution. It’s an established fact that in America, leftists are allowed to get away with virtually everything, be their name Anthony Fauci or Hillary Clinton.
