For a #contempt resolution to carry the force of #Congress, the full #Senate must adopt it; in that case, it would be sent to the #USattorney in Washington, DC [ #JeaninePirro ], who could then present a case to a grand jury. But contempt resolutions require a 60-vote majority, & with 53 #Republicans in the Senate, adoption is highly unlikely.

The vote, along party lines, clears the way for the committee to recommend that the #DOJ prosecute Dr. #Fauci for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena, a #misdemeanor under federal #law. But that does not mean the department will take up the case.

🤬🤯 beyond disgraceful

The #Senate “Homeland Security” Committee voted along party lines on Thursday to hold Dr. Anthony S. #Fauci in #contempt of #Congress for his refusal last week to answer questions from the panel. The committee’s chairman, #Republican Senator #RandPaul of Kentucky, has said he wants to see Dr. Fauci “in prison.”

#RFKJr targets #Fauci & pushes #medical #misinformation in fiery CNN interview

In attempting to rewrite the history of the #US #Covid-19 response, “Health” Secy Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Sunday pinned the blame for pandemic lockdowns on Dr. Anthony Fauci, while simultaneously reviving a string of debunked assertions about #vaccines, #RSV & #measles.

The Capitol emptied out Thursday, a full day before the midnight Friday deadline for funding #DHS. Lawmakers who were deadlocked over new restrictions on #immigration officers jetted off to Munich for a security conference or headed home for a weeklong recess, seemingly unconcerned with the looming closure. It was a jarring change from the past, when lawmakers were reluctant to seem like they were giving up for even a moment before time ran out for a deal.
