From Fauci to Big Tech, GOP already has clear investigative targets if it wins back Congress – By John Solomon (Just The News) / December 20, 2021
Though election is a year away, House Republicans already know what they want to investigate and who they want to subpoena.
Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan is the most likely candidate to take over the House Judiciary Committee if the GOP wins back Congress next year. Ask him what he wants to investigate and who he wants to subpoena, and he doesn’t hesitate. Not even for even a second.
“Fauci,” he told Just the News, referring to Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. infectious disease specialist overseeing America’s pandemic response.
While the many conflicting messages and reversals of the pandemic response are ripe for investigation, Republicans like Jordan also want to press Fauci about why America was funding China’s bat research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through a U.S. nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance and why NIH revived a dangerous form of experimentation known as gain of function in 2017.
“You know, Dr. Fauci knew on January 31 2020, that [the COVID-19 outbreak] most likely came from a lab,” Jordan said during an interview with the John Solomon Reports podcast. “He got an email from Dr. Christian Anderson, which said the virus looks engineered, the virus is not consistent with evolutionary theory. That is a fancy way of saying this thing came from the lab, and yet he misled us for over the last year saying, ‘Oh, no, no, no, that’s not the case.’ He got articles written and everything else. So we need to investigate that.”
