“FBI Director Kash Patel claimed Friday that there was a recent ‘breakthrough’ in the COVID-19 origins probe,” explains a Daily Mail article, repeating information divulged on a Joe Rogan Experience episode.
Fauci, one of the primary medical leaders during the deadly pandemic, is being investigated as part of the larger inquiry into how COVID started and America’s response.
Patel told podcaster Joe Rogan that the FBI originally couldn’t locate any of the [cellular telephony] devices Fauci used during the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 — but they apparently turned up just days ago.
Though this is good news for advancing some transparency on wayward/malign behavior by the country’s former top-paid bureaucrat, the FBI Director cautions not to “jump to the conclusion [that] everything’s in there. Maybe it’s deleted, maybe it’s not, but at least we found it, and at least now we can tell people that we have been looking because it is of public importance.”
Further, Patel admitted that President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardon places additional difficulties upon prosecution.
The Daily Mail article concludes with a background discussion of SARS-CoV‑2 origins:
The FBI and the CIA both asserted that COVID likely came from a lab leak in Wuhan, China, which had been conducting different experiments on coronaviruses in the years preceding the disastrous pandemic.
The lab leak theory was previously denounced as a conspiracy theory during the height of the pandemic. Fauci has been accused of suppressing information indicating the veracity of the lab leak, which he denied before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic last year.
Paul Jacob has written extensively about this subject, from fairly early on in the pandemic story.
One reply on “Fauci’s Phone Found & Seized”
My best guess is that whoever is tasked with extracting data from this equipment will have already been compromised. We may expect Kash Patel to report the data as unrecoverable.
