The ongoing Fauci story keeps going on, and some elements of it are being solidified into Accepted Fact. What element? Conspiracy.
“Former Fauci adviser pleads guilty in US to conspiring to conceal COVID records,” is the Reuters title. The plea occurred last Tuesday, when “former adviser to infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci” formally admitted guilt for “conspiring to evade public records laws and conceal government documents related to grant research funding and the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The confessed criminal is named David Morens. “The 78-year-old had been indicted in April on charges related to what prosecutors said was a scheme to thwart public records requests received by the agency beginning in April 2020 related to COVID-19 research grants.
He faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced on November 12.
“By pleading guilty today, Dr. Morens has taken responsibility for what he did, and he will continue to do so,” Timothy Belevetz, his lawyer, said in a statement.
The plea came after Fauci, who led the NIAID for 38 years and became the face of the U.S. pandemic response, appeared before a Senate panel last month and repeatedly invoked his right against self-incrimination.
