Here is the Full Transcript of Dr. Fauci's Opening Statement, Why He Pleaded the 5th in His Own Words
by Anne P. Mitchell, Esq. - attorney, law professor emeritus, and author of Federal law
I paid to have Fauci's opening statement transcribed for you guys, so that you can read for yourself how he said *right up front* that he was going to answer every question by pleading the 5th, and *why*.
(Of course you can also watch it on YouTube, but for those of you who prefer to read, or who want to keep a record of it for posterity, or who want to see Fauci calling Rand Paul "unhinged" in print, well, Notes from the Front members, the transcript is below. :~) )
As I've reminded you before, invoking your 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination does *not* mean you are guilty. It *doesn't* mean that you have something to hide. Sometimes, such as here, "against self-incrimination" means "protecting myself from falling into a trap being set by those trying to persec..er.. prosecute me".
But he says it much better than I.
Notes from the Front members: the transcript is below for you.

P.S. If you actually read all the way to the bottom please leave a sentence in a comment that includes the word "unhinged". It will show me that my efforts aren't in vain and that people actually *do* read these things, and it will drive those who just skim crazy wondering just why everyone is talking about being unhinged! ;~)
