WH Won’t Allow Fauci To Testify In Front Of House Next Week, Claims It Would Be ‘Counterproductive’

[OldLady]

There is no information oversight can't get from the press briefings. We all know the dems are just looking to put on another Shift show by holding closed door hearings and fake leaks.

How about the house hold a hearing on Biden's sexual assault?

They have no purview over Biden. Yet.

The leaks won't be fake but the whole thing is a set up.

No one should or can be allowed to expose the truth, facts, science, or reality during a crisis.

No one knows "the truth" yet. It's not over. We've gotten more "facts" than we know what to do with. As for truth and reality, there is no longer a shared agreement in this country on what that is. Your side will express their truth and reality and the other side will counter with theirs. No different than the long fruitless arguments here on USMB, except with more polite language.

Nonsense. Trump is fact-checked every day and caught telling falsehoods, often by his own staff or Fauchi immediately on live television. Americans have a right to see Fauchi questioned in a stable controlled environment where he can be cross-examined by both sides of a debate or disagreeing parties. We have a House of Representatives and a Senate for ensuring a balance.

The committee is just a front for another lame attempt at impeachment.....I wouldn't allow any of my staff to be harangued by those boobs.

Afraid of a few questions? Why?

What questions doe they want to ask? Be specific.

I'll bet you don't even know how dumb that post is'

So, you have no idea why they are trying to get him to testify. Got it.

 

[berg80]

You are the one twisting yourself into knots. A simple letter for information costs about 20 million dollars less than a full-blown hearing.

$20M?????????? Your excuses are not only factually inaccurate they are lame as all hell.

"Although the House will not be in session next week, lawmakers decided to schedule an in-person hearing for Wednesday before the House Appropriations subcommittee on labor, health and human services, education and related agencies, chaired by Rep. Rosa L. DeLauro (D-Conn.). Lawmakers who choose to attend can do so despite the House being out of session."

You folks never have your facts straight.

You are certainly free to believe that.

I always believe the truth.

That's just it, Camp. Debate and disagreement over how this thing was handled is NOT going to matter a tinker's damn, except to clobber Trump over the head some more. If you know a GOOD reason, besides more debate over when such and such should have happened, let me know what it is.

 

[OldLady]

Does berg80 have me on ignore?

Or am I right?

RIIIIIGHT..."Facts" are why freaks like you run around claiming that Trump told people to bang up bleach.

 

[Camp]

Americans disbelieve Trump. Only his most diehard fans trust him. Trump is afraid of people like Fauchi. Too many people think Fauchi has integrity and is honest. Integrity and honesty are things Trump is allergic to.

President Donald Trump is refusing to let National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who also serves on the White House COVID-19 task force, testify before a House subcommittee hearing scheduled for next week.

White House spokesperson Judd Deere confirmed to the Washington Post on Friday that Fauci would not be allowed to appear in front of the the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies on Wednesday.

“While the Trump Administration continues its whole-of-government response to COVID-19, including safely opening up America again and expediting vaccine development, it is counterproductive to have the very individuals involved in those efforts appearing at congressional hearings,” Deere said. “We are committed to working with Congress to offer testimony at the appropriate time.”

.............................................................................................................................................................
So.............Tony has time to attend Don's televised, daily campaign events.........sorry...........COVID briefings.............where he is forced to watch Capt. Clorox recommend injecting disinfectant but he doesn't have time for congressional testimony?

It's a sign of Don's faith in the devotion of his minions that he would do something so transparent to keep the truth from the public while having no concern over The Following's continued blind loyalty.

Like I've said a million times, these Trumpanzees wouldn't recognize a dictator if one walked up and slapped them across their bloated, sweaty, greasy faces.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Wuhan Fauci, wasn't he the guy who advised Obama to encourage Ebola patients to board commercial airliners headed for the USA and hang out in residential complexes?

Yeah...The same St. Fauci who told us the toe Wuhan Red Death was no big deal back in January....The same St. Fauci who told us that we didn't need to bother with masks back in February, only to now say that they're positively indispensable.

The liberoidals don't have the attention spans of a goldfish.

Why is his testimony being blocked?

Because you don't hand the guy shooting at you more bullets.

Why is so hard for you fucking morons to understand that ?

the maniac is not happy that ppl would rather hear from a brain rather than a brain dead white fuck....ego and ratings is what this fool is focused on. One lies and bends the facts every fuckin day, the other gives reality and facts...who do you think has more death threats? Only in rednecks trash camp America can this be possible.....

 

[Camp]

Trump is afraid of Fauci !!!

 

[Lesh]

Because you don't hand the guy shooting at you more bullets.

Why is so hard for you fucking morons to understand that ?

Fauci is a healthcare official. Head of the NIH. His "agenda" is public health.

I guess talking to Congress about this really serious public health crisis is some kind of threat to Trump. I wonder why that is...

You can begin Impeaching again when folks are not still dying.. NOTHING the House committee is looking for HELPS any of the ONGOING and future efforts... I KNOW THAT because the House has done NEXT TO NOTHING to help out.. Just more inquistions and 2nd guessing and outright LYING about the Administrations performance.

 

[lennypartiv]

The House has the right to and the obligation of oversight. This admin has a lot to hide. So naturally there is conflict.

Could there be a reason Trump doesn't trust the House of Representatives? Those are the crazy people who impeached him.

 

[flacaltenn]

Trump is afraid of Fauci !!!

No actually Trump KNOWS Fauci is NOT infallible.. Even in mid Feb Fauci was giving interviews telling people in USATODAY -- that "the risk of COVID in America is relatively small".. So if you partisan warriors want to HOLD HIM UP as your COVID prophet and know-it-all -- HE WAS CLUELESS about what was coming EVEN ON Feb 17th !!!!!!! Try to get to Trump using Fauci as your best evidence.. It'll backfire and wound you like all the previous circular firing squads you've designed.

'Danger of getting coronavirus now is just minusculely low'

Did the new coronavirus start in a market? Is China fudging COVID-19 numbers? How close are we to a vaccine? Do masks work? Dr. Anthony Fauci answers.

www.usatoday.com

Q. What’s the status of the COVID-19 outbreak?

A. China is in very difficult straits. We have now over 70,000 cases there and (nearly 1,800) deaths. The rest of the world has about 30 countries that have a total of about 500 cases and three deaths. We only have 15 cases in the United States, 13 of which are travel, two of which are spouses of the travelers. As of Monday morning, we now have 14 additional ones, because we flew in the people from the (Diamond Princess) cruise ship.

Q. Is this a pandemic?

A. The World Health Organization is not declaring this a global pandemic, because there isn't a lot of sustained transmission throughout the world. We're really kind of at that brink. If China can contain their outbreak much better than they are and prevent wide distribution, we could avoid a global pandemic. If they don't, we're gonna have a global pandemic. We're teetering right on the line of what's going to happen.

Q. Is there a hard definition of a pandemic?

A. It really is soft. There's no number. It really is open to some interpretation. The general interpretation is that when you have a new pathogen that's spreading widely throughout multiple regions of the world in which there is substantial, sustained transmission (then you have a pandemic).

Q. Could there be a lot of cases in the U.S. that we don’t know about?

A. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is trying to find this out. Are there under-the-radar infections in this country that have gotten in before we did the airport funneling and things? They're doing a sort of a sentinel surveillance in five cities —- New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Chicago — of people who come into clinics with flu-like symptoms but who don't test positive for the flu.


Q. Bottom line, how worried should people in America be?

A. The risk of coronavirus in this country is still relatively low, but, as I said about the possibility of emerging into a pandemic, this could change. As of today, on the 17th of February, the risk is really relatively low. But we, the public health officials, have to take this seriously enough to be prepared for it changing and there being a pandemic.

Q. How confident are you that the Chinese are doing what needs to be done?

A. They're doing things that have completely broken the paradigm of how you respond. They have been, in a draconian way, shutting down everything. They have locked down 50 million people, including the entire 11 million-person city of Wuhan. They will not allow anyone into Beijing unless they have a 14-day quarantine. They're essentially locking people who test positive in their houses. I mean, they're doing things that are almost unheard of in the annals of public health.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, answers the questions from the USA TODAY Editorial Board on Feb. 17, 2020.
Q. Will it work?

A. As unusual and extreme as it is, it might actually, ultimately, have an effect. There's this report that the number of new cases for the last couple of days in China has gone down. I don't put much strength in that unless I see it really start to come down and down and down. A few days of going down doesn't mean anything to me. But if it continues to go down, that might be a signal that they're having an effect of what otherwise would be extreme means.

Q. That would never happen here, would it? Locking down 50 million people?

A. No, not a chance. It would never happen.
