Jesse Watters Exposes Anthony Fauci's Fifth Amendment Spectacle and Diary Revelations
Jesse Watters reveals Anthony Fauci's congressional hearing where he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times, exposing contradictions between his public promises of transparency and his refusal to answer basic questions. Watters unpacks Fauci's recently released diary entries showing the former NIH director's obsession with celebrity status, his financial gains during the pandemic, and allegations of funding dangerous research in China that may have led to COVID-19. From sabotaging treatments to collecting million-dollar awards while Americans died, Watters argues Fauci prioritized fame and fortune over public health, and despite Biden's pardon, may still face contempt charges for obstructing congressional investigations.
Jesse Watters opened his segment highlighting Anthony Fauci's appearance before Congress, where the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases invoked his Fifth Amendment rights 111 times. Watters showed footage of Fauci repeatedly stating, "On the advice of counsel I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution" in response to even the most basic questions.
When asked simple questions like what day of the week it was or what color tie he was wearing, Fauci gave the same scripted response. The only substantive statement Fauci made during the hearing was a complaint about being mistreated, claiming that releasing his unredacted personal diary was aimed at embarrassing and intimidating him, and that the committee was trying to get him to say something that would vindicate pledges to put him "behind bars."
Media Double Standards on Fifth Amendment Rights
Watters pointed out the media's hypocrisy regarding the Fifth Amendment, showing clips of commentators who previously criticized others for invoking this constitutional protection. The media had characterized pleading the Fifth as something only criminals do, asking whether it was "disgraceful" and "something you only do if you are guilty." Watters noted that everyone just wanted to hear from the doctor, but instead they heard from his lawyer who tried to steal the show and was eventually removed from the room by security.
The Gold Bar Lawyer
Watters revealed that Fauci's lawyer had represented Senator Bob Menendez, who took gold bars as bribes from the Egyptians. Citing the Washington Free Beacon, Watters noted that you hire a lawyer like that "if you were in deep trouble." When asked if he felt he was in deep trouble, Fauci again invoked the Fifth Amendment. Watters found it peculiar that Fauci had more lawyers than O.J. Simpson, especially since he had already been pardoned by President Biden.
Lab Leak and Gain-of-Function Research
Watters stated that everyone knows the virus came from a Chinese lab and that Fauci funded that lab, with receipts to prove it. When asked to explain to the committee why he chose to fund dangerous research in China, Fauci pleaded the Fifth. Watters noted that Fauci is on record saying that man-made viruses are worth the risk, and when asked if he still stood by that statement about gain-of-function research being worth the potential for a pandemic, Fauci again invoked his Fifth Amendment rights.
According to Watters, Fauci knew man-made viruses were dangerous and deadly, which is why he offshored the research. The private sector wouldn't touch it because it was too risky. Watters argued that doctors take an oath to do no harm, and Fauci violated that oath.
Vaccine Injuries and Cover-Ups
Watters addressed vaccine injuries, noting that when Fauci found out the vaccine didn't work as it was supposed to and caused injuries, he covered it up. According to Watters, Fauci himself got injured with a blood clot but didn't tell the public. All of this information was allegedly in his diary. When asked if he would comply with a request for a volunteer transcribed interview about safety signals and injection injuries, Fauci pleaded the Fifth and was told to expect a subpoena.
Treatment Sabotage and Natural Immunity
Watters featured Senator Ron Johnson discussing how Fauci sabotaged treatments like ivermectin. Johnson pointed out that on the same day Fauci claimed there was no evidence that ivermectin was helpful, there was a website tracking random controlled studies showing 60-70% efficacy of high-dose ivermectin. Watters argued that Fauci downplayed natural immunity and over-the-counter treatments so vaccine companies could continue making money and increase their stock prices.
Financial Gains During the Pandemic
One of the most controversial moments in the hearing, according to Watters, was when it was revealed how wealthy Fauci became during the pandemic. Watters showed footage of a congressman stating: "During the pandemic you got rich, didn't you? You got rich while people were dying, hundreds of thousands of Americans, over 1 million in the end, and you were getting rich and not only were you doing that, you were using federal employees with taxpayer money to apply for grants and cash prizes for you personally, cash prizes totaling over $1 million."
Watters claimed that while thousands were dying per day, Fauci was telling staff to put his name down for awards and million-dollar prizes, asking lawyers not to block them. Since it's illegal for federal officials to solicit cash prizes, Watters suggested this could be another charge against him.
Celebrity Treatment vs. Public Accountability
While Americans were quarantining, masking, homeschooling their children, staying six feet apart, canceling Thanksgiving, and facing consequences for contradicting official narratives, Watters argued that Fauci was being treated like a celebrity. Police were breaking up church services and arresting mothers, yet Fauci was doing photo shoots for InStyle magazine. One congressman pointed out the contradiction: "You could sit for InStyle magazine but you can't answer questions from the American people. You could sit for InStyle magazine but you are here taking the Fifth."
New Revelations About Secret Meetings
Watters revealed that new information came out showing Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx had a secret meeting to conspire against President Trump and trap him into shutting down the economy. Additionally, Watters claimed that Fauci bribed scientists with grant money so they would say the virus did not come from the lab. He raised the question of whether Fauci also paid someone to lobby Biden for the pardon.
Senator Rand Paul indicated that Fauci destroyed evidence, including thousands of emails. Watters characterized Fauci as "a greedy mad scientist on a power trip who did not lose any sleep over the lives he destroyed."
No Apology, No Remorse
Watters highlighted that Fauci didn't even have the decency to apologize. Senator Rand Paul expressed his disappointment: "I was disappointed. I had hoped he would come forward and perhaps apologize. A million Americans died and many people, myself included, believe this virus came from a lab that was funded by the U.S. government. The decision for that funding came from Anthony Fauci. A terrible mistake, maybe one of the greatest mistakes in modern medical history, to fund this dangerous research in a less than safe lab in a totalitarian country."
Watters showed footage of Fauci being unable to look at the people behind him in the hearing room, people who were shamed for saying what is now known to be the truth. Like Vice President Kamala Harris on The View, Watters noted, Fauci couldn't think of a single thing he would do differently because all he cared about was himself.
Diary Entries Reveal Narcissism
Watters read excerpts from Fauci's diary that revealed what he characterized as narcissistic tendencies:
"I was totally swamped all night by people wanting to say hello, shake my hands and take pictures with me. I could not get away from it."
"As soon as people recognize me, there was a wave of applause and squealing and screaming and clapping and thanking me with multiple people coming and asking for selfies. It was a little bit embarrassing but it was just a manifestation of how people need a symbol of integrity and truth."
"I was somewhat taken aback by the attention that was paid to me by all the celebrities who were there, who were gushing to have their picture taken with me and to tell me how much they were appreciative of what I had been doing."
Watters compared Fauci's performance to his infamous first pitch, suggesting both were equally poor.
Potential Legal Consequences
Watters concluded by noting that Fauci thought he could escape consequences by accepting the pardon and invoking the Fifth Amendment, but it's against the law to obstruct a congressional investigation, and he could be held in contempt. The issue, as one legal expert explained, is that if someone has been granted complete immunity, Fifth Amendment protections may not apply, and all they have to do is tell the truth.
Watters revealed that there's a vote scheduled for the following week to hold Fauci in contempt, and if he's indicted and convicted, he could face fines and a year in prison. Watters ended his segment by imagining Fauci writing in his diary that night: "Dear diary, on the advice of counsel..."
