Outgoing president Joe Biden may have given former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci a “pass” in the form of a pre-emptive pardon for any crime he may have committed, including creating or spreading “Covid 19,” but he wasn’t able to keep the discredited former bureaucrat in the style in which he had become accustomed.
Just hours after US Sen, Rand Paul (R-KY) provided the necessary documentation and argumentation to end Fauci’s lavish perks…
Today I sent supporting information to end the 24 hr a day limo and security detail for Fauci. I wish him nothing but peace but he needs to pay for his own limos.

…President Donald Trump has pulled the plug on Fauci’s 24/7 limo and security detail, which has cost the US taxpayer an estimated $15 million since 2022.
This indignity for the man once known as “The Science” may not be the final one he suffers. As Constitutional Scholar Jonathan Turley has written, these 11th hour pardons may be a double-edged sword as Congress can subpoena Fauci or any other recipient of Biden’s largesse and under oath – i.e. under penalty of prosecution – question any of them on their past activities. They will not be able to plead the Fifth Amendment because they would be in no danger of self-incrimination having already received a pardon.
Senator Paul has on many occasions accused Fauci of lying to the US Senate while under oath and with his newfound authority as Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee he is in a unique position to get to the bottom of the Fauci business. We are at the moment stocking up on popcorn.
In the meantime, someone needs to let Fauci know that while it may not compare to having a 24/7 limo at your beck and call, Uber Black does provide luxury vehicles to those with more discerning tastes…
