FEDERAL JUDGE TO DOJ: Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki WILL BE DEPOSED

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, along with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, Biden,  Anthony Fauci, the Department of Homeland Security, and various agents in different agencies. The Biden administration tried to get the case dismissed. The judge decided to allow the plaintiffs to depose eight people. The main witness at least at this time is Jen Psaki. She and the Biden administration have tried everything to keep her from testifying.

The lawsuit states tha5t the Biden administration and Big Tech colluded on censoring sites that won’t toe the liberal ideology. That includes almost all conservatives. The idea is that a company, let’s say Facebook decides to ban someone for any reason. They are a private company and they have that right, but if they were censoring material that disturbs the Biden administration and they tell Facebook to ban someone and they do, that is an abuse of power.

Here’s a copy of the First Amended Complaint.

The federal government, through their Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers, has fought hard to stop the lawsuit. However, before a decision on whether the suit must be dismissed, the Court ordered that a limited investigation must take place (known as limited discovery, as opposed to general discovery). This decision has allowed the Attorneys General for Missouri and Louisiana to take roughly eight (8) depositions prior to the hearing on the motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Psaki must sit for a deposition between now and the end of 2022. They have already deposed Dr. Faucistein. Once they have the eight depositions a court date will be set for a hearing on the dismissals. This time they will be armed with the depositions and that makes a difference. 

From the Faucistein deposition:

From The Gateway Pundit

** Fauci is a skillful liar.  As we have seen now for months in his public comments, he lies when he feels he can get away with it or when he feels there will be no meaningful consequences.

** Fauci frequently lied unless and until he was confronted with alternate facts.  For example, he claimed he really wasn’t familiar with Ralph Baric (creator of the COVID virus) or Peter Daszak (who brokered Fauci’s NIAID grant money to the Chinese biolab in Wuhan), until he was confronted with evidence that his own chief of staff emailed him describing Daszak and Baric as being part of Fauci’s team!

** Fauci claimed that he had no knowledge that his communications team did not coordinate with social media companies to stop “misinformation and disinformation” until he was forced to admit that he actually did know of certain instances of coordination.

** Fauci continued to push the now-debunked assertion that COVID-19 was a naturally occurring virus.

** Fauci said disinformation and misinformation (information he disagrees with) puts lives at risk.

** Fauci refused to define “gain of function” research saying it was too broad of a term to define.

** FUN FACT: until VERY recently, Fauci’s daughter worked for Twitter.

** FUN FACT: Fauci is a hypochondriac.  In a bizarre and stunning segment during the deposition, Fauci blew off some of his frustration on the poor court reporter.  The court reporter transcribing the deposition sneezed, and Fauci stopped the deposition and scolded the court reporter: “WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU??? Do you have some sort of respiratory illness, because in the era of COVID, I’m concerned about being near you.” Court Reporter: “I’m not sick, I just have allergies.  I can wear a mask though.”  Fauci: “Ok.  Thank you, because the last thing I want is to get COVID. [notably, (1) Fauci himself did not wear a mask at any point during the deposition, and (2) he appeared to be several feet away from the court reporter].

** FUN FACT: in another Fauci hypochondria spasm, Fauci conspicuously mean-mugged Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry after Landry sneezed into his suit coat jacket.

** Gamesmanship.  Whenever introduced to a difficult topic, he dishonestly refused to define key terms so he could avoid being pinned down and held accountable.  For example, when discussing the topic of “gain of function” research, he refused to acknowledge what the term meant, objecting that it was a term so broad it could not be defined.

** Fauci repeatedly claimed that he “couldn’t recall” or “couldn’t remember,” and attempted to bolster these incredible statements by appealing to the volume of emails he would receive or issues or studies that would come across his desk.  This is simply not credible for nearly all of such statements, because the incidents in question were either recent or within the past three years, and they were all highly politically charged.

** Fauci’s other method of lying was simply to pretend that he didn’t understand something, and then hope the lawyer asking the question wouldn’t be able to catch him in the lie. For example, he very obviously lied at one point when he claimed he didn’t know what Meta (parent company of Facebook) was, until he was forced to admit that he did, in fact, know what Meta was.

** Another Fauci tactic: when forced to admit he had made a communication or reviewed a key record at a key time, or knew or worked with a key individual, he would try and downplay each negative fact by (1) downplaying the significance of the communication, (2) suggest that while he reviewed the key record, he didn’t really read it carefully, or (3) with false humility suggest that he was not an expert in X field and so did not fully understand the scientific study at issue, or (4) claim that, while he did “know” said individual, he doesn’t really know them that well because he meets so many doctors and scientists as part of his job.

** Other Fauci deceit tactics:  throwing subordinates under the bus.  Fauci is a famous survivor among bureaucrats.  One way he has survived this long is by only taking credit for wins and pawning off losses on hapless subordinates. This trend continued in his deposition, in which he brazenly argued that, while he is the head of the NIAID and its $6 billion dollar budget, he repeatedly didn’t have any knowledge about what his immediate direct reports were doing right under his nose.  Fauci supports accountability, so long as he has a subordinate to sacrifice.

** Fauci argued that Hydroxychloroquine was “dangerous” and had “toxic” side effects.  This is absurd, because HCQ is one of the safest medicines known to man, but also because the COVID “vaccine” has killed tens of thousands of people and injured hundreds of thousands more.  Similarly, Fauci’s bogus medical cure, Remdesivir, has almost no positive effect in treating COVID, yet it’s also horribly toxic.

** Fauci claimed HCQ was ineffective in treating COVID, but couldn’t cite a single study to support his claim.  Fauci also rejected the list of 371 studies on HCQ and its effectiveness in treating the disease when he was presented with the list.

** Fauci had no scientific evidence to support any of his scientific conclusions in his deposition.  He simply preferred to use invective against positions he disliked.  When confronted with over 370 studies finding HCQ was effective in treating COVID, he flailed and had no meaningful response.

** Fauci admitted lying to the public.  In one of the more amazing segments during his deposition, Fauci admitted that he knowingly made false public health statements at the beginning of the pandemic, advising people against using masks in order to discourage the public from depleting the supply of masks.

** Fauci admitted he got his ideas of a lockdown from the Communist Chinese who implemented their extreme lockdowns in January 2020.

** Fauci also admitted privately to friends that the masks didn’t work (the pores of masks are too large and the virus is smaller than the pores), while simultaneously advising the public that they did work.

The deposition lasted seven hours. This did not include breaks.

They left did not fight the Fauci deposition, but they have fought tooth and nail to keep Psaki from talking. That one ought to be real fun. I am anxious to hear the results.
