To try and catch him making a mistake responding to questions...the COVID issues have all been
covered before...and using his personal diary as some sort of "Evidence" without knowing the context of his writings is underhanded to say the least...e.g. the GOP categorizing Dr. Fauci's amazement at the Celebrity Attention he received...after working in labs and clinical settings for decades...as 'Self Promoting' misses the mark by a million miles (figure of speech for Hensou).
This was nothing more than an Ambush of a Great Medical Scientist and Clinician who is an American Hero in the field of Infectious Diseases and Virology, by a President seeking revenge on Dr. Fauci for not allowing him to "Downplay" a viral pandemic that was 10X more lethal that the Seasonal Flu...another example of Trump's Malignant Narcissism.

His diary was obtained which contradicted his testimony.
BaronVonZemo 64245 postsHe's kept it on a government computer, and he was egotistical enough to want to preserve the real story for posterity.
The purpose of the hearings is two fold:
1) Shed the light of truth on the COVID Shut Down so that such mistakes never happen again and so govt safeguards against future abuse can be developed.
2) Prevent a man who caused more death and morbidity and financial damage than any other man in US history from walking away scott free.-

What part of his diary puts him in legal trouble? I'm not keeping up with the latest false drama

He has a full pardon, so none. Unless he commits a new crime-like lie to congress today....
BaronVonZemo 64245 posts...which is why he is invoking the 5th amendment.
(Technically, he cannot even invoke the 5th amendment for any pardoned crimes because there is no longer a criminal prosecution that he can face on the charges from before the Biden autopen pardon, and thus he cannot incriminate himself on all of the lies that the diary reveals. But his legal team wants him to try to invoke it anyways because it allows him the option of not testifying for now to avoid a new crime).
As it stood as of this AM for Fauci:
If he simply admits everything in the diary as true, he loses face, but nothing more.
If the diary information is false and he contests it, he also will face no criminal charges.
But if the information in the diary is true. and he makes new lies to congress today by claiming that they are false, then he has a new crime for which he can be prosecuted.Thus, he chose to try using the 5th amendment to spare his deteriorating reputation by not admitting his heinous acts rather than lie about it and face criminal charges or tell the truth and lose his reputation while facing no legal consequences.
It is very possible however, that because he accepted the pardon, he cannot invoke the 5th amendment, and he will be found in contempt of congress. After that plays out in court, he will be back in front of the committee if the court ruling goes against him, and he won't be able to claim the 5th amendment without facing jail time. He will be compelled to tell the truth or face jail time for lies to congress.The diary alone is enough for reasonable people to know, but he has many devotees that need to hear it from him to believe. Your comment about this being a "false drama" demonstrates this.
