The lab-leaky theory was plausible from the outset...and REMAINS plausible.
(AI will tell you as much...if you frame your question honestly.)
Why did Fauci use his office to squelch it early on?
Was it due to his knowledge of his own involvement in funding the lab?
What would be the motivation for attempting to eliminate a valid source theory when in the thick of trying to get answers to address a pandemic caused by the virus that originated in Wuhan?
Why was there no transparency about Fauci's involvement with the lab when he was doing this?
There certainly should have been...at a minimum...
(Most interesting that his pardon goes back to 2014...to cover all possible interactions with WIV.)

Without data the Lab Leak theory can't be proven erroneous...however, from the get-go, in the
history of Infectious Diseases and Virology, the evidence we do have points very strongly toward a Zoonotic origin...this is why Dr. Fauci, and the very large majority of related experts initially, and to this day, believe the pathway was that one...But again, without data, we can't establish the true origin...that's the end of the conversation until China produces the missing data.
As for GOF research...it has indeed been debated in Congress and led President Obama to institute a pause in any U.S. involvement until stronger restrictions were put in place. Subsequently, in Trump's first term he ended the pause on GOF research...you might want to ask him what new restrictions he put in place. One other thing...GOF has been used every year to help design the next version of 'Seasonal Flu' vaccine....so, inherently, it can be used effectively for the benefit of human kind.
When it comes to the need for Dr. Fauci's pardon...look no further than that 'Trump'd Up" indictments against James Comey and Lettia James. DJT is a well known vengeful man who would use our taxpayer money to harm anyone who opposes him...just like his mentor, Vladimir Putin (See 'Helsinki'...'Anchorage'...)
Good Morning, Curly...yes, I have a link for you, and everyone else...it's
the Wiki Summary of SARS-CoV-1...which has a scientifically proven "Zoonotic" link between bats in China...intermediate animal hosts...and humans. The transfer to humans occurred in the Guangdong "Wet Market". Fortunately, it was only transmissible among humans when the infected persons had clear symptoms like coughing, which allowed those persons to be quarantined while others wore masks.
It is not beyond reason for SARS-CoV-2 in humans to have had the same pathway...given the large and very active Wuhan "Wet Market"...which interestingly was emptied and scrubbed down as soon as the disease was identified. The fact that a biology lab for the purpose of studying viral pathogens exists nearby in Wuhan doesn't make it #1 on the COVID-19 'Origin Suspect List'...irrespective of Jon Stewart's very entertaining argument. That being said, we're still stuck in Nowhere Land until China releases the necessary data to prove conclusively how SARS-CoV-2 originated.
Carry on with your version of "Entertainment"...;-)
