## Resource

Dr. Fauci’s congressional hearing turned into a legal theater as he repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, even dodging basic questions like the date — a move legal expert Alan Dershowitz defended as standard practice. Despite President Biden’s pardon covering his prior government service, Dershowitz clarified it doesn’t shield future misconduct, like lying or document destruction. While Congress could grant immunity to force testimony, Dershowitz suspects their real goal is political theater — using the hearing to question and potentially incriminate Fauci, not to get answers. The Fifth Amendment, he reminds us, exists to protect everyone — and forcing testimony would likely lead to a drawn-out, uncertain legal fight.
