I think Fauci is too important to give him up for the audit. They will use other methods to take out the audit, if necessary, don't need Fauci.
Further, Fauci as a scam artist, possibly linked to using the pandemic to rig the election is a double whammy if audit news breaks bad and sticks. One corroborates the other. Too risky.
Fauci stuff started breaking, IIRC, when Bidan started talking about a Wuhan lab leak investigation, that they would announce findings in 90 days, and it looked like China was going to be used as the scapegoat.
China told him to go fuck himself, and even dropped the possibility of nukes in reaction.
My guess is China knows Bidan & Fils are balls deep in the GOF research bullshit, and China has them in a vise.
Only option is to blame Fauci. Knife edge, though. Fauci discredited blows up med/science trust, stops vaccine roll out dead, and worst of all, vindicates Trump, who never trusted the motherfucker. Major defeat for team Bidan, I would say, but anything to save Joey's ass.
