Did Fauci Interfere in 2020 Race?

The federal Office of Special Counsel has concluded that it was a “close call” whether Anthony Fauci violated the federal Hatch Act which bars a federal employee from “us[ing] his official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with or affecting the result of an election.”

The conclusion was that with all the circumstances considered, Fauci came down on the safe side of the law after he appeared to slam President Trump and praise Joe Biden in an interview about COVID just before the election. . .

The federal office said, “OSC generally advises employees that it is best not to discuss candidates for partisan political office when speaking in their official capacity.”

But a statement from Erica Hamrick, a deputy chief of the Hatch Act Unit, added that public testimony, “must still show that the employee engaged in political activity to establish a Hatch Act violation.”

“Here, while a close call, Dr. Fauci’s comments, without more, do not appear to be directed at the electoral success or failure of either candidate. The timing of the interview coincided with the upcoming winter season and Dr. Fauci’s assessment of the virus’s impact leading into that season,” Hamrick found.
