Pence confirms coronavirus task force winding down — but they forgot to tell Fauci

Mike Pence confirms coronavirus task force winding down Vice President Mike PenceAP Photo/Alex Brandon WASHINGTON — Vice President Mike Pence has confirmed the White House coronavirus task force will begin winding down later this month.

Confirming a New York Times report published earlier in the day, Pence told reporters Tuesday that his goal was to start handing responsibility back to various government agencies by the May 25 Memorial Day weekend as the administration looks to reopen the country.

“I think we’re starting to look at the Memorial Day window, early June window as a time when we could begin to transition back to having our agencies begin to manage — begin to manage our national response in a more traditional manner,” Pence said.

The Times report said White House officials informed members of the task force that they plan to finish the operation in coming weeks and that there won’t necessarily be a group to replace their efforts.

But it appears the administration forgot to include Dr. Anthony Fauci in the discussions, with the group’s respected infectious disease expert telling CBS on Tuesday that he’d heard no such thing

it was Fauxi who funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Lab. Perhaps winding down the task Force is a way to get him out of the way.

mount him atop a missile and lob it back to the lab

Once he’s no longer working under Trump, I expect him to cut bait and hit the networks/media rounds with stories of how bad Trump was.

Let him do that. We'd love to take him on with a video montage of all the wrong predictions he made on TV going back to January. That's a fight I'd love.
Bring it on Fauci.

How soon will we learn that Fauci has his own CNN show?

“He works in the NIH for Collins, the Director. He’ll still be working for Trump.”

Unfortunately, Trump made him the very face of the fight against CV-19 - he was a little known bureaucrat before Trump made him a costar of the daily briefings.

Because of that, Fauci can write up his own ticket from here on - he is not obliged to remain employed by the government. We’ve seen this many times before - they leave the public sector, write tell-all books and get media jobs as experts or “contributers”. If the big money doesn’t interest them, they go for the adoration.

Fauci is a wanted man.
20 million jobless Americans want to find him.
He has been assigned a security detail.
And likely will have to continue his security after he retires.

It’s best not to tell him ANYTHING, and even better...

Not to let him SAY anything.

His 15 minutes were up on or about March 14, IMHO

This guy is a virus. He is on time release now. He will go on the offense both for the press and the house. Hopefully his job has clauses which require him to remain mute. When he violates them give him the solitary confinement treatment ala manifort.

He'll retire with a couple book deals.

He has to get out so his correspondence becomes all private.

second best news of the day, after Neil Ferguson’s resignation from Imperial College London.

someone beat me to it - but expect a 7-figure contract with CNN for Fauxi.

ON WITH THE RECOVERY.

That this clown hasn’t been arrested already is a travesty of justice.

should have said Ferguson is ex-govt scientific advisory committee, not ex-ICL, though he should get fired from there.
