The more that comes out, it's beginning to look like Pres Trump knew all this all along, and let Fauci hang himself with his denials.
1 - Trump says 'what about HCQ for treating coronavirus?" because he knows that Fauci said it was a great treatment for coronavirus back in 2005. Of course, Fauci, says hell no, HCQ doesn't help with coronavirus. Trump doesn't say anything.
2 - Then both Trump and Pompeo say they think the virus was made in a lab. Fauci again springs to action and says it came from bats. Now we have seen the emails that he was told it came from a lab months before Trump and Pompeo made the same claim.
Notice Trump could have publicly outted Fauci as lying in either instance. Instead, Trump makes the claims, then the media runs straight to Fauci and demand that he disagree with Trump.
Which Fauci was happy to do.
I think Trump played him like a fiddle.
