Rand Paul he wants to reissue criminal referrals about Fauci and Fauci's involvement with the lab and funding it and all that. And I think it was related to Fauci allegedly lying under oath. But when it looked like Fauci had a pardon from the Biden auto pen process, then there was no point in having a criminal referral because he was already pardoned for everything. But now since the autopen is being questioned and some people are saying, was it even legal to do all these pardons if Biden maybe didn't even know what he was doing or it went through underlings? So that was enough of an opening for Senator Paul to reissue his criminal referral. It seems to me like I just see Moby Dick when I read about Rand Paul going after Fauci. I feel like Fauci is just this great white whale and Rand Paul will go to his grave trying to put that guy in jail. I don't know if he ever will, but he's trying.

Let's talk about the autopen situation. So if you follow the right-leaning news, as most of you do, but you don't follow other news or other podcasters, you would probably think this autopen thing is a real big scandal and it really matters and it's going to change things if we get to the bottom of it. I don't feel that that's true because I don't feel there's necessarily a crime there and I don't feel that any of his rulings will be reversed because Biden has confirmed that he individually approved everything that was signed. Now did he? No, of course not. He didn't know everything that got signed. I don't even know if he knew his name. But he's the only one who could testify that he knew or didn't know what he was doing. And I also think that the excuse that he gave some guidelines, you know, you can pardon people if they fall under these guidelines. I don't think it's a big deal if he didn't know the specifics and then his staff said, "All right, we have the guidelines. So as long as we're within the guidelines, he's pre-approved it and then he auto-penned it." Is that the biggest problem in the world? Not really. Is that illegal? Not that I know of. Apparently there's enough of a paper trail that you can determine that the aides were talking to Biden in the process of figuring out what to auto-pen. If you knew that they were talking to Biden about what to auto-pen and what not to and Biden also said, "Oh yeah, I basically approved everything." There's not much there. Right. So if you're waiting for this auto pen thing to become a much bigger legal thing or something like that, I don't think it will. And I don't think any of them will be reversed. I could be surprised, but my prediction will be none of the autopen stuff will be reversed by a court or anything else.

But I saw Mark Halperin on his podcast 2Way, which is great by the way, great podcast. He was saying that there's something missing. There's a dog not barking in the New York Times coverage of it because you probably said to yourself, well, why did it take the New York Times so long to get on that story about the autopen but then they eventually did and they did a big feature story on it. So you say to yourself, all right, a little later than I wanted, but at least the New York Times legitimately looked into it. But then Mark Halperin points out that there are some things that you definitely would have seen in the story if it had been a story about Republicans and Trump. And he says, "So what do law professors think about that? What
