Devolution Power Hour Ep. 479: Fauci Pleads the Fifth, GOP Enablers Called Out

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with a bit that pokes fun at how fast rumors spin out of control online (spoiler: Fauci was not, in fact, killed at Gitmo), before getting into what actually happened: Anthony Fauci testifying and invoking the Fifth Amendment over and over again. The guys play clip after clip, breaking down just how many times he did it, what it legally does and doesn't protect him from, and why the optics are arguably worse than an outright confession would have been. From there it branches into a wider conversation about accountability, the Republicans who once defended him, and a detour into Zelensky and Netanyahu's shifting reputations among the same political circles. As always, there's plenty of banter mixed in with the substance, so don't expect a strictly serious hour even when the topic is this heavy.
