Congressional Hearing on Pandemic Profiteering

Let's just get one thing straight.

You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment

because you've been pardoned as you very well Know

as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more Brown versus Walker

1896 when he has been pardoned he may not stand upon his privilege

You know that your lawyers sitting behind you

now shifting nervously in their chairs. They know it.

This isn't about the Constitution This isn't about the law.

This is about contempt contempt for this body and contempt for the American people

But I think I know why you're doing it

it's because you don't want to answer questions It's because you did all kinds of terrible things.

It's because during the pandemic you got rich Didn't you you got

rich? While people were dying hundreds of thousands of Americans over a million in the end

and you were getting rich and not only were you?

Doing that you were using federal employees With taxpayer money

to apply for and solicit cash prizes for you personally

cash prizes Totaling over a million dollars.

You did all of that during the pandemic didn't you?

That's a question on the advice of counsel I respectfully declined to answer

based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

You remember Greg Fulker's

Who was that?

On the advice of counsel I respectfully declined to answer based

upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution

Your chief of staff is the answer to your mission. Remember Patricia Conrad.

Who was that?

on the advice of counsel I respectfully declined to answer based

upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution Uh-huh.

She was your personal assistant.

And what were these individuals doing in the depth of the pandemic in November of 2020?

When millions of Americans were suffering from COVID what were they doing?

I tell you what they're doing

Fulker's was on your behalf

Soliciting and gathering information for a cash award.

Let's look at it. We've got his email
