Today a poster from r/conspiracy was asked by Rand Paul to testify before the Senate on allegations of a "deep state" cover-up regarding the origins of COVID-19. Specifically he accused Fauci of orchestrating the CIA coverup. Who could have known that Fauci was this powerful?

He is supposedly a CIA whistleblower but from his Reddit history... Well let's just say I'm embarrassed for Rand Paul. This is nuts.

In a statement, Liz Lyons, CIA Director of Public Affairs, responded by saying:

> “The Committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an Agency officer for testimony today without notifying CIA, despite having already obtained closed-door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul.

> This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.”
