,1,"The president took an action because of how politically infected these cases were." The words of White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as she answered questions about President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter.
And reaction has been swift from both sides of the aisle.
House Oversight Chair James Comer said in a statement QUOTE Joe Biden has lied from the start". Incoming Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley said in part QUOTE I'm shocked.
Meanwhile, House Oversight Democrat Greg Stanton saying QUOTE I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong.
Congress is back this week following their Thanksgiving break. The Senate gaveled in today at 3pm. They'll work on more of the President's judicial nominations. The House is back tomorrow. On their agenda—a possible vote on whether to release the Ethics Committee's report of former Florida Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz. And of course, we are just 18 days away from the next government funding deadline when Congress must pass a new federal spending bill to avert a shutdown.
The Supreme Court heard a case today on whether the Food and Drug Administration unlawfully blocked the sale of some vaping products. The agency has denied more than a million applications of candy or fruit flavored products as part of wider crackdown saying they appeal too much to kids. But vaping companies say the FDA unfairly disregarded arguments that those flavors can help adults quit smoking without increased risk to kids.

,1,In 1943, in the middle of World War II, the Allied leaders FDR, Winston Churchill, and Josef Stalin were planning to meet secretly in Tehran. The Nazis wanted to kill them.
In his book "Night of the Assassins," author Howard Blum tells the story of "Operation Long Jump," the code name for the Nazi plan to assassinate the Allied leaders. In telling this story, author Blum says: "I wanted to write a suspenseful character-driven story of men, heroes, and villains caught up in a tense, desperate time, who needed to find courage and cunning to do their duty for their countries and to fulfill their own sense of honor."

Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology
Wuhan researchers were importing bat coronaviruses,
had applied for grants to increase their infectiousness
(gain-of-function research)
False impression given in journals
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30418-9/fulltext
We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.
Bob Seely MP
It’s pathetic
You have this unholy and unethical alliance of scientists working together through highly influential publications effectively to kibosh what may be a scientific truth,
and get it pushed into the realms of conspiracy theory.
We need to be asking tough questions about the origins,
otherwise who knows what virus will be released next,
through incompetence and ambition and how many more millions it will be killing.
This is not some political game. We’ve got to find out where this thing came from.
If you had a virus that suddenly emerged a few hundred yards from Porton Down, this country would never be able to get away with it.
(Or a few miles from Camp Detrick, Maryland)
Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology
The conflict arises from the fact the researchers perform, and want to continue to perform, precisely the sorts of experiment that make a lab leak much more likely.
These include gain-of-function experiments, where they investigate whether they can enable, by genetic modification, an animal virus to infect human cells.
It is argued that this could help us identify potentially dangerous organisms in the wild and so prevent a pandemic. This seems unlikely.
What is more likely is that these organisms will infect those doing the experiments, who could unwittingly spread the virus to the community, and possibly the whole world
little justification for doing such experiments, except scientific curiosity and the desire for prestige
US position, Wuhan Institute of Virology
Case will be proved soon
Senate unanimously passed bill last week

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-dems-gop-vote-unanimously-declassify-covid-origins-intel-send-bill-biden
House of Representatives
Republicans and Democrats voted, 419 – 0
Require Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines) to declassify all intelligence
That includes,
activities performed by the Wuhan Institute of Virology with or on behalf of the People’s Liberation Army
coronavirus research or other related activities performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology prior to the outbreak of Covid-19
WIV workers who got sick
90 days could be allowed after passing a bill
Department of Energy and the FBI
House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner
The American public deserves answers to every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including how this virus was created and specifically,
whether it was a natural occurrence of was the result of a lab-related event
Dr Robert Redfield
former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
I still believe today that the data indicates that the outbreak of Covid 19 was more likely the result of a lab leak than as a result of a natural spillover event
Representative Greg Murphy
Believes Dr. Anthony Fauci, knew it came from the Wuhan lab and tried to cover it up.
In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild,
Yet three weeks later, to save his own skin, he commissioned a scientific paper which ‘debunked’ the lab theory.
He was academically and intellectually dishonest.
The truth is that Dr. Fauci and his institution funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to promote dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology without proper guardrails
Rep. Jim Himes
There’s not one iota of evidence for any of that
(Still wants evidence released)
At every juncture, the People's Republic of China government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease
China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health
Mr Hancock
Asked to remove passages from Pandemic Diaries
Questioned the official Chinese version
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/09/wuhan-lab-leak-theory-back-frame-no-10-vows-not-discount/
Simon Case, Cabinet Secretary
Concerns, they would cause problems
could damage national security
Cabinet Office
Entirely coincidental that Covid-19 was discovered close to a Chinese government laboratory.
