Do you realize that this means literally nothing from a legal point of view?
what do you mean ... "legal point of view" ?
it's a an action that directs the DOJ to charge Fauci for lying to congress.
am i wrong?
Yes you are wrong.
A senator cannot direct the DOJ to charge anyone with a crime. That would be a blatant breach of the principle of separation of powers.
It's fucking hilarious that you believe that this is possible. Holy shit.
OK, so what Rand Paul doing by referring Fauci to the DOJ for criminal charges?
What happens? Do you actually know, or do you just take pleasure in belittling people who are not as smart as you?
It's posturing to make him look relevant to ignorant people.
Are you actually aware of the concept of Separation of Powers?
Do you think that some random senator is able to order the DOJ to charge someone with a crime?
Seriously?
I am no legal expert.
Anyone can refer anyone to the police for charges and arrest.
The police can just walk away, not enforce the law, arrest them but have charges dropped later by D.A., etc.
