Trump just dismantled this so his blatant corruption and his cronies overseas can operate without consequences or detection. Organized crime is now legal and the US is open for exploitation by foreign and domestic criminals. Don’t expect Rubio to say a word.

More important, the bat viruses that the grant paid the lab to study are so genetically distant from SARS-CoV-2 that they could not have produced it, a point that independent virologists have made repeatedly. That disposes of the specific charge that research that Fauci’s agency funded produced the virus. It did not.

As it so often the case, the problem with the Trump administration is not the what but the how. They falsely accuse critics of objecting to the former, when they horror is the latter. Of course, the administration can enforce immigration laws. But it cannot do so in violation of the constitution.
