Is This Important? This Seems Like It Might Be Important: 'I Did Delete All Of Peter's Emails Relating To Origin' (Covid-19)
In many cultures violating the duty of loyalty owed by an agent to his principal, in this case the American taxpayer, is a death penalty offense. Just sayin'.

'I Did Delete All Of Peter's Emails Relating To Origin': COVID Cabal Conspired To Destroy Evidence To Evade FOIA Requests
A new trove of emails
released by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic
reveal that top researchers involved in manipulating bat coronaviruses
to better-infect humans then conspired to delete email evidence of their communications surrounding the Covid-19 outbreak.
The communications focus on top NIH adviser Dr. David Morens, who solicited help from the NIH's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office to dodge records requests. Morens is currently on administrative leave.
"Evidence in possession of the Select Subcommittee suggests that Dr.
Morens, while employed by NIAID and NIH acted as an agent on behalf of a
federal grantee, EcoHealth," the Subcommittee notes. "Morens began assisting Dr. Daszak in how to respond to NIH compliance efforts," the release continues - referring to EcoHealth Alliance boss Peter Daszak, whose organization was suspended this month from receiving federal funds for three years.
"i learned from our foia lady herehow to make emails disappear after I am foia’d but before the search starts," Morens wrote in a Feb. 24, 2021 email to an unknown recipient, adding "Plus i deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to gmail."
In another email, Morens claims that "With the help of our IT folks, I went over the whole computer and phone situation... Basically, my gmail is safe from FOIA."
"Please pass this on to Peter and I ask you both that NOTHING gets sent to me except to my gmail."
Morens also emailed Daszak, advising him: "We are all smart enough to know never to have smoking guns, and if we did we wouldn't put them in emails and if we found them we'd delete them."
And
in another email to Peter Hotez, Morens writes: "The email somehow fell
into the hands of the Congressman, probably via FOIA of someone who
didn't delete it, as I did (delete all of Peter's emails and others relating to origin) when the shit started hitting the fan."
Meanwhile, Morens joked about getting a kickback from EcoHealth, to which Daszak repliedjokingly: "of course there's a kickback. It starts with 5 more years of FoIA requests ... I just hope it doesn't culminate in 5 years in Federal jail, or even Chinese 're-education camp'...
According
to Diane Cutler, an ex-investigator for the US Department of Health and
Human Services Office of Inspector General, "He has violated the
ethical standards of conduct for executive branch employees and has
potentially violated criminal law," she said, referring to Morens, the NY Post reports....
This is beyond an ethical lapse, this is a conspiracy to defraud the paymasters and deceive the oversight peeps.
