When did anyone agree to pay for all this? The public through Congress no longer seems to be able to set its own priorities. They are set for us, with our funds.

As I understand it, congress acted to disallow gain of function research but Fauci went ahead and did it anyway. There is now a brazen disrespect for the will of the people and the rule of law.
If there were such an active mechanism you would think Fauci would be in jail, or at least on trial by now. Yes, there are mechanisms but they have become dysfunctional. Congress holds hearings, grills the suspected wrongdoers, demands written papers and emails, is roundly ignored, and nothing happens. It's on to the next scandal.

Is there any mechanism in place in the US to deal with "maverick" officials who flout the will/laws of Congress? Or is it back to the wild, wild West?
