In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

   I'll get clarification from our outside council on the underlying meaning of some of the verbiage in the letters to us -especially "it is imperative you provide answers under oath" and everything under "to allow a full and complete record of these documents to be produced to the Committee in response to future document requests, please:". Putting these in the letter make me believe they're already thinking about next steps.

   The letters haven't yet gone online on the committee website, but once they do, I expect a lot of press requests will follow. I just asked my institution how they want to handle those (I'll be on the road all day), but I assume we're just going to ignore them.https://republicans-oversight.house.gov/letter

   The biggest issue is that they are/were attributing that advice to Fauci and Collins Of course they are twisting this totally out of context in other ways too. I didn't state that was the "consensus on the teleconference." It wasn't ofcourse. Not even close. Only that that was among some of the advice we got and specifically NOT advice from Fauci or Collins. Advice BTW we clearly did not follow. as we: 1. wrote the paper and 2. mentioned lab origin.

   I'm gonna forward the ltr to the Dean who will bring in the Uni General Council. Will let him know there are severalinaccuracies. We definitely need to let Scripps and Tulane communicate - mixed messages will be twisted. . I'm pretty sure we'll get the chance to clarify under oath or otherwise.

   Pretty sure Eddie will get the same. But not sure we need to get all four Unis involved - at the moment - but SR and Tulane should at least communicate.

   Yes. I'll talk to council next week - on my way to Yosemite. For now, ignore - including media requests...

   Yes. I have forwarded to our senior lawyer to take a look at. But pretty sure they will say ignore it.
