“On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.” 
Dr. 
Anthony Fauci delivered that answer over and over again as lawmakers on the Senate Homeland Security Committee grilled him during a hearing Wednesday. 
The absence of meaningful dialogue wasn’t limited to Fauci’s nonresponses.
