Most IGs are light weights and they are not there to make waves by causing problems for the heavy hitters. They usually go after lower ranking employees and it is almost never for systemic corruption problems. Occasionally they are permitted to go after higher ranking employees, but they are never going to take on the massive fraud, corruption and abuse of power in the medical industry and the government health agencies. Even the FBI will not do that. Doing that could upend the money train and no one in DC wants that because they all profit from it directly or indirectly. So, expecting Grimm to do something about major corruption involving Fauci is like waiting for the second coming and it may not happen in our lifetimes. Now, Biden may decide at some point that Fauci is a liability and needs to go. In this case you might see the IG start investigating him for something like not paying taxes on maid service or using an illegal immigrant nanny, leaving something off his financial disclosure form, pencil fraud, etc. However, it will not be something major that will upset Pfizer. Just enough to get rid of him and make him resign, but nothing to upset the corrupt system. Those are the rules of the game and Grimm knows it.
