Where do any of the linked pieces show that NIH funded gain of function research?
They seem to be claiming this is a 'smoking gun':
the NIH grant... funded a research project during 2018 and 2019 that tested “if spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”
So they were testing whether the naturally occurring SHC014-CoV SARS-like coronavirus (SL-COV) which infects horseshoe bats was capable of binding to a human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model. That's not gain of function research.
Testing if wild bat viruses can infect humans is scientifically responsible. It's how we detect zoonotic origins of viruses. It's kind of important to know which viruses can easily jump from wild animal to human.
That's entirely different from genetically manipulating a virus to extend its infectivity to other species - i.e. gain of function research.

Not recently, in relation to this.
Everyone suspected Fauci knew about the gain of function research but,Wow if this is really true lets see how long it takes MSM to even mention any of this even though its out on twitter and the senators have now commented on it.

Wonder what is happening in the background to make the NIH throw him under the bus?

The DOJ is investigating Fauci and could be preparing to indict him. Let's see if Fauci becomes less visible over the next 2 weeks.
When, two months from now, we see Democratic politicians distancing themselves from Fauci, we will know that his time has grown to a close. "Gee, we had NO idea of what he was funding. Terrible thing. Terrible." Plausible deniability has always been in the background of every government everywhere; it's why the people who do the dirty work are paid so well. Did you know he is now paid marginally higher than that of the President? The same link establishes his net worth as between 3 and 10 million. Gosh oh gee whillikers, that's quite a range!!
