Thompson's claim that Jan. 6 committee won't criminally refer Trump or others to DOJ meets resistance from committee



And where did the resistance come from Adam Schiff? Nope.


The chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol told reporters Monday that the panel will not make any criminal referral of former President Donald Trump or anyone else to the Justice Department -- a claim that met swift pushback from members of the panel.

"No, you know, we're going to tell the facts. If the Department of Justice looks at it, and assume that there's something that needs further review, I'm sure they'll do it," Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson said when asked whether the committee would refer Trump or others to the department.


Pressed again on whether the committee would ever make a formal referral to the Justice Department, the Mississippi Democrat said, "No, that's not our job. Our job is to look at the facts and circumstances around January 6, what caused it and make recommendations after that."


While Thompson drew the distinct line, his statement drew quick reactions from members of the committee, revealing the panel is split over how to handle a potential referral of the former President and his associates for prosecution. The committee this month is holding a series of hearings that are designed to show Trump was at the center of a conspiracy to prevent the certification of the 2020 presidential election results and the peaceful transfer of power.


Rep. Liz Cheney, who serves as vice chair of the committee, released a statement contradicting the chairman's comments. "The January 6th Select Committee has not issued a conclusion regarding potential criminal referrals. We will announce a decision on that at an appropriate time," the Wyoming Republican tweeted.
The comment marked a rare public break between the two leaders of the committee.

I think it's a non-story. Thompson was just saying the criminal referral is beyond the Committee's mandate. Others disagree. If a criminal charge needs to be brought, it will.. From somebody.

Of course it will the DOJ doesn't need Congress to bring charges. That's what this whole farce is about... indict Trump even if it doesn't stick so that they can prevent him from ending up on the 2024 ticket.

They fear Trump because he's not part of the uniparty club.
