Jan. 6 committee chairman says panel to make criminal referrals

"Yes," Representative Bennie Thompson told reporters when asked about the topic. He did not elaborate on who might be referred, when or on what charges.

A referral does not necessarily mean that the Justice Department, which is conducting its own investigation of the riot, will decide to file charges.Police clear the U.S. Capitol Building with tear gas as supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump gather outside, in Washington, U.S. January 6, 2021.

Five people including a police officer died during or shortly after the riot and more than 140 police officers were injured. The Capitol suffered millions of dollars in damage and then-Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress and staff ran for their lives amid the chaos. A subcommittee of the panel has been studying whether to issue criminal referrals for Trump and some of his closest associates.

The panel is also expected to issue a report on its findings this month. It is expected to be dissolved before Republicans take control of the House in January after winning a majority of seats in the November midterm elections.

meanwhile the country is fading fast, no thanks to these schmucks.

👎🏽

The PEOPLE are so WRONG to ALLOW this Circus to go on. THIS is NOT a Party issue THIS is a PEOPLE issue!!

Rep. Jim Jordon will soon take over.

when there are thousands of hours of footage that day, why do we keep seeing the same 15 minutes over and over?

They stated 2 days prior that it wasn't their job to make referrals. I smell desperation.
