The way I look at it- the Jan 6 committee is working for We The People, not a political party

How long before Trump starts bragging that the "witch hunt Jan 6th committee" couldn't find anything on him or they would have referred his ass to the DOJ?

What is all this "it might look political" if there is a referral to the Justice Department? We have to let coup attempts go unpunished because it might "look" political? News flash: coups tend to be political! Those attempting them are the ones guilty of making it political not the ones investigating. We The People should be allowed to investigate and seek justice, without being accused of being political.

How to keep politics out of a referral? Stress the idea that no one is above the law and leave it at that.

They cared not one whit that it looked political, which it completely was. I’m not sure that being worried about it looking political is what the hangup is this point. I don’t know what it is
