CNNAs the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack stares down a fast-approaching deadline to complete its work, members are scheduled to have a key meeting on Friday to discuss its final report as well as the possibility of making criminal referrals, multiple sources tell CNN.
A subcommittee of members is also expected to provide options to the full committee about a number of pressing issues including how to present evidence of possible obstruction, possible perjury and possible witness tampering as well as potential criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, according to multiple sources familiar with the committees work.
Also under discussion in the Friday meeting will be how to handle the five Republican lawmakers who refused to cooperate with their subpoenas, which includes House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.
We will be discussing whether to make referrals, and if so on whom and for what, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, a committee member and member of the subcommittee that is expected to be providing options. We are considering any offenses for which we have uncovered relevant evidence and think there is a basis for a referral, he said, adding that could extend beyond former President Donald Trump.

Let's hope so. Put them all behind bars, along with Trump and all of his stooges.
