12. But the congressional hearings and evidence could trigger DOJ action, no?

If Marc Short (Pence’s COS) testifies that Trump, Eastman and Meadows all stated in front of him that they intended to obstruct the certification of the electoral college, despite knowing there was no fraud, and that the SS would be ordered to stand down and the insurrectionists would be allowed to hang Pence if he didn’t go along, and Short had audio recording of the conversation, wouldn’t the DOJ move to indict those crimes?

I think there might be some motivation to cut a deal at that point.
