1. The roll of the Congressional Committee
Thu Dec 1, 2022, 01:25 AM
Dec 2022

The committee was not set up to prosecute those responsible for and those who acted on 1/6. It is an investigative committee. If they were regularly shipping info off to those who were supposed to be investigating the crime, they would have been acting outside what the Congress charged itself to do. Below is a link to the resolution that established the 1/6 committee. Once they publish, they can and should share all that they have found with the public. None of this precluded Justice from doing its job of investigating and charging those who participated. I hope all who were involved end up in jail, and hopefully some of what the Committee found will help to put them there but, criminal prosecutions was not the job of the 1/6 committee.
