WASHINGTON — The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee made criminal referrals of Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Erik Prince and Sam Clovis to federal prosecutors in 2019, passing along their suspicions that the men may have misled the committee during their testimony, an official familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The official confirmed reports in the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post, which reported on the matter last week. A criminal referral to the Justice Department means Congress believes a matter warrants investigation for potential violation of the law.

The committee detailed its concerns in a letter to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., in June 2019, the official said.

1. I'm sure this will be the lead story

On all news outlets for the next week or so, right? There will be deafening calls for Barr's resignation or impeachment, right?

2. Barr is completely evil. He knows he can't be impeached in time, and Trump will never fire him

since everything he does, he does it for Trump. So he has burned down all norms about the morality of running the DoJ.

Maybe it's more worrying that the criminal referrals weren't leaked. How come senators didn't want to get that out there, or the people in the DoJ that knew about it? We know Barr is evil. How many others are complicit with him, or too frightened to lose their jobs to take a stand?
