Was the Dept of Justice waiting on the Congress to finish their Commission Report?

Before they pressed further with any charges relating to the January 6th insurrection?

If not, will they now feel obligated to charge anyone complicit with the attack?

Or will they now wait for the Select Committee to finish its work?

Will they continue their hunt for the criminals that breached and attacked our Capitol?

What purpose would it serve to charge Trump or any of his cronies at this time? Would it make the situation better or worse?

Or they decided to do it on their own?

In fact just the opposite. Commissions and Congressional investigations mess up government legal cases. When a commission gives immunity to people for their testimony then they can't be prosecuted by the DOJ and often their testimony can't be used in court.
