unanimously refer him for prosecution

Two of the most senior members of the House Jan. 6 committee said they believe Donald Trump committed wrongdoing in relation to the riot but said that the committee will act unanimously when it decides whether or not to refer the former president for prosecution.

Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democratic member of the committee; and Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican, discussed the investigation in separate interviews over the weekend. The panel is due to resume its public hearings on Wednesday.

Schiff said that he will make his decision align with the rest of the committee so that the committee acts unanimously, even though he believes Trump should be referred.

"We operate with a high degree of consensus and unanimity," Schiff told CNN's Jake Tapper on 'State of the Union' Sunday. "It will be certainly, I think, my recommendation, my feeling, that we should make referrals, but we will get to a decision as a committee, and we will all abide by that decision, and I will join our committee members if they feel differently.

3. Disappointing, But Not Surprising

I thought that they would certainly refer for prosecution, but now I'm not so sure.

"It will be certainly, I think, my recommendation, my feeling, that we should make referrals, but we will get to a decision as a committee, and we will all abide by that decision, and I will join our committee members if they feel differently."

4. I don't think there's any doubt how they will vote

5. while this is certainly magnanimous I cannot help but wonder...

...whether or not the magnanimity goes both ways, i.e. if all but one or two committee members want to refer, will the holdouts be equally willing to accept the major opinion in the name of unanimity?
