The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol has decided to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, the panel’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told reporters Tuesday.

Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said the committee has not narrowed down the universe of individuals who may be referred.

Asked whether Thompson believed any witnesses perjured themselves, he said, “that’s part of the discussion.”

The committee is expected to meet later Tuesday.

3. I hope it's more than for simply perjury or failing to appear for a subpoena.

Otherwise, it's largely a waste of time.

title-House Jan. 6 Committee to Issue Criminal Referrals, Chairman Says
The panel’s chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson, said no decision had been made on who would be the subject of the referrals.


snip-"A subcommittee of four lawyers on the committee — Representatives Liz Cheney, Republican of Wyoming; Jamie Raskin, Democrat of Maryland; Zoe Lofgren, Democrat of California; and Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California — has studied whether to issue criminal referrals to the Justice Department for former President Donald J. Trump and some of his top allies. The group made its recommendations privately on Friday.

Among the potential charges they have considered are conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress."
