Next Jan. 6 committee hearing is Monday: Panel to vote on criminal recommendations
Source: USA Today
WASHINGTON The House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, will meet Monday at 1 p.m. to vote on potential recommendations to the Justice Department to prosecute suspects for their roles.
Vote Monday: The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters the meeting would include votes on recommendations and the final report, which would be released next week, according to reports on CNN and ABC News. Besides criminal referrals, the panel could also make recommendations to state bar associations about lawyers, to the Federal Election Commission about campaign violations and to the House Ethics Committee about lawmakers, Thompson said.
What Thompson said: We will do all of the business of the committee on the 19th, Thompson said Tuesday, according to CNN and ABC News.
Committee members suggested Trump could face charges: The House has already impeached former President Donald Trump on charges he incited the insurrection, but he was acquitted in a Senate trial. Several members of the committee have suggested he could face criminal charges for inciting the violence.

it's not like they didn't try. And for us who really do defend the U.S. Constitution, we just hve to resolve that this traitorous attempt to tear down our country isn't over, and we have to keep on fighting.
