    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.”

    When the panel makes referrals, Thompson said it will be a separate document from the panel’s final report that will be sent to DOJ. The committee is expected to meet later Tuesday.

    A source tells CNN the criminal referrals the January 6 committee will ultimately be making “will be focused on the main organizers and leaders of the attacks.”

    How could they not given the evidence they have obtained? I would think Trump will be on the list as well as Eastman. There may also be some referrals for perjury among members of the Secret Service. We shall see.

    Trump is most certainly on the list. The evidence presented to the public leaves no doubt of his guilt. My question is who else BESIDES Trump is on the list.
