If they end this on a shrug and go "Eh, he should face some consequences. It's up to other people to decide if he does." Then there is literally no justice in the universe and nothing matters.

Well let's be clear. The committee will do exactly that. They have no power or position to do anything else.

However DOJ has gone real fuckin quiet in the last week, aside from ongoing sentencing hearings and so on for J6 misdemeanors and some light felonies.

There's a Marcos in charge of the Phillipines again. Maybe he got promptly extradited.

The DOJ is always free to charge Trump. A criminal referral is advisory only. The most valuable thing Congress can do is what they're already doing

In those cases he could make a substantive case for executive privilege, because Trump was president at the time.

I'm noting that the shift is the substantial thing. both as a personal thing and that he clearly considers it legally and/or professionally non-tenable to obstruct the committee
