It's not like there's "will you be my prose-cutey" valentine's card the committee sends to the DOJ.

This evidence is the recommendation, i.e. one fine silver platter creaking under the weight of a case all wrapped-up and pretty.

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.

It can't be overemphasized how much The Union is literally riding on this DOJ.

There is one sense in which the Jan 6 Hearings are counterproductive because without them one could conceivably walk away thinking it was just a riot. But now no one, save a small cadre of UFO conspiracy theorists making their KKK uniforms out of tinfoil, is going to walk away from this moment in American history thinking this was anything other than what it actually was. And that means everyone now gets to find out if there really is a line or if the rule of law was just a bluff all along.

The answer to that question is what will determine what happens to this country next.

The key part, and I keep saying it, is that this would be a disaster almost without predecent for Congressional power, not to mention the executive's ability to check itself (independent DOJ). We are talking about existential threats to all three of those entities, maybe not next year but eventually.

Edit: if they don't indict, I should say. Sorry, I'm verklempt
