The referrals go to DOJ, who can either open a new case, add them to existing cases (or reject them), with a view to bringing an eventual indictment and prosecution if, in their view, the evidence is likely to lead to a guilty verdict.

The insurrection case is separately interesting: it is a plausible 14A Section 3 hook for barring DJT from office directly; the exact requirements for invoking it aren't clear, and will prob be litigated based on this referral whether or not an indictment occurs

Monty Python could not write something as absurd as this. The current congress is referring THE INCOMING MAJORITY LEADER, to the ethics committee.
Totally surreal.

Read the summary of the Jan. 6 committee report

By Aaron Blake

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has issued the first part of its final report — the culmination of the committee’s investigation over more than a year and half, including more than 1,000 interviews.

The full report, consisting of eight chapters, will be released later this week. The committee also plans to share video summaries of the evidence they’ve gathered.

This first section provides an overview of the committee’s findings about Donald Trump and his allies’ multipronged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. It also outlines the committee’s reasons for making criminal referrals to the Justice Department for Trump and others.

And nothing will come of it.

We'll see what sort of retribution the new Republican lead House of Representatives deals out in the new year.
