(17,757 posts)I don't think that it matters whether the committee makes a referral or not. DOJ will do what DOJ will do. The benefit of the committee hearings is that DOJ can not hide, or hide from the facts in the case. The responsibility will be squarely on their shoulders. The only positive thing for us is that we will find out, by the end of this year, for certain, which path our nation will be taking going forward.
We are living though one of the defining times of history and it is unclear at this point if we will choose to continue as a Democratic Republic or give in to some sort of autocracy. The scary thing is that the decision rest in the hands of Republicans. Democrats alone, even strongly united, can't save us, but a small Republican majority can destroy us. Midterm predictions are terrifying.
Many nations, throughout history, have made the decision that the economy mattered more than freedom or justice. That is what brought the Nazis to power. The results of the decision nearly always results in losing both freedom and prosperity. Perhaps that is where we are heading. We may well become a nation where the Proud Boys are the good guys.
