The J6 folks might not refer them for prosecution, but that doesn't mean Jack can't build a case against them with texts, emails and plenty of rats including Mark Meadows. These guy heads would be worth time off for those Trump minions facing indictment over J6 and other things. Jack doesn't need Trump's ass over J6, he already has it for the documents case and he will tell the rats looking for a deal that too. He will get Trump's ass for J6 anyway, but he might get republican congress people too, perhaps enough to upset the house majority, depending on how wide he casts his net and what turns up. This is gonna go on for a long time and could also be taken up by the senate as well as the courts.

We've been focused on the question of whether the January 6 House select committee investigating the insurrection will refer former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for prosecution. But we have focused less on another critically important question: will the committee refer for prosecution its fellow members of Congress - Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, Andy Biggs and Mo Brooks - for the crimes they committed when they defied congressional subpoenas. Those crimes include contempt of Congress, obstructing a congressional investigation/official proceeding, and perhaps others.
Members of the committee have ruminated about whether, instead of referring their fellow lawmakers to the DOJ for prosecution, they should simply refer them to a congressional ethics committee for investigation.
This video argues that allowing Congress to police itself - by referring the five representatives who defied subpoenas in their efforts to conceal the evidence of Trump's crimes - will undermine public confidence in any investigating. It's beyond rational dispute that organizations generally do a poor job of policing misconduct it their own ranks. Just think of how the US Supreme Court has failed to adequately address the misconduct of Justices Thomas and Alito.
Members of Congress who defy subpoenas and violate the law should be referred the DOJ and must be criminally investigated and held accountable in a court of law.
