@z_everson sadly, in this corrupt administration, this won’t go anywhere.

@z_everson Sadly this will probably go nowhere since it's Dems making the request to a GQP/MAGA DOJ.

The announcement headline is purposely misleading / clickbaity as it suggests that the committee chairs (both of whom are GQP members) also are making the referral, which they're not.
