Just a note that the Select Committee was not formed to hold trials or convict wrongdoers. Yes, I hope they will make criminal referrals, but I'm pretty sure their purposes and goals should not be rigidly compared to those of a court of law.
Yeah. The
most the J6 committee can do is make referrals and recommendations.
I expect the committee to discuss the fake electors. I would be a little surprised if the committee specifically recommended legislation to attempt to prevent fake electors in the future, as that seems to be a less pressing issue when compared to, say, democracy itself.
I have every faith the committee's report will make clear that its opinion is exactly just that: an opinion from the committee. Just as I have faith the committee, when making referrals, will have better arguments than "well, seems criminal-y to me."

Rondeau and Her Three Remaining Birthers might disagree.
and if the people who did forge those certificates could be successfully prosecuted, I know he'd enjoy that a hell of a lot more than what he's doing now.
OMG, YES. The rule of law is so eroding these days, but if it isn't against the law, the solution always is to change the law.
But sometimes you have to face reality, and bob is as good at that as anyone I know. He and filly are not only excellent lawyers*, they're very grounded in reality, which is how they found their way here, after all.

I have a
long list of people who disagree. (About me, that is; filly is the tops.)

Maybe a separate thread for the fake electors is warranted, as the committee is doing many different things.
