00:00Ours is not a system of justice where foot soldiers go to jail and the masterminds and
00:06ringleaders get a free pass.

00:13the attack on the Capitol and has voted to approve the referral of four criminal charges.
00:17We understand the gravity of each and every referral we are making today, just as we understand
00:23the magnitude of the crime against democracy that we describe in our report.
00:29We have gone where the facts and the law lead us, and inescapably, they lead us here.
00:35The committee's report, which will be released on Dec. 21, lays out the evidence for four
00:38criminal referrals, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United
00:43States, conspiracy to make false statements, and inciting, assisting, comforting, or aiding
00:48an insurrection.
