Not sure what you point is? If by legal significance you mean legally able to compel the DOJ to do something then yeah no shit, that's how the system works. Thanks for stating the obvious.

What's significant about a committee referring something to DOJ for criminal investigation is that this usually happens where there's some likelihood that a crime was committed by one or more persons involved. So yeah, it would be a pretty big deal if that referral happened (especially considering the subject matter involved; i.e. a President trying to stop the certification of a legitimate and legal election to keep himself in power...if there is a referral to the DOJ about that it's an absolutely massive event in US history).

I'm trying to find non-contempt referrals to find out the weight of it happening if it happens.

Also lol Neil Gorsuch's mama almost got done up for contempt
