It's no shock the House Jan. 6 committee Monday referred former President Donald Trump to the Justice Department for criminal investigation of his efforts to impinge the peaceful transfer of power after his 2020 defeat.
Given the highly partisan nature of this enterprise, it would have been remarkable had the Democratic-dominated committee reached any other conclusion.
Still, despite the political opportunism of much of the committee's work, what it brought to light about Trump's activities should nauseate all Americans, no matter their political leanings.
