Everyone needs to understand - this "criminal referral" is only a suggestion to DOJ. The Oversight Project has as much authority to open a criminal referral as we do.
DOJ has to actually take action on it for it to be anything other than a suggestion.
This DOJ will probably act on it, but the reality is - they don't have to even look at it because it didn't come from Law Enforcement, certain govt agencies, CONgress, or certain parts of the Judicial Branch.
