As you yourself just noted, the Department of Justice, which is the entity legally authorized to to do criminal investigations, is indeed also doing a criminal investigation.
So why there are 2 criminal investigations since the legislative branch can't criminally investigate private citizens? That's like the Judicial branch and Legislative branch both having hearings to declare if Roe is constitutional or not. 1 branch has legally constitutional power and the other one doesn't. That's like Congress having their own hearing declaring Roe constitutional over the judicial branch.
1 party in power is conducting 2 criminal investigations on private citizens on 2 different branches. If you don't find this very troublesome than you are part of the problem.

How do you accuse a private citizen of crimes without doing a criminal investigation? Did the people that went to testify weren't forced by the committee. Amazing.
The legislative branch is not a criminal investigating branch on private citizens. You got the constitution and division of powers upside down.
You keep saying "private citizen" -- are you talking about Donald Trump when you say that? You do know he was President of the United States during the whole period under investigation, right?

There are not 2 "criminal investigations." The Jan 6 hearings are just hearings, not a "criminal investigation." Watergate also had similar congressional hearings, but they weren't a "criminal investigation." Just because they're having hearings about potential crimes does not mean they're pretending to have indictment powers or anything like that, their purpose is just to publicly expose what went on surrounding Jan 6. If they find sufficient culpability for any crimes they can make recommendations to the DOJ, but that's all they are, recommendations.
The only actual "criminal investigation" is being pursued by the Department of Justice.
Attorney General Merrick Garland did not rule out the possibility of prosecuting former President Trump for the events of January 6, 2021.
Garland sat down with NBC Nightly News host Lester Holt for an exclusive interview, to discuss the ongoing federal investigation into the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol that day.

You forget he was impeached and ACQUITTED as President. Or are We impeaching him again over the same matter? Which is it?
Today, he is a private citizen. Anything "new" has to go to the correct branch for criminal investigation to protect due process, and rights and impartiality away from the political clout of the legislative branch that has no power to criminally investigate private citizens.
That's like NEWT opening a "hearing" after Bill Clinton's impeachment and acquittal to find out the "truth" and only putting in the committee people that only found him guilty and then use Congress to formally charge him of crimes. That would be an abuse of power. Why you still defending this says more about you.

LOL this is utterly hilarious. First you said:
