Garland has stated that he is watching the hearings closely and the DOJ made a request for materials from the committee a few weeks ago. This committee is trying really hard not to appear politically motivated and that this is about the truth and making sure it is recorded in the record. Like Jacob said earlier, the DOJ doesn't need a referral to press charges. I think it's smart to go "here's everything we found and hot damn is it bad" and then leave any legal actions to the DOJ. It won't stop the Traitors (all the politicians who support the Big Lie) from calling it a partisan witch-hunt but maybe, just maybe, the committee's professionalism and "just the facts ma'am" approach will cause some of those on the fence to take a serious look.

I know, dare to dream right?

Absolutely, dare to dream. That's why this is such an interesting question, because there are pros and cons to either view, and it's great when someone can espouse the reasoning that lands on what is probably the less "popular" view. You make very good points!

Garland is apparently "scared to death" about indicting Trump. So he may indeed pass on such a route, claiming all the various evil possibilities. I think that would be a terrible mistake. Trump floated a coup attempt, and regardless of the results he needs to be charged and tried. There would be no civil war, as we have SWAT teams and the National Guard, enough of whom are NOT Trump acolytes. Just my opinion, and I admit I hate Trump with a passion and hate his acolytes even worse.
