Then will it be just forgotten about? He stole top secret information,ripped up,flushed and ate things that should have been archived.

He has to get his ass spanked over this crime against our country by someone.

Are we talking about the fake elector documents or the stolen confidential documents?

This means that DOJ is doing an investigation and the select committee should not get involved in an ongoing investigation.

This may be the first inkling that DOJ is going after Trump. Fingers crossed, or maybe not if it is out of their jurisdiction.

DOJ is the appropriate venue for this. And like you say, perhaps this portends that DOJ has quietly taken on investigations that fall within their discretion. The key word here is quietly; either they're the stealthiest sonabagobbers of all time or all is quiet on the justice front, which equates to Make Room for Autocrats.
