My understanding is that the Senate plays no role in this. It goes from the committee, to full house vote, to DC Federal Grand Jury for indictment and then jury trial.

Then I'm in error. I've seen no explanation in any of these threads, and figured because it was called "Contempt of Congress" that both chambers would have to vote. The fact of Grassley's involvement sustained that belief.
