I thought that Congress could file contempt of congress charges though but not sure what the penalty is if they refuse to provide records.

Some have called for defunding Holder’s office until he appoints a special prosecutor:

Yes, I think they can file contempt of Congress charges, but that just punishes them for not complying. Unless somebody had a search warrant for records so they could get the records themselves, I don’t think there’s any way that the government can force the records to be produced; they can only punish people for not producing them. And the POTUS can pardon whom he will.

Defunding Holder’s office or actually impeaching him would be the only ways we’re going to get ANYTHING resembling integrity out of him.

If anybody knows Americans who were in Libya on 9-11, they should put them in contact with Chaffetz. Sharyl Atkisson, pick up the courtesy phone....!
