I think that Congress only has the authority to *refer* matters to...wait for it....the Attorney General of the United States.

I’m not an expert on this. As I understand it the Contempt of Congress charge is a referral of sorts. It would be picked up by the Justice Department for action.

In an instance where the administration’s minions are the target of a referral, that’s not going to happen.

I’m not sure what the fall back position is, but it is unseemly to have these things take place as if a mere political exercise. If criminality exists, it should be addressed by both parties regardless of the perps credentials.

Let the chips fall where they will.

Since Clinton, we’ve essentially had periods of rogue government run amok.
