RE: FINALLY some Action!!!!

It’s not as if something similar hasn’t been done before to the IRS.

SIGH.... Nobody has ever answered this for me...

What Punishment does a person get for being cited in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS?

When someone is declared in contempt of court, that person gets jailed.

When Lois Lerner and Eric Holder were held in contempt of congress, what did they get?

In the case of the former, a cozy retirement and a fat pension.

So, what’s there to fear?

I believe it was around 1934 the last time they put someone in jail for contempt. They can put him in jail, but dont hold your breath.

This is beyond a joke, and nothing will happen here either.

Not a damned thing. The Sgt. at Arms was instructed to “Wack their pee pees. In due time.” so the Sgt. ignored the order and the perps were considered duly chastened.
Lerner is now comfortably retired. Koskinen hasn’t suffered a single penalty. Holder is doing well in his new job.

As soon as that session of Congress that issued the citation is over, the contempt citation evaporates.

So it’s like the GOP-e bemoaning the system: “It stinks!”
(Both Boner and Ryno on same day—today.)
But, but they ARE the system!
It’s just a sign of the contempt Uniparty has for us: a lot of sound and fury, then nothing.

Same with their investigators. If Issa and Gowdy produced the same results for their superiors in the private sphere that they have tendered to us, they’d be doing something else or a living.
Or at least doing it somewhere else.
