OK, riddle me this -- If you are held in contempt of court, you go to jail. This we know.

Exactly what does being held in contempt of congress do to you?

Both then AG Eric Holder and IRS Director Lois Lerner were held in contempt of congress.... what then?

Lerner still has her fat 6 figure pension and Eric Holder is still FREE giving his five figure speeches.

It’s becoming a real Welstone funeral over there in the House isn’t it?

This is a power they granted themselves. I don’t think you’ll find it in the constitution.

I am greatly in favor of such resolutions. The more time they waste on useless legislation like this, the less time they have to attempt to undo the Trump Recovery.

I’ve held the House in contempt for decades.
Even when it was run by Bush League Republicans.

Think of lying to Congress as though you are lying to Bozo the Clown. Not only is there no penalty, if you don’t lie, you don’t understand the stage!

Considering that a good many of us have not only contempt, but have no regard whatsoever for the idiots composing the majority of the house (not capitalized on purpose - it’s a slime house), and the almost majority of the senate.

They are not called “congresscritters” for no reason.

This is way worse than any clown show. It’s just traitorous evil.

It should be called contempt of house. The senate hasn’t supported it.

Getting a “Contempt of Congress” from this Democrat controlled House is actually less significant than being on Double Secret Probation at Faber College!
