So here is my question:

Prior to Eric J Holder's tenure as AG, has anyone, EVER simply defied a Congressional subpoena in this manner?

Secondly, if someone did so defy, we're they able to do so without repercussion?

I'd just like to know the precedents.

His actions are the precedent, as well as the congressional impotence.

Yes. It happens every time one party controls the Presidency and the other party controls Congress (or even one house of Congress). Bush appointees defied certain subpoenas from the Democratic congress, Clinton did the same when the GOP controlled the house, and so on.

ALL Courts come from Congress (Article III)
and because EXEMPT Issa and EXEMPT Cummings
are so thoroughly corrupt or brain dead,
they have enabled Holder to murder, lie,
and plunder (Election Fraud), and
destroy what was once Law in America.
