Just wondering, exactly what usually or can happens when one is held in contempt of Congress? Can the Speaker have him locked up?
Integrity and reputation are relative to holder. If that’s all it’ll cost him, no big deal. hell he’ll be on some dems fat payroll ASAP.
What I've read briefly is the person in contempt can be imprisoned up to 1 year and a fine of up to $100,000 can be levied. There's been no penalty levied for contempt of congress since 1934 when Commerce Secretary William McCracken was send to "prison" ... at a hotel.
