What happens if he is found in contempt? Does it just get ignored and things go on as usual or does it trigger some consequence?

Apparently, under the law, he has two options:

1. Appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the citation.
2. Don’t appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the citation.

I’m guessing at this point it’s pretty obvious which option he’ll take.
