That a reference to the Congressional criminal contempt power. A court's contempt power is enforced by the courts, not by the DOJ, so compulsion to give testimony has a different jailer. Judge gives a COURT order to testify. That is enforced by the court.

The difference is between "Congress finds contempt" and "Court finds contempt." The first one is a badge of honor.
