Congress can declare somebody to be in contempt, but only the AG via federal marshals can enforce that ruling.

The executive cannot rule anybody in contempt.

But isn’t that contempt, or contempt of the Judiciary, included in the “high crimes and misdemeanors”?

There seems to be an inequality (set-up!) here, when one branch can visit this on another?

But now I think that only Congress can prosecute impeachment of the other 2.
Sigh, Im spent...
