So what is the result of this assumed contempt vote? That’s good, but justice requires someone to be punished, not just disciplined.

Following a contempt citation, the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia; according to the law it is the "duty" of the U.S. Attorney to refer the matter to a grand jury for action.

The criminal offense of "contempt of Congress" sets the penalty at not less than one month nor more than twelve months in jail and a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000.

I think that if he were to barricade himself in his home, after it was stormed by US Marshalls and Delta Force, and if he didn't come out, they could burn him and his family alive.
