I’m afraid you are right.
A strongly worded letter is about all they have the courage to muster up.
Issa said (on Greta VonSustren’s show yesterday) that this was anticipated for the Criminal Contempt citation. That is why a similar Civil Contempt citation was voted on right after the Criminal one was.
Now this goes to the DC Courts, where Holder and the DOJ do not have authority.
And the House always has the option to arrest Holder directly, but this hasn’t been done in 80 years, there is no longer a Congressional jail and a stand-off between the House Sgt-at-arms and the FBI wouldn’t be pretty.
