“Well Dumb-Dumb, issue a subpoena and if not responded to have them arrested.”

What happens when Holder orders the FBI not to carry out arrest warrants and the agents comply?

Congress has no armed muscle to physically confront the executive branch. Congress is a toothless tiger. Only the states have the manpower and the arms to take on an out-of-control executive. I do wish conservatives would understand that and stop moaning about the ineffectual congress. Conservatives need to get off their fat butts, stop worshipping Mammon and take back their town, city and county councils.

Congress does not rely upon any other Branch to enforce punishment of those who obstruct it’s business.

DOJ and FBI are agencies of the Executive Branch.

Ignoring a Congressional subpoena is Contempt of Congress and subjects the person to arrest by the Sargent at Arms.

Holder has been found in Contempt by the House, the House could direct its Sargent at Arms to arrest Holder wherever he is found.
