Arrests for contempt of congress are exceedingly rare. Only about 3 times since 1795.

Well if these are not rare times, would hate to see what rare times are.

I believe the first 2 were for bribery (meaning it will never happen for bribery again because congressmen just call them lobbyists now).

The 3rd was more complicated and took the supreme court to rule that congress had the authority to take such an action.
