"In 1857, Congress enacted a law which made "contempt of Congress" a criminal offense against the United States. The last time Congress arrested and detained a witness was in 1935. Since then, it has instead referred cases to the United States Department of Justice."

Huh, your point? Sessions can order the release of documents to Congress. In a way he has everything to do with this.
