OK, she was jailed for contempt.

Now here’s a question ( which nobody seems to have answered as I have asked this time and again ).

What’s the punishment if you are officially held in CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS?

Both Los Lerner and Eric Holder were,so why are they not in jail?

Who enforces the punishment?

“Who enforces the punishment?”

The leftists’ god and all his worshippers.

If convicted it's not less than one month and not more than 12 months in jail, plus a fine of up to $1000.

Congress has to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for D.C. They are then obligated to take it to a grand jury.

The federal Democrats and their RINO allies move like molasses on some things: the IRS (on another scandal, questioned whether they released taxpayer records to the White House, the IRS replied that releasing that info. was impossible due to taxpayer confidentiality ... hmmmm); Holder (they ignored that long enough so that it’s a dead issue: “Too much time has passed,” say the guys who took too much time); the NSA, EPA, and on and on. Still dragging on. Hotshot T. Gowdy was appointed by Bonehead in May of 2014, apparently to do nothing.

But hold on! On other issues, like this one, the gooberment can move with the speed of lightning and with the power of Thor’s hammer.
The federal war on America continues, here with the ACLU calling the shots.
