    What exactly does it mean to "Held in Contempt of Congress". I know if you hare held in "Contempt of Court" you can be put in jail. What are the ramifications, other than Congress saying they did this?

    Imprisonment.

    If I recall correctly the last person convicted of this got sent to prison for almost a full 2 weeks!

    I believe it was in the 1930's, the mans name was MacCracken and it was his punishment for destroying documents congress had subpoenaed.

    Watch Obama pardon any one of his chronies who winds up convicted of criminal malfeasance.

    While I'm glad that these traitors may be held accountable, I doubt they will ever receive the justice they deserve.

    Would it be too much to hope for what the real charges should be?

    High Treason, illegal trafficing in arms, and accessory to murder?

    I would love to see the fifth column cretins behind this conpiracy swing in the breeze. All of them.

    Angry

    It really doesn't matter. Even if Holder is impeached, tarred and feathered, some other authoritarian prick will be along to replace him.

    We really need a President who's willing to put a true Constitutionalist in position of Attorney General. Someone who won't vigorously prosecute the war on drugs and guns, and stop Federal overreach.

    Sadly, I don't see anyone in either the Republican or Democratic Party offering anything substantially better. Except maybe Ron Paul.

    After I posted my question I did some looking and it turns out that the President cannot pardon someone who has been found in Contempt of Congress. I am not good with how the law splits hairs, but Contempt of Congress is not a violation of a law, per se, so there is nothing to be pardoned from. You can go to jail for up to a year and you can be fined a small amount of money, but there is not pardoning. And get this, it only takes one chamber for a contempt charge to be levied and acted on, not both. This means that if Attny General Holder is brought up on contempt charges by the House, the Senate cannot then find him not guilty or not take action, it is totally maintained in the House. The same would hold true if he were stonewalling a Senate panel or subcommittee.

    The last couple of times this was threatened was during President Clinton's time in office, related, it looks like, to Whitewater. The day before the contempt hearings were supposed to start the papers were found, if I remember right, in the official residence by Secretary Clinton. Once the documents were turned over the proceedings were stopped.

    I'm not so sure. Don't believe Barry cares about any of his people....only himself.

    Actually, doesn't he belong under a rock with all the other slimy things you find there?
