Quite importantly “inherent contempt” can be done by either the House or Sensate independently without the other chamber. If this passed the House Sergeant-at-Arms would *arrest* Pam Bondi and bring her before the House for a trial on the matter. She’d be in an under oath trial, and face risk of imprisonment for continued contempt, or additional perjury charges for false testimony. Most importantly unlike regular “contempt” the “inherent contempt” is not something that the DoJ is in charge of, it’s solely a Congressional power, so neither Bondi, nor Trump can interfere. It’s not been used since the 1930s and it’s unclear if enough Republicans have the spine to enforce it right now, but it is deserved - and it’d be a wild moment for the history books to have the head of the DoJ arrested by Congress!(Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth))
