In 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives found Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. With that bit of history in mind, Iowahawk spelled out the situation after a House committee voted to refer the Lois Lerner case to the Justice Department for possible criminal charges:
Congress votes Lerner in contempt of Congress, refers prosecution to Attorney General who Congress voted in contempt of Congress

Be careful now. Remember, “you don’t want to go there, buddy.”
Just to reiterate:
@iowahawkblog @BadtotheBohn so wait..they're puttting someone who is already in contempt in charge of prosecuting someone who's in contempt?
