House Dems threaten to hold AG Barr in contempt of Congress. Anyone want to tell them what happened the last time?

House Dems this morning threatened to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress over his refusal to send over an unredacted copy of the full Mueller report:

"We will make one more good faith attempt to negotiate & to get the access to the report we need and then if we don't get that,we will proceed to hold the Attorney General in contempt & we'll go from there."-House Judiciary Chair Nadler after his cmte hearing w/o Barr testifying. pic.twitter.com/TQE5QQhXS8

This has #Resistance Twitter dreaming of prison time for AG:

BREAKING: Chairman Nadler says if AG Barr doesn’t provide Congress with the information they need in the next 48 hours, they will hold Barr in contempt of Congress. Barr could wind up in prison, where he belongs. #MuellerGate

And now for the chaser. . .

Does anyone want to remind Dems what happened the last time this happened? They should remember since it was only in 2012 when then AG Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents on the Fast and Furious scandal:
