Dope1: Let's test you. When is Eric Holder's contempt of Congress arraignment?

When Eric Holder was held in contempt, it led to a seven-year legal battle over privilege, a legal battle that ended when the House and the Justice Department reached a settlement. So tell us, why would he be arraigned?

Lerner pissed off House republicans by making an opening statement before exerting her Fifth Amendment rights, so they held her in contempt because they were pissed.

Dope1: Again, you're making my point. democrats are never arrested or tried, much less convicted, for any crimes committed while in office. Republicans are, as this thread makes clear.

Now let's test you. The House voted to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt for defying congressional subpoenas in 2019. I don't recall either being prosecuted, do you?

Nobody's making your point because you don't really have a point.
