They don't seem particularly worried. Contempt of Congress isn't sending anyone to jail lol.
I don't think this is forcing anyone's hand. They still aren't entitled to information from a current investigation nor are they entitled to classified information. No matter how hard they stamp their feet.
2 U.S. Code § 192 - Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers
Every person who having been summoned as a witness by the authority of either House of Congress to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before either House, or any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or any committee of either House of Congress, willfully makes default, or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months.

Doesn't the House-passed resolution require requested documents to be produced to Congress by the end of the day July 7, 2018?
If not produced, it would be best for Trump to fire Rosenstein. Avoid the long impeachment process.

So Issa (Republican) asked Rosenstein if he was not above the law that if congress holds you in contempt the Grand Jury shall be convened - Rosenstein came back with a response saying they are not in contempt, and making that threat is a crime? Did I understand that statement correctly?
It seems that we just saw threats go back and forth - one a threat of contempt, and the other a passive threat that saying something like that is a crime?

No matter how much bull# you link.
Looking into looking into isn't an investigation. Entertaining requests to look into something isn't an investigation.
