34. A few problems with your scenario

First, inherent contempt is not something that's done on the spot. There's a process for it and it takes to even get to the point where Congress could order someone arrested. Not only that, if they tried, there would be a court battle over it with the witness very likely to get an injunction preventing their arrest unless Congress first jumps through some complex and extended due process hoops. In addition, a Lewandowski hasn't committed contempt. He answered the subpoena, he showed up he answered every question except those over which the White House has invoked executive. Of course, we all know the executive privilege claim is bogus, but Lewandowski is not in a position to wave itvon behalf of the that has to be handled.

The notion of Congress hauling in recalcitrant witnesses under it's inherent and tempting sounds good, but in practice it's not feasible
