24. It's not as cut and dried

as the article proclaims. Doing inherent contempt could end up making Bannon into a martyr. Who arrests Bannon and where does this happen? Where is he held in jail? He still has appeal rights with inherent contempt.

No, IMO, the solution is to get our DOJ involved. Why should DOJ need a referral from Congress to do investigations? The DOJ has way more clout than a select committee, a person cannot refuse to appear before a grand jury.

I have little faith in our DOJ seeing as how they allowed Cyber Ninjas to do a fraudit in Arizona.
