Just ask Steve Bannon, federal inmate #05635-509.Steve Bannon was nit SecState. He wasn't even part of the governmentThen ask Pete Navarro or Mark Meadows.They were out of government when subpoenas were issued. Gym Jordon wasn't though.Holding a contempt vote while they are in government is kind of pointless, because the DoJ is unlikely to prosecute its own. Anyway let's put it this way: in the past ten years only one Democrat has been found in contempt of Congress.Yet that's exactly what Republicans are doing here.
