House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (D-CA) on Tuesday said he will do all he an to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress, just like they did with Eric Holder who basically flipped them off and went on his way. That's because Congress holding people in contempt is like a butterfly attacking worm. The worm is indifferent and could care less.
Wray refuses to share an informant file that accuses President Biden and the Biden crime family of a $5 million bribery scheme while he was vice president, in spite of GOP bluster.
“Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now: If he misses the deadline today, I’m prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him,” McCarthy said on 'Fox & Friends.' “I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document. Today is the deadline,” he added.

“We have jurisdiction over this. He can send us that document. We have the right to look at that —Republicans and Democrats alike in that committee. And if he does not follow through with the law, we will move contempt charges against Christopher Wray and the FBI. They are not above the law,” he said. McCarthy said that he will lead an effort to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if he refuses to share an informant file about President Biden, and that won't look good on his resume.
McCarthy called Wray on May 19 and said afterward he believed the FBI would comply with the Oversight Committee subpoena.
Comer, meanwhile, is scheduled for a Wednesday call with Wray now that the deadline passed.
“I see sensitive documents all the time. I told him he could redact certain parts of that — names and others, so we wouldn’t know methods,” McCarthy said, in an attempt to take away any arguments Wray might pose against releasing them.

“But we have a right to see it. He does not have the right to choose what he can and cannot show us. We oversee the FBI and if he thinks differently, he will soon see a contempt charge in Congress against the director,” he continued.
“There’s enough problems in the FBI and I will not sit back and allow him to ignore this. We will get this document. … He knows that there’s a document and we have a responsibility to see it.”

Meanwhile, if Wray refuses to release the hounds, he will receive kudos from the administration.
A contempt of Congress vote can carry criminal penalties but serves primarily to shame the officeholder and Wray already has enough reasons to be ashamed of his existence as anyone in the Biden administration.
Other tools available to enforce subpoenas include litigation, withholding of funding, or impeachment. You have a better chance of seeing Haley's Comet three times from Herald Square.
