So you are saying Lerner is not in Contempt of Congress.
Contempt of Congress is based on a vote. It is not a legal determination made by a court.
Of course the Committee can vote to hold her in contempt. If they do and this goes to court, I imagine the court will give great weight to over 50 years of well-settled law. That's why I'm saying this path would be a waste of time and money. And another black eye for Issa.

Any instance of such a contradiction in your file of supposedly "well-settled" cases?
