A committee can issue a subpoena that's supposed to force a witness to give information or appear to testify. If a subject still doesn't agree, then that committee, or the full chamber, can find them in contempt.
But it isn't like a finding of contempt in court, in which a judge can order someone jailed if she or he won't cooperate. Capitol Police officers probably will not kick down Barr's door and haul him off to jail. Instead, the contempt vote means the House can file a lawsuit in which it asks a judge to order Barr to comply.

They asked (or commanded him) to do something illegal. They can put this contempt vote where the sun doesn't shine as far as I am concerned.

Why shouldn’t we be able to see an unredacted copy of this report. What is illegal about that. Please clarify.

It is time for Congress, to stop wasting time and money on a venture that will, in the end, reveal little or nothing. We pay them to legislate, so get busy and do what you are paid to do.

We also pay them to oversee the executive branch to prevent abuse of power and other crimes by the President and others in the Executive branch.

SGT Cynthia Douglas Ybarra can't edit on the phone. Thank you for your grammar lesson. It actually was an inadvertent comma.

Maj Robert Thornton - I have no problem with the comma, its the message that important not a typo. True, You can't edit on the phone, I've gone back and corrected on the computer later. Its apparent to me already though from many many postings and responses You don't need English lessons ! Just keep doing what You already are doing and thanks for the great input !

Oh look, more political chest beating. I'm sure there will be in depth analysis and how this is totally bad for Trump. When in fact, nothing will not really come of this for about a year or two.
