As I understand it, the US Congress works differently that the lower courts - Congress does not have the authority to issue arrest warrants (except to current members of the executive). This looks to be the process:

1) Bannon refused to answer the subpoena.

2) A committee held a hearing on whether to refer this to the full House as a criminal matter. They voted ‘yes’.

3) The House debated whether to pursue it and voted ‘yes’.

4) It was then referred to the attorney general who has to decide if it is serious enough to convene a Grand Jury. Don’t know if this has been decided.

5) The GJ will hear testimony and review evidence from both sides. If they decide it is merited, the presiding judge will issue an arrest warrant.

This is correct, although I am not certain a GJ is required.  It is most certainly in DOJ's hands at this point.  The wheels of justice grind slowly.

And we all know the kind of grist we'd like to see produced.
