| 65. If a subpoena is issued |
|
the person to whom it issues has to comply or be in contempt. Contempt has sanctions that can end up in jail time if the one in receipt of a subpoena remains recalcitrant.
One who receives a subpoena can also move to quash it.
These are the procedures. It is not that Congress is "weak" or "caving" but that * is thumbing his nose at the law. Congress has to follow through, but if they are going within the rules, it's all they can do, so all the frustration with them expressed on DU is just failure to appreciate that.
