(25,902 posts)She refused to testify because she knew it was a trap.
She was asked to lie, and she refused to do so. That is NOT the same as ignoring a subpoena. Basically, she was railroaded.
She is NOT the example to be used for the current people ignoring subpoenas.
Read her book The Woman Who Wouldn't Talk. I had the privilege of seeing her, and hearing her talk about her book not long after it came out.
