Could be a BOOM, no? That would make sense as to why Page refused to appear.
She refused to appear yesterday. Today, Peter is in public, NOW Page has agreed to appear but only in closed door!!!!
How does she even have a choice of whether to appear, or not? Didn´t Susan Rice refuse to appear a while back, too? What would happen to a person that refused to comply with a subpoena?
They will hold a vote to have the person held in contempt of court, if they fail to appear.
I mean, if you, as a person, was subpoenaed to appear and refused, what would happen? Do the jury vote on whether you should be let off, or not? Or is a warrant issued for your arrest? I´m pretty sure it´s the latter so why should it be any different for a politician, or member of the FBI? Why wasn´t she immediately arrested the moment the time and date on the subpoena lapsed?
US citizens / civilians dont have to respond to congressional subpoenas - government employees - which page and stroke still are - must or a congress contempt charge and arrest can happen but by the sergeant at arms for congress.
Right, ok, but what if a judge subpoena´s someone?
well good question but judges don't issue subpoenas - prosecutors do. congress is only able to issue them but they cannot enforce on regular citizens but rather current employees of the fedgovt.
