I believe that the process of Congressional subpoenas work in the following way.
Any committee has to first vote as a majority to request a witness' testimony of documents.....If the request's term is then ignored, (as in the case of Trump's tax returns) a subpoena is issued.......
If the subpoena is also ignored, then the DOJ is contacted to prosecure....AND if the DOJ refuses (Barr) then the committee brings the case into a court of jurisdiction who can hold in contempt not only the witness and whomever was to hand over the requested documents, but ALSO the head of DOJ for not following the law.......and then (in this case) the House can initiate impeachment for any cabinet member.
We have 3 branches of government and the Founders developed a system where the Executive branch can yield the sword...but not the purse.
the legislative branch yields the purse.....but has almost no "sword......while the judicial branch that has neither the sword or the purse, can......nonetheless......make life miserable for the other two branches.
Barr is in SERIOUS trouble if he decides to forgo his oath to the Constitution and sides with the person that "selected" him for the job........Hopefully, Barr chooses to save his own reputation.......and hide.
Trump demands LOYALTY from his 'servants' and Barr is certainly a Trump servant.
Don't expect Barr to do anything that will offer any indication he is not 'loyal' to his master Trump.
Oh really, remind us how many bills did Obama veto?
.
I was discussing Barr & his master Trump; NOT Obama.
