Rick Perry? Mick Mulvaney? Mark Esper? Mike Pompeo, Rudy Giuliani?

Do we need a fresh new batch of subpoenas, or will the original ones still work?

3. AG has nothing to do with House subpoenas.

4. I would not say nothing. The House can make a criminal contempt referral to DOJ if the subpoena

is not complied with. There was no point in doing so while a Trump minion was AG.

5. well if they defy it, it will be enforced and this lie within

the juridiction of the justice department does not it ?

6. You are 100 percent correct.

If they are in contempt of House, the Justice Department is in charge of encirclement. add Bill Barr to the list. Issue the subpoena and if he refuses have his old justice department that he tried to destroy take him into custody.

8. Only if the House has completed its own procedures.

If a witness defies a subpoena, the committee can report a resolution of contempt to the full House. On the floor of the House, the reported resolution is considered privileged and, if the resolution of contempt is passed, the House has a couple of options: it can follow the inherent contempt procedures, which are entirely within the House; the witness can be arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms for the House, brought to the floor of the chamber, held to answer charges by the presiding officer, and then subjected to punishment, including possible imprisonment, but this process hasn't been used since the 30s. Or else the presiding officer of the chamber is instructed to refer the matter to the U.S. Attorney for D.C. for consideration by a grand jury.

2. Same House until January, so no difference for now.

7. Will have to wait till Jan 20 for Justice to enforce.
