A bit of unsolicited advice to New York AG Letitia James and any other authority whose subpoena
is defied by "Very Important People"-----
----DROP A HOUSE ON THEM!
Seriously, I know the House subpoenas are in a different category, but if an "ordinary person", Joe Schmo, ignores a COURT subpoena, there are usually instant results. As soon as the noncompliance is communicated to the court, at least a RULE TO SHOW CAUSE is issued ORDERING the subpoenaed person to appear before the court to show cause why they should not be held in contempt of court for disobeying the subpoena. ("Subpoena" is derived from Latin meaning "under penalty" )
If the subpoena is not quashed as invalid pursuant to a motion filed by the person subpoenaed and if they are found to be in contempt, the court has several options---including jail---to compel compliance. The harshest methods are usually reserved for those who openly defy the court's authority. So, in plain language even Don Jr. can understand, a Joe Schmo would have their derriere in a sling in short order after they defied a subpoena issued under court authority.
And, THAT is exactly where the high-rent tushes of Ivanka and Junior should be placed---ASAP!
To do anything less will encourage other wannabe scum to disrespect any governmental authority. If Ivanka, Don Jr AND Don Sr ---private citizens all---can flip off a sitting judge or a Congressional committee WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE, why can't anyone do the same?
I am not suggesting that they be persecuted. I am DEMANDING that they be treated like I would be in a similar situation.
