It is not necessary to have the Sgt. at Arms go confront the FBI agents. Getting all het up about how, by god, we're gonna go and be forceful and tough and angry faced is the movie part of the scenario. Your statement admits this. barr isn't going to go anywhere (or even be seen by the Sgt.). It was always going to the courts. That is what trump wants -- a three year court battle and his rigged republican judges.
I stand by my post. If it makes people feel good to talk tough and suggest futile and pointless action, then let them feel good. It is another way of admitting a lost cause and going home.

If Irving could actually do anything he wouldn't be called the SERGEANT At Arms.

Legal experts have gone over it a number of times. I'd suggest to watch and listen.
