5. We better not...

We had better not see a continuation of privilege here. That's troublesome. I don't really care what your standing or status or business deals are. It really does not circumvent the law. You are not above or beyond it. The rest of us aren't. The whole system relies on this being enforced and it even comes down to the power and gravity of our Constitution itself.

When I see a legal subpoena served, and the recipient refuses to comply/appear, then I would fully expect, (as a layperson) that the result would be arrest and search warrants. From there, the parties would be made to appear and could even be found to be in contempt with criminal proceedings that could lead to fines and imprisonment. Any pertinent information discovered by way of the search warrant would be made available.

This is what I would expect. Doesn't this also apply to House matters?
