Now that the court's involved and has issued a direct order to McGahn, if he defies it, he's in contempt of Court, not just contempt of Congress. That's a whole different ball of wax. The Court has enforcement tools Congress doesn't have.

The Court can order him fined or jailed. He'd also be in danger of losing his law license.
