Can't congress just subpoena the Muller report?

Also, when Muller testifies I'm sure they can ask him if anything was hidden or changed after he turned the report over.

I also think they need to ask him if he was pressured into not questioning the president. Why was the president not subpoenaed to testify?

And about anything else this administration did to try and obstruct justice directly regarding him and his investigation.

After the DOJ misses the deadline I think the Dems will subpoena it.

who indeed does enforce the subpoena? Congress can demand all they want, but it may end up in the courts.

The Sergeant-at-Arms can arrest and bring the subject to the chamber (House or Senate) to answer the charges.

This action should bring the pustule to a head - the pustule that is the orange pResident's pretense of being a king. Heads will fly.
