1. Yep.

2. Will they simply let people ignore subpoenas like they did in the past?

I thought subpoenas were now voluntary.

Unless they haul their ass to jail these subpoenas have no merit.

3. We have a new DOJ and control of the senate and Presidency now.

4. Yeah, but I still have my doubts that they would haul trump to jail for ignoring a subpoena

Maybe they would.

But I have my doubts.

I think Congressional subpoenas are now worthless.

I would love to be proven wrong.

5. Why bother asking questions to serial pathological liars? n/t

Problematic that, too, goes "without consequences" for the worshipped ones.
