1. Yes

A subpoena can compel anyone to appear. Feel free to ignore one at your own risk.

6. i just read the statement below,

you may compel her to appear but it doesn't mean you can force her to answer your questions. So what would the point of making a circus? I would do the same just to piss the righwing Republicans off. I don't respect Issa at all and he shouldn't be in Congress period. If I could give him the finger right on T.V. Then what would he do? This is what I think of your subpoena.

Surely, he'll give Issa the questions to ask the second time around.

3. I heard she's allowed to make a statement and then still remain silent.

"She clearly chose to make her statements and then not open herself up to even any questioning as to the. statement she made,"

4. Here's what one expert has to say about Issa's claim

11. That's a good article

So the answer to the question of the OP is really no. She invoked properly, it is not a courtroom and therefore not subject to the same rules.

5. According to Randy...

Let her come back. There is nothing to hide but confusion at the IRA...
