Didn't it come out in 2016 that Trump campaign did not pay that patriotic little girls band who opened his rallies.

It did but it turned out to be cause the girls' father/manager was a massive dumbass and instead of having any kind of contract or even some verbal talk of payment their agreed upon compensation was a conversation that one of Trump's campaign people was going to maybe introduce them to someone who knew someone who would get them some kind of bigger appearance or career path in dancing or something.

Sometimes I can see how it's hard not to wish for the maximum chaos option of the DoJ and the WH just flat out ignoring the subpoenas just because at least then something would actually happen. While the democratic establishment hasn't been big on doing effective things, it's possible we're at a point where they literally have to or the whole cushy existence they enjoy is gonna crumble. Even the emptiest of suits has to feel that. Maybe in one of their buttons.

Iirc they agreed to do it with the understanding that they wouldn’t be paid, but they’d be allowed to set up a merch table, and in the end they weren’t able to do that either.

After seeing that Melania tweet about her BeBest campaign and reflecting on what a half-hearted nothing it has been, I had the thought she could get people to actually pay attention to it by railing against Cancel Culture, the perpetrators of which are the real bullies terrorizing our kids.

Well the new subpoena is for Sondland's testimony AND documents. So they hadn't issued a subpoena for testimony before today, so that is actually (well, potentially) big if he decides to ignore that. But also, I think this means they're actually issuing a subpoena to SONDLAND for documents and communications, which makes sense since he was apparently doing all this on a private phone.

In theory, it matters a little bit more. We'll see if it actually will or not.

they'll definitely issue a subpoena, they've already subpoenaed other parties. the question is, when they fail to comply with the subpoena, what happens next. IIRC it's an open question whether the house actually has the power to jail somebody

it seems like a lot of people ITT don't understand the difference between a request and a subpoena

Honest question, does the dems subpoenaing people mean anything if they don't enforce it? What does that look like? Is Barr the guy in charge of dealing with people who ignore the subpoena? And if so, won't he just also ignore it?

I think the play is as someone mentioned upthread: they're going to attempt to circumvent the House entirely by getting people to "testify" in front of the senate and try to do some legal voodoo to turn it into a case of double jeopardy or some other such half-remembered obviously illegal showroom floor kinda thing and then just muck it up enough so that people get tired of it. Modern propaganda doesn't have to make any sense to destroy the concept of truth, and they seem ride-or-die on that wagon, so ... that's my guess, anyway.

Let's see how well our institutions hold up. I'm sure they'll ... oh.

Have they issued it yet? IF so, then yes, I was wrong and I accept any mockery that comes my way as a result.

Now... if the subpoena is defied, they have to have the spine to do something about it, unlike with Barr.
