    Default How does Jorden subpoena anyone?

    Given that he was issued a subpoena, ignored it, and suffered no consequence, how does he expect to enforce any subpoenas he sends to congress folks?

    Do as I say, not as I do. Another modern day Republican mantra.

    If you are Jordan, you perceive yourself to have 'large brass ones' - even if it is, perhaps, a figment of your imagination .

    "I decline to honor this subpoena for the same reason congressman Jordan declined to honor his." Seems a pretty solid argument to me.

    In a nutshell, when you are an arrogant, egotistical, hypocritical barsteward, you do as you please - people and consequences be damned.

    Same way the democrats did for countless investigations, some will honor them, some won't, no different either side of the aisle. For stealing elections? laughable.
