She will either not show or not tell the truth which we can expect so when she’s caught lying, she needs to go down

If Blondie did testify, she would likely go the Ghibelline Maxwell route snd plead the 5th, since telling the truth would be so incriminating... I am not surprised that a convicted felon prez would have by his side, a corrupt, lying, subservient, cultist AG.

Is this an official subpoena? If it is, failing to show SHOULD result in a bench warrant.

Can they do anything if she doesn't show up?

Here are the specific consequences of ignoring a congressional subpoena:

Criminal Contempt of Congress: The House or Senate votes to hold an individual in contempt, then refers the case to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for prosecution. Convictions can result in fines and jail time.

Civil Contempt: Congress asks a federal court to enforce the subpoena, which can lead to a court order requiring compliance. Continued refusal after a court order can lead to further sanctions for contempt of court.

Inherent Contempt: Although rarely used in modern times, Congress has the authority to direct its Sergeant-at-Arms to arrest and detain an individual until they comply.

Legal Challenges: Individuals can challenge subpoenas on grounds such as lack of jurisdiction, improper service, or privilege claims (e.g., attorney-client or executive privilege).
