This:
is actually, I think, the answer to this:
The right by and large doesn't give excuses for Trump. They like it that he's openly flouting the law. There's a streak within the psychology of right-leaning people that we're seeing laid bare. Right-leaning people are comfortable than the left with authority and authorities in general. The more emphatically leaders project authority, the more they like it. Breaking the law in plain sight as though you are entitled to do so, authoritarianism, is, of course, on one level the opposite of the proper exercise of authority. But, on another level, it is just further along the continuum of the authority-ness with which the right is comfortable. They're not excusing it; they're relishing it.

Well ok, let's see.What? By what count? I was under the impression that only two or three people had complied with subpoenas and everyone else just ignored them...
I can't wait for the courts to weigh in on the limits of executive power.
Shall the Speaker get full access to the Executive every time a no-consequences whistle-blower passes along a juicy rumor?
Fox and Friends tried to argue that the White House didn't have to comply with Congressional subpoenas until the full House voted on an impeachment inquiry. Judge Napolitano quickly pointed out that none other than John Boehner changed the rules for subpoenas which gave every committee the ability to issue their own without a full House vote, making the GOP argument moot by their own machinations. He also pointed out that while you can challenge a subpoena, you can never just ignore it as the White House has done at their own peril.

Well, politically speaking, I can't imagine Congress arresting Mike Pompeo would play out well at all for the Dems. Procedurally, I'd also have objections.Why is sending the House Sergeant at Arms to arrest people who refuse to comply with Congressional subpoena not a realistic option?
@ other stuff fair enough. Even the inherent contempt stuff, I suppose, would work better if it were seen to be a last resort.

But just a week later, it has become clear that President Trump’s attempts to stonewall the Democrat-led inquiry that has imperiled his presidency and ensnared much of his inner circle are crumbling.
One by one, a parade of Trump administration career diplomats and senior officials has offered a cascade of revelations. Those accounts have corroborated and expanded upon key aspects of the whistle-blower complaint that spawned the impeachment inquiry into whether the president abused his power to enlist Ukraine to help him in the 2020 presidential election.
The latest disclosures came on Wednesday, when a former top aide to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo offered an inside account of what he said was a demoralized State Department, where career diplomats were sidelined and others apparently were pressed to use their posts “to advance domestic political objectives.” In six hours of voluntary testimony, the former aide, Michael McKinley, told impeachment investigators that he quit his post as Mr. Pompeo’s senior adviser amid mounting frustrations over the Trump administration’s treatment of diplomats and its failure to support them in the face of the impeachment inquiry, according to a copy of his opening remarks.
