Not one of the fake subpoenas issued by the House Committees had any legal force.
The full House never took the required vote to authorize the impeachment investigation. Every single time Schiff or Nadler whines about subpoenas they want the Senate to authorize, remember that.
When House Democrats sent one of these fake subpoenas to Charles Kupperman, he took it before a federal judge so the judge could rule on this exact issue. Was this a real subpoena with legal force and did Kupperman have to comply with it? THE DEMOCRATS IMMEDIATELY RUSHED TO THE COURTROOM TO WITHDRAW THE FAKE SUBPOENA **BEFORE THE JUDGE COULD RULE ON IT**
So if you watch THREE FULL DAYS of the Democratic House managers whining incessantly about the mean old Senate not sending REAL subpoenas to people the House COULD HAVE issued their fake subpoenas to during the investigation phase, BUT DIDN'T?
Doing a real impeachment investigation with real subpoenas that real teeth would have required a full House vote. But that's not what happened.
Instead, House speaker Nancy Pelosi began an "impeachment inquiry" **without** the full House having voted.
So NONE of those subpoenas had any legal force. Democrats managed to SUCCESSFULLY hide his fact from their base.
It didn't make much of a ripple in the news when they tried their fake subpoena schtick on Kupperman & then quickly folded when he went to court to call their bluff.
BUT IT IS GOING TO COME OUT NOW.
