October 23, 2021 - Congressman Tom McClintock: A congressional subpoena is different than a normal subpoena. A normal subpoena requires a judicial hearing to determine if there is legal cause to issue it. A congressional Tom McClintock Official Portrait 2020subpoena has no such check, so the reasons for a congressional subpoena are limited to Congress’ oversight responsibilities over the bureaucracy and to inform its legislative duties.  

Congress has no authority to issue subpoenas merely to find out who did what to whom. That’s what it is doing here, by the admission of its own members. Since Congress has no authority to issue such a subpoena, a respondent has no obligation to respect it.
