I dunno about that. They could have just requested his presence, then shrugged their shoulders when he didn’t show. But they didn’t do that - they actually subpoenaed him , which suggests they’re actually serious about it. I don’t think they would have gone that far if they didn’t intend to compel his presence.

Wait What
WASHINGTON — The trial of a former U.S. Capitol Police officer charged in the Jan. 6 riot began Tuesday with jurors set to decide whether his Facebook message warning a rioter to remove information from a public post amount to obstruction of a federal grand jury.
…
Macchiaroli made clear he would be pitting the Justice Department’s theory against Riley’s 26 years of service, including his role on Jan. 6. Jurors heard Tuesday that Riley was the first officer to respond to the scene when pipe bombs were discovered at the RNC and DNC headquarters near the Capitol.

Whaaaa?
Then asks the committee not to read them?

He shouldn’t just have asked - he also should have made a pinkie swear that there was nothing of any interest in those documents. That would have, like, totally worked.

My suspicion is that he didn’t want to go to jail for defying the subpoena but was also looking for a bone to toss Trump & Co. when they turn on him out for cooperating with the committee.
“But boss… I told them not to read the documents! It’s not my fault!”

This isn’t about the hearings, but this topic seems to be the only Jan. 6 thread still open, so I’ll put this here:
