Another defied subpoena?
"Where is their duty to this institution? Where is their duty to the Constitution? Where is there[sic?] respect for the rule of law?" - said the whiny Adam Schiff
Oh, this is funny, more gifts for the king:
The House plans to take its first formal vote Thursday on the impeachment inquiry into President Trump, Democratic leaders said Monday, ushering in a new phase as they prepare to go public with their investigation into his dealings with Ukraine.
Democrats described the vote, in which they plan to "affirm" the inquiry, as a necessary next step to be able to push it forward, rather than a response to sustained criticism from Republicans and the White House, who have accused them of throwing out past impeachment precedents and denying the president due process rights.
Waiting for the other shoe, with the dreadful thought that she is the only one that would match. *sigh* We don't need a another Trump/Clinton presidency. Please! "Is there anybody else?"

Loath as I am to link the NYT I believe this author makes a good point: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/31/opinion/trump-impeachment-inquiry.html [nytimes.com]
Seen from this angle, the subpoena wasn't anything more than a last, morbidly-curious attempt to see if Trump and company were going to show respect for the rule of law under their own initiative, one which almost surely knew the answer to its own rhetorical question beforehand. As the article states, "procedure is where the rubber meets the road."
Think of this as the inflection point between the cop stopping you and asking if you've been drinking, and pulling out the breathalyser.
