subpoena - whether it's congressional or a grand jury at the local level?
They chose to ignore - unlike the other individuals named in this thread: Barr & Garland - who each appeared and had a claim of executive privilege and Lerner, who appeared and plead the 5th. In all three cases, the individuals were held in contempt (because that's the power the ruling party has) - but in all three cases, the DOJ declined to prosecute (and that's their judgement.)
Failing to appear takes the judgement out of it.
