This is a Criminal Grand Jury. I think you are mistaken in your analysis.
If Nunberg ignores the subpoena, he’ll likely be found in civil contempt. The punishment is usually jail and/or fines. I hope he gets both if he ignores the subpoena.
No it is not, but all of the stuff around it is. Conspiracy to commit computer crimes for example. Conspiracy covers a ton of things around collusion when the person or country you collude with commit a crime.
But again...not the topic here. Why the non stop attempts to derail it?
The crime will be contempt of court. He CAN be detained and imprisoned for that. And the contempt arises from refusing to show up.
He absolutely can show up and plead the fifth. But thats not the discussion either.
Why can't you just talk about the topic? What are you so afraid of here?
You cannot be held in contempt for exercising your 5th amendment rights! Period!
A judge cannot even force a person indicted of a crime to testify. and here you are saying a summons has more power than an indictment? that is ridiculous.!

Jailed for a procedural infraction? I doubt it unless you want to wind up like the judge that incarcerated the reporter for not revealing her sources.
Yes, jail and/or fines are usual punishments for contemnors. Just because you live in a fantasy world that doesn’t conform to anything that resembles reality, a world of reality still exists out here. Jail and/or fines are some of the consequences Nunberg can expect if he ignores the subpoena.
