Nunberg must be trying to send a message to Stone & Bannon: your secrets are safe with me (HINT: he's wrong). If he follows through, he is going to be held in contempt until he complies.
Found the hideously misinformed.
A subpoena is mandatory process. Your lawyer can help you try to narrow the subpoena. You can't just decide not to comply. That will earn you contempt.
Ya, let due process play out and the Constitution is very clear about forcing anyone to speak.
A warrant is enforceable, a summons/subpoena isn't. Sure a judge can hassle you, and force you through a warrant to answer, but then I was never accused of a crime to answer for in the first place. Am I being detained? For what crime? Not speaking is not a crime.
I think you have a warrant to appear before the court, conflated with a summons to appear before the court.
To avoid my fees, lawyers try that crap with me all the time, thinking I will be intimidated....
Did anyone else notice how many times Nunberg changed his clothes today? He wore something different for each one.
Was he pushing a suitcase back and forth between CNN and MSNBC or something? Geez, in the time he spent changing his clothes and being interviewed he could have whipped out all of those emails for Mueller.

Again, we're not talking about trying to force a expert witness to testify.
Your argument is all about that, and refusing to testify as a expert witness unless paid is perfectly fine.
If he ignores it he most certainly can be charged with contempt and go to jail.
Asks journalists who have, in fact, gone to jail rather than reveal a source.
He's talking big--and he will cave.
Incorrect.
In the United States, the person receiving the subpoena has the right to protest the subpoena. The party issuing the subpoena then has to make the case in front of a judge that it is necessary.
