When Bannon refused to answer after being subpoenaed

[SHRED]

Could they have arrested him?
If so why didn't they?

1. If he refused to speak to the committee why do people think he'll talk to Mueller.

3. Congress is toothless

Nunes won't enforce his subpoena. He's not interested in finding the truth.

Robert Mueller will enforce his subpoena, however. If Bannon doesn't answer questions in his Grand Jury testimony, Mr. Mueller can have him jailed. I don't think Bannon will want to spend five minutes behind bars, do you?

Here's another thought about this cabal. They all hate one another. Every one of this disgusting crew of idiots has a shiv for every one else. The infighting of this administration is the worst in my lifetime and it has added to the incompetence and ineptitude of the White House. This testimony could be Bannon's opportunity to get even with Trump while saying that he didn't have any choice but to tell the truth.

2. It will be up to a court on whether executive privilege applies or not

and they probably couldn't arrest him. Congress can compel him to show up, but that doesn't mean he has to answer questions.

4. All for show

The big difference is that the Grand Jury will keep mum on what he says (For now at least).

If Bannon is going to tell all, he wants it to look like he's not saying anything. Trump has blackmail info on Bannon, you can bet on that.
