So far Pat Toomey (R) and Sherrod Brown(D) haven't issued a subpoena, but have threatened to, I think it time to do so.
Will be interesting to see what Maxine Walters (D) and Patrick McHenry (R) (House committee) do. I'll assume we all know Maxine's statement, that she didn't have plans to. Now if she meant never ever plans to, then I disagree. Lets see what everyone's next step is.

Now back to my question:
Why subpoena someone who has indicated they will willingly testify? Optics?
Is your response answering that question? I don't see where you are. If so you seem to be saying that people shouldn't be asked to show up voluntary first. I disagree. That would give any opposition a chance to throw shade because the person was forced to show up, throwing doubt on their sincerity.
