If there is known criminal activity, a subpoena can be obtained, but there is no evidence.

The question is whether a President can ignore a subpoena.

The ones Trump's fighting have already been issued.

I think he is right to challenge it. I think he is right to claim his tax returns are none of their business, considering the circumstances.

We have 3 equal branches of government. One half of one branch can’t order the executive branch to do anything.

The question is why didn’t they get 3rd branch, the Court, involved??? Then they would have standing.

I suspect they knew they couldn’t get the Court’s support.

AFAIK, a president has something called EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE, and even George Washington exercised that privilege, and it has been upheld by courts.
