This will probably never happen but what needs to be done is a “Republican” congress, under newly elected PDJT, need to pass a law placing all government employees under a “civilian” equivalent of the UCMJ’s failure to obey a lawful order. The law would need to set up an Administrative Law Judge system to hold employees accused of failure to obey a lawful order accountable. If found guilty they would be immediately terminated. Any appeals would be as a “former” employee with the possibility of having the guilty finding overturned and lost wages awarded and the position reinstated.
This would stop 75-80% of the failure to obey cases that are so rampant in government. Most employees will not risk their livelihood for the cause. Currently there are no consequences for not following orders.

Sounds to me like a good idea.
It certainly would end the practice of government employees ignoring a court order or refusals to cooperate with congressional needs.
But courts already have the power to punish for contempt and they rarely if ever use that power against a high raking politician.
Like every other profession, there are both demons and wimps in the court system.
