I am worried for Sam Nunberg‘s well-being but if he ignores a federal subpoena, he should be sent to jail until Hell freezes over.

I do think they should send him to jail if he fails to comply.

He also probably wouldn't need to serve.

He isn't refusing to testify on principle just because its inconvenient.

Most likely he would be brought before a judge and the judge would ask Mueller to give him a time frame or a more narrow scope and Nunberg would likely comply.
