or is that new to you? 
They request info "nicely" and most comply. If they need more, they will send another letter to request more and/or clarifications to what was sent. But if the request is ignored, then they will send another letter referencing the previous request and asking "nicely" again if they could get that info. If that continues to be ignored, then they start escalating.
At that point, the subpoenas start happening, although with Democrats in the minority, the majority GOP would probably not allow it, BUT depending on the subject (in the rare cases of "bipartisan" agreement), they might.
Would you rather them sit there and just talk during hearings broadcast on the CSPANs and then off to the liquid lunch?
